1-888-382-1222 DNC Cell Phone
Question: I just received a call from a friend telling me that starting tomorrow telemarketers would begin calling cell phones and the users would be charged for the calls. The way to avoid the calls and the charges is to call 1-888-382-1222. These are usually a scam or a hoax and I was wondering if you knew anything about it? Thanks.
Answer: Not True. If they do, they are in trouble! The government states that it is not necessary to register your cell phone number on the DNC Registry.
The truth about cell phones and the DNC Registry is:
- The government will not release your cell phone number to telemarketers
- You will NOT soon be getting telemarketing calls on your cell phone.
- There is NOT a deadline in which you have to register a cell phone number in the Do Not Call Registry.
- The FCC prohibits telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.
- There is only ONE DNC Registry. There is no separate registry for cell phones.
I don’t know if 1-888-382-1222 is a valid number, but you can call 1-877-382-4357 use the complaint form at http://www.ftc.gov.
