 This is an email I received the other day....
 
 
QuoteI bet this will start appearing on other " offers"  soon, beware!
 I got this from a friend who noticed this.   Possibly of interest to anyone who doesn t enjoy torturing innocent telemarketers.  Hey- what can I say- it gets tough talking to kids all day and by the time the telemarketers call I m primed and ready to have some fun.
 
 I verified this on http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/pending/callscam.asp
 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 alright. 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 there 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 of
 what we will get in the future so READ EVERYTHING before you SIGN AND
 SEND !! AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT.!!!! PLEASE !!!
 
 
 

 Just as an FYI, I always list my number as unlisted (even thought it is not) and if I sign up on the computer and it only accepts numbers, I list either 513-555-1212 or 513-347-1111 (for those who do not know these numbers the first is information and the second is for a pizza delivery in our area)

Till I got this, I never read the fine print either, except for contracts or where $$$$ is exchanged.
 
 My address labels even have my phone # on it, I think maybe when I re-order, I ll remove it.

 angelsmom10There s also the email version floating around the net, so be careful.  I get enough spam as it is from what slips through the filter.[:@]
