Anyone received this or it's just s junk mail?

Answer 1

It is a bunch of garbage from idiots for sure

Answer 2

It is legit for land line phones, currently it is illegal for telemarketers to call cell phones and your company will not give away your cell number to telemarketers. You do not have to call that number and add your cell phone but would go ahead and do it for any landline phones.



This email has been going around for about a year now.

Answer 3

It's legitimate. The National Do Not Call Registry is a real government initiative and the number quoted in that email is the real number to call as can be seen on this page:

Answer 4

I did this a few years back, and no problems. I was a little skeptical at first, not wanting my cell # out there, but I can say from experience, that it works.

Or, I am just not interesting to telemarketers, tee hee!!

Answer 5

If the mail reads: "Pass this on to all your friends" delete it, ignore it, it is spam.



Who will release the cell phone numbers? How can you be charged for calls made to you, it is impossible?
