Hi all,

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next month.REMINDER.... all 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. 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 TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 2 minutes.

Lenny, this has been the subject of a well-known urban legend for a few years now. Is there really something to it now?

I actually called the number Randy. I also called from the landline.My sales calls have been reduced dramatically. If its an urban legend, they went to the trouble of putting in an 888 number, and the urban legend seems to work and  results in less sales dweebs using up my airtime and valuble time in general.

Urban legends, long may they live! Especially the ones that seem to work.

Speaking of urban legends that work, Im off to track the down the hook man now (another urban legend). He doesnt have hands, he has sharpened  surgical steel hooks instead of hands, and frequents lovers lanes, where he kills and mutilates young lovers engaged in what young high school age lovers do.

I told my high school age daughter that story by candle light late one evening, with all the gory sound effects (scraping the fork on the bottom of a pan to get the sound effect of the hook scraping  the car body, before he closes in for the kill). She stays in on date night now and studies. Her grades have actually gone up.

Psycopath, or concerned caring father?  You decide!

This is what I was referring to.  We opted in for the "Do Not Call" list on our landline when it first came out, and it works really well.  Just not sure it's necessary for cell phones.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for that link. Maybe it is an urban legend, but I did notice something funny. Before moving to the orient, I never got any telemarketing calls on my US cell. But returning to the US 4 years later, I was getting several calls a day of the telemarketing sort on my cell. After calling that Do Not Call List number, I rarely get them now. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but it sure did seem to work.
