    Cell Phone #'s to be released to telemarketers

    August 25th, cell phone numbers
    are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive
    sale calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS.....These telemarketers
    will eat up your free minutes and end up costing you money in the long run.


    To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:
    888-382-1222. It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a
    minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years.


    ..............or you can register on line at: www.donotcall.gov.

    -------------------------------
    Not sure if it was a hoax or not, but registered anyway...

    EDIT - It's a hoax

    good to do if you haven't already.

    EDIT - Didn't see your last sentence. Our AVP of Lending sent an email to staff about it as well last week.

    However, it's a good idea to call the DNCL and add your number regardless.
