Email Hoax: The Truth About the Do-Not-Call List An email warning that telemarketers will soon be targeting cell phones has been re-circulating. This email is a hoax according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The bogus email warns that with the release of a cell phone 411 directory (expected in 2006) telemarketer calls will flood consumer cell phones, creating enormous bills for consumers. The FCC clarified that this is not going to happen because in most cases telemarketing calls to cell phones are already illegal. For more information, see the full release at http://ftp.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/truthaboutcellphones.html To prevent sales calls from getting through, consumers should register their cell phone number with the Do-Not-Call Registry at www.donotcall.gov. Or call 888-382-1222.The registry has always included cell phone numbers. For more information see the PRC's alert on this matter, available at: www.privacyrights.org/Consumer/CellTMers.htm
