Charles, I have received the email about cell phones and warning people to put
their name or cell phone number on the do not call list several times over the
years. According to web sites that track urban legends this is false
information. My rule of thumb is when I receive any email urging me to do
something or anything and tells me to pass it on to everyone on my contact list
alarms go off in my head and I turn to www.snopes.com or www.factcheck.con to
check the subject line out. Even when you get an email from a trusted friend,
check it out first before sending it out again. This kind of mail is no place
for a chain letter like email unless the mailing list is set up to discuss
urban legends.

Chip,
are you saying this instruction never, before, had been ordered in America by
any legitimate source?

thanks for thinking of your friends Dorothy, but this is a very old hoax, at
least 5 years old. I didn't even read the entire message, but I bet it says
something like it's been verified on snopes.com well, it hasn't, and if you go
look, you'll see it's a hoax.
so, here's the new rule for posting any sort of warning about something bad
which may happen to you if you don't do something to prevent, and by the way
pass this on (always a part of these hoaxes):
* you are not allowed to post any such warning, especially the kind which say
to pass it on, unless you yourself have gone to snopes.com and verified that it
is not a hoax. DO NOT believe the message when it says this has been done.
thanks everyone.
Chip

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month.
REMINDER..... 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 have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone
number.
HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON .. It takes about 20 seconds
