Default Please Read (a public service announcement from RJ)

I got this email today from friend.



REMINDER 5 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

.......YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

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. You must call from the cell phone number you want to block. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

It take about 20 seconds

Thanks RJ, I hope that number doesn't put us on a telemarketing list.

Like you said, wait until it starts.

Kudos to thinking about us RJ, but it is a hoax.

A VERY good one at that.

Plain and simple don't answer the phone to numbers you do not know ....
they can't charge you if you don't pick up the phone ...
