About the Do Not Call List

Just thought you might like to know ....

Interesting - - -

This is to all of you that signed up for the "do not call" law.
This week I received a card in the mail that looked all right-- It said "vote for your favorite cola - Pepsi or Coke- and receive a complementary 12 pack" It didn't look suspicious--but for some reason I kept looking at it. THEN I FOUND IT !! At the bottom of the card here is a VERY small statement. It is SO small it is hard to read--but here is what it says----"By completing this form, you agree that sponsors and co-sponsors of this offer may telephone you , even if your number is found on a do not call registry or list " This REALLY upset me and I just wanted all my friends to be aware of this way to get around the "do not call" law !! Just think how many people will send this in and their do not call registry will be NO GOOD !! The company's name is MARKET SOLUTION. Please send this to all your friends that signed up for " do not call" . I think this is just one example of what we will get in the future--so READ EVERYTHING before you SIGN AND SEND !! AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT.!!!!
PLEASE !!!

NOTHING in mail or e-mail is FREE - there's always some
kind of catch!

I took one of those "What's your IQ" tests through MSN, and it wasn't until the very end that I was asked for my name, address and telephone number "for special offers"...I never did get the results, as I clicked back to my home page immediately.

I am starting to wisen up to these offers, the type that Bill mentioned. That is how they get you. I have yet to add my number to the list but it is going on there ASAP!!!

I believe it takes up to three months after the sign up and approval process to be put on the "National Do Not Call Registry."

If a telemarketer violates those on the registry, they could be fined up to $11,000.

I have a secondary Yahoo ID just for the purpose of those "forms" and so forth on the net. If I HAVE to put an email addy (unless it's something I trust and want to be on a list for), I use that Yahoo address. It's nothing but spam now anyway.
