>>Hi,
>>
>>I am a little tired of telemarketers. So, I decided to put my telephone number on the Do Not Call Registry. I Googled and the URL came up with
www.donotcall.gov. This site first suggest to register using the telephone number and my email.
>>I am concerned that this URL (although it looks very legitimate) could be a trap to get my information.
>>Anyone used this URL to register and put your telephone number on a Do Not Call list? This, of course, applies only to the residents of the USA.
>>
>>TIA

https://toao.net/595-lennyTrue story. I have a friend who runs a fairly good size company (about 20 people). Whenever a telemarketer would call, the receptionist would say "you need to talk to Ed" and switch him to the extension of some Ed Smith (I actually don't remember the name now). There was no person on this extension, only the voice mail. So, telemarketers would leave messages and periodically the company would delete all left messages.
Until one day a salesman shows up at the doors and says "I have an appointment with Ed Smith" :)
