calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS.... To prevent this, call the
following number from your cell phone:

Answer 3

Yeah its for real and has greatly reduced the calls I get. In fact did not get any telemarketers for 2 years until last week when someone from overseas called claiming they were my credit card company. I said I was on do not call list and they hung up the phone immediately. I reported them so they would get fined. :)
