Subject: NATL DO NOT CALL LIST FOR CELL PHONES......

JUST  A REMINDER... 31 days from today, cell phone numbers are being
released  to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive
sale 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. PASS THIS ON TO ALL
YOUR  FRIENDS

I got a telemarketer call on my cell the other day, a recording, and it was a language I don't speak!

Mike, where did you get that phone number to call?  Personally I'd be very leary about it unless it came from a SUPER reliable source.  The "scammers" are VERY, VERY creative folks.

If you'd prefer to not call that number go to the National Do-Not-Call Registry web-site to register your phone numbers, cell and land lines.  Lots more info here on the FCC Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau web-site. 

You can also go to the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) web-site to register your phone numbers, mailing address(es), and e-mail address(es) to reduce the amount of telemarketing and junk-mail that comes at you.

In fact, here's a link to info directly on the DMA's web-site regarding the cell phone issue.

I work in the customer privacy area of a major financial institution and know that the above web-sites work when properly used by the marketing areas of companies.

I would think that Kelly should be in the know from her position/title, but based on the info on the links I've provided above I'd respectfully challenge her on the information she gave you.
