Default Fyi

Cell phone numbers went public in Sept. and were released to telemarketers and soon you may start receiving sales calls. To prevent this , call this number from your cell phone 888-382-1222. This is the NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY CALL LIST. It blocks your number for 5 years. You must be calling from the number you want BLOCKED.. I have already done mine and my wifes phones since I have had 3 calls today alone.

Default I knid like it when they call.

I have a whistle at my desk and ask them a question in a real low voice where they ahve to ask again. That way I KNOW their listening real good and then blow that whistle in their ear. They're never on the phone when I ask if they heard that. LOL

He double L would I want a warrenty when I was a multi millionaire and if I wanted a new fridge, I'd open my wallet and go buy one. I got a uhhhhh, uuuhhhhh, Sorry for bothering you sir and they hung up

It pays to keep important information. You can then back up what you say.

FW: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public Tomorrow: (started in last part of June 2008)
From: Peggy Carlisle <plcarlisle@fedex.com>View Contact
To: Tim Bryant <jtb109pt@yahoo.com>

You should do this. Do home phone too.



Thanks,



Peggy






Cell Numbers Go Public Tomorrow REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are
being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow and you will start to receive sale calls.....AND 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 you want to have blocked. You CANNOT call from a different
phone number.


This E-mail was sent to me on 07-11-08 at 11:24 AM from FedEx
