REMINDER....12 days from today, 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.Or go on line at http://www.donotcall.gov
It is the National DO NOT CALL list.
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.

Sorry Devin, that's not true. When you read something that just sounds a bit odd or seemingly unbelievable always check out http://www.snopes.com/ first. Especially if the e-mail or posting warns of either impending bad things or unbelievable good things.
Here is a link debunking your message:

This type of thing is called a "thought virus" -- it spreads like wildfire by those who buy into it's scare/reward tactics. Please help stop the spread of these by checking first on Snopes. It will also make you look like you really know your stuff. :D

I did check Snopes. I don't often fall prey to such stuff.

they still call anyway. They know its a pain in the @ss to make a complaint and no big deal. I've been on the list for several years and it ain't stopped them from calling and I got better things to do then call and make a complaint. Easier just to say no thanks and hang up.

The most fun is to adopt a funny accent (to match theirs of course). I usually pick either Indian or my personal favorite, full on Redneck! Nothing is more fun than talking to somebody who's following a script when you start asking them redneck questions. And when you play a redneck, you can be as stupid as you want to. Make them hate their job so much that they want to quit or they start cussing you out because you're too dumb. Ahhh....that's gratification. :D
