[Vision2020] HOAX Cell Phone Numbers Go Public Today

[Bruce and Jean Livingston]

I would assume that is the actual National Do Not Call number.  That number 
would not be a hoax.  That number would be the one that many of us called to 
put our land lines on the do not call list.  The hoax would be the part of 
the message saying that cellphone numbers were going to be released to 
telemarketers.
