I just checked this out on snopes.com and it is false.  See this for complete info  Sorry, I wish I had checked it out before posting but felt the need to clarify rather than remove the blog post.

Paddy - like I replied to Barbara's blog, it isn't a bad idea but this message has been circulating since 2005 and is probably a hoax again.

Thanks for the information.  I had no idea the numbers were being released; I've been getting too many marketing calls already.

09/04/2008 07:12 AM by Jim Curry (Long & Foster)


You and Barbara are so ON!  Thanks!

09/04/2008 07:12 AM by Melody Botting Real Estate Network


Thanks for telling me!  This is a good way to let your clients know about it as well!

Kind Regards,

Manolis

Thanks for sharing.  I kept forgetting to do it.  I hate sales calls on my cell phone

Hi all the marketing calls we are getting are from other lists not from the cell numbers being published.  Sorry.

Paddy, I wrote a blog some time ago and someone told me about it and i updated mine to advise those of this error on my part.

thanks Nancy I guess we need to keep snopes.com on our bookmark lists to check these out.

The head of our tech department told me to register my cell phone.  I was sitting with him when my phone rang and it was a recorded message telling me my car warranty has expired.  I was getting at least one of those a day.  Now that I've registered my number - no more calls. 

09/04/2008 08:09 AM by Barbara J. Morley,PA (John R. Woods Realtors)


I will definitely register and think that I already have anyway, but the calls still continue anyway.  If I see a number that is blocked, I JUST DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE!  If they don't leave a message, then it could not have been that important!

09/04/2008 08:18 AM by Michael Klijanowicz - Relocation Specialist - Baltimore & Harford County (Baltimore & Harford County Maryland - Long and Foster )


Well I registered anyway but as I said the news that numbers are being released is false per snopes.  You have to opt in to allow them to disclose but our cell phones are out there on business cards and websites so it follows that others will get them on lists. Thanks Barbara

I like your screening method Michael but many of my clients have blocked numbers.

09/04/2008 08:43 AM by Paddy Pizappi PineBush & Hudson Valley NY Real Estate (RJ Smith Realty Real Estate Solutions)


I had someone call me today and they tried to tell me that since my number is on a website I am fair game....

not sure it is true...

your friend in Charlottesville!

09/04/2008 04:59 PM by Charles McDonald / Your Trusted Broker for Charlottesville Real Estate (RE/MAX Assured Property)


Well they got it from a public source but you don't have to listen to them Charles.  I find a no thank you not interested works well most of the time but I can get mean if they get too pushy!

09/04/2008 07:37 PM by Paddy Pizappi PineBush & Hudson Valley NY Real Estate (RJ Smith Realty Real Estate Solutions)


Hi Paddy- The Ulste MLS sent this message out in our daily MemberTalk- I assumed coming from them it was correct information- Oh well now I am block/blocked- Sorry for the misinformation, I will see if it helps with the telemarketers- I have never opted in- So now maybe opting out will help!

09/05/2008 04:05 AM by Barbara Carter Ulster County Real Estate Professional (Associate Broker Exit Realty Services)


Wow! I did not know anything about regestering my cellphone. Thanks for the post Paddy...

09/05/2008 04:30 AM by Michael Thornton - Nashville, TN area Home Inspector (Complete Home Inspections, Inc.)


Hi Barbara Wow I guess we all got caught up.  I am registered too.  Let's see what happens

Hi Michael Barbara and I are going to see if being registered makes a difference  We will let you know.
