[lace-chat] Cell phone numbers and do not call registry
I got this from my mother in law - took two minutes to register both my phones (the land line as well); you can also register at http://www.donotcall.gov - It's a U.S. government program. REMINDER12 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. 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. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number. HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS. It takes abo ut 20 seconds. Yours, Dora Smith Austin, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG.

Re: [lace-chat] Alert -- Re Cell phone numbers and do not call registry
I just looked up the webpage, and this is what is says right at the top of the page: "Did you get an email claiming that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls because of a new cell phone number database? Those claims are not true. In fact, federal law prohibits telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phones. You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, but there is generally no reason to do so. For more information, see the FTC's press release "The Truth about Cell Phones and the Do Not Call Registry".

RE: [lace-chat] Re: Cell phone numbers and do not call registry
I found out one thing the hard way: if you are already a customer, a company can phone you (legally) for mass marketing purposes. Found that out when Verizon kept on calling me dispite my repeated demands that I be placed on their "do not call" list, and I've been on the federal "do not call" list since its inception. I was getting up to four calls a day -- a sure way to turn off a customer. Solution: I'm switching to the local cable company for telephone service. Now I won't be a Verizon customer, and I hope they will have to stop the phone solicitations.

Re: [lace-chat] How to replace corningware dishes
Alice; I purchased the e-bay plates you let me know about. Then I went back to order the set you sent me to below, but it won't let me put them in the shopping cart. I found the corresponding listing on Amazon, and it says they're out of it and don't know when they'll have it in stock. I searched for the set in google and apparently this was something that store exclusively carried through Amazon.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: Cell phone numbers and do not call registry
I read it - and I'm totally confused. What's that do-not-call registry, bogus? It sure accepted phone numbers, and it it's a scam, it 's certainly well done. What's the point of registering phone numbers if noone is going to call us? Why would they bother to have a registry if no need for it?

Re: [lace-chat] Re: Cell phone numbers and do not call registry
Carolyn: You can always tell anyone in writing to never contact you again, and if they do, file a complaint. I've worked in a call center. I've also worked for survey research firms. The problem could be that you told the wrong person - ie, told a subcontractor like a telemarketing company or a survey research company to tell the company to never call you again - and the person you spoke to had no means to do that. You have to write to the company directly, and tell them never to call you again - if that is how you feel. What if you have to call them about a problem with the product you bought?

That's why I said the do-not-call registry is only half-effective. Charities and politcians are also exempt from the ban. As are, of course, scammers, who do not have to obey any rules or laws at all :) Now I won't be a Verizon customer, and I hope they will have to stop the phone solicitations. Not for the next two years or more. It's not just current customers they're allowed to pester; it's the past ones as well (who knows, maybe you'll change your mind, just to get some relief ) As for Verizon specifically. My landline is not with them but my cell-phone is. My cell-phone is turned off most of the time (I only turn it on when I intend to make a call or expect one), so they couldn't bug me that way. Then I got a couple of calls, purporting to be from them, on my landline. The calls smelled a bit fishy to me (asking for all kinds of info -- like Social Security number -- which I do not give to people who call me; offering a free phone, etc), so I went to the local Verizon franchise to talk about that. And they confirmed that the calls had, in all likelihood, been scams, bent on identity theft. They said Verizon Wireless representatives might call me to upgrade my plan, etc (at no cost to me, since it's Verizon-to-Verizon), but they were not allowed to call on the landline, only on the cell-phone. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
