Again some great info from Sean "the cell-mate" Hoover...
REMINDER...12 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls........YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS. To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222 . (You must call on the phone that you want registered- this will not work from another number) 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.
Help others by passing this on to friends and the family members you actually like (sorry I added that part) It only takes about 20 seconds, (or the time it takes for Hardwood to down a Kiev-again I took liberty)
Thanks Sean, and if you let 10 friends know about this you will have good Karma for the rest of the year!

Thanks, how do I block all the MLM people here in Utah?
Eatsleepermtb,
To stop MLM'ers.
1. Call 1-800-Uncle Vinny.
2. Explain your situation to Uncle Vinny
3. Pay Uncle Vinny.
4. Uncle Vinny will then use his gift of gab to come to a mutual agreement with the culprit to no longer call you, and to make sure that nobody else does either...
It's that simple, one call and a handful of cash, no cards excepted.

It doesn't look like this is actually true. Check it out:

Great work Ut-ster, I will post that tomorrow, the good news is no harm no foul.
Thanks, I appreciate the overview.
Sean, you're fired! Just kidding.

Gotta be careful about those chain mails going around. Very few stories in them are actually true. Some may spread viruses or at least harvest emails for spam. If unsure about some stories in the mail check sites like snopes.com or urbanlegends.com.
P-man, you're right... obviously this one was in chain mail form with the "tell more friends and family" that should be a red flag in the future...
It was a brilliant scam because it's an emotional issue with your cell...what an invasion of privacy with telemarketing directly to your beloved cell... if this were true these calls could bring potential law suits to the companies marketing the cell users... imagine answering and getting into an accident (where it's legal to do both) some of the blame could be placed on the contracting company...it would be sue city... not to be confused with the Sue City (Iowa) named after the famous Sue City Indian Tribe that some believed invented the jurisprudence system we use in the country now... anyway lots of suits there... that's a little know fact you can take to the bank.
Solution?...screen all calls...
