I know my friends are too savvy to fall for something like this, but you
might know someone less gifted that could use this information. (Don't try
to be funny by sending it back to me...)
--> FTC, STATES GEARING UP FOR DO NOT CALL LIST
The Federal Trade Commission is preparing to accept signups for
a national Do Not Call list. Most telemarketers will be forbidden
to call the people who sign up.
The FTC effort doesn't begin until July. But California (and probably
other states) have already launched signups. You can get more
information at:

http://nocall.doj.state.ca.us/
Both the FTC and California warn of possible scams in these signups.
You could receive telephone calls or spam soliciting your Social
Security number or other sensitive information. Don't fall for that.
No one legitimate will solicit you for the Do Not Call list.
