People across the country have been getting emails detailing how telemarketers are obtaining cell phone numbers to start cold calling them. This email has been in circulation before and is not true.
Another Urban Legend; and that’s great news for all you cell phone toting consumers out there. The Federal Trade Commission has said that it is illegal for most companies to call cell phone numbers to push their service or products. This of course has not alleviated the fact that thousands of people are calling the FTC to see what they can do to stay off telemarketers hit lists.
The FTC says consumers can add their cell phone numbers to the Do Not Call list, but that’s unnecessary. If you would like to add your cell phone number to the National Do Not Call list, you can call 1.888.382.1222 or sign up via web page www.donotcall.gov.
