Beginning today, all cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers. If you’re like me and you don’t answer your phone unless you recognize the number, it won’t affect you.
But to those of you who jump to answer every call – get ready to be besieged by telemarketers hawking everything under the sun!
The Federal Trade Commission has set up a National Do Not Call Registry where you can add your cell number to a Do Not Call list. You must call from the cell phone that you are registering. The number is 1-888 382-1222 or visit Donotcall.gov.
Not mine.
My cellphone number has been on the DO NOT FUCKING CALL ME List!!!
Took care of that. Thanks for the heads up!
I’ve already done mine, hubby’s and kids a long time ago. The sad thing is the DNC list are only good for 3 years and you have you have to re do them.
Oh hell F*ing no – that’s why I’ve been on the list!
Thanks Anna – maybe I need to re do it.
I put my number on that list like 2 years ago but recently
I have been receiving all kinds of crazy calls people
telling me I have won things and my warranty on my car is about to expire. I just re-registered my number I sincerely hopes it
works this time. A live person has not been on the phone its all pre recorded messages.
i had my number blocked out months ago..+ if you are not programmed you won’t get answered…lol.
Dialing the Do Not Registry as I type…seriously lol.
Do Not Call I mean…sorry!
I did that too thanks for the warning though I am like you sandra don’t answer private numbers or don’t know numbers
damm, i opted out last year and now again?. what the hell we paying all these cell phones xtra fees and special federal taxes that can’t be explained if they are going to dumb our numbers like that!! some folks get these stupid calls on their unlisted land line numbers and now for the folks who use their cell # as their primary telephone number?!! the next thing they are going to do is give out our e-mail address!
I put mine in the do not call list months ago
oops!! that word should of been dumped instead of dumb. lol
Yeah, I registered with the Do Not Call List a month ago in anticipation of this. I was sent an e-mail notification in advance. It works everyone.
I registered but I heard that this isn’t real. The same email has been circulating for years with a different threat date.
this shyt has already started and I cursed out two people as it was
Y’all this is a internet hoax, goes around every year….don’t fall for it…
