Is this a scam?

[jenr]

I got this email last night?



This is for Australian phone numbers

REMEMBER: Mobile Phone Numbers Go Public next month.

REMINDER all mobile phone numbers are being released to
Telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls.

YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

Below is a link where you can enter your phone numbers online to put
An end to telemarketing calls. Don't just delete those calls
Otherwise you will find that you have been signed up for all sorts
Of extra services that you didn't want or know about. Like special
Chimes, music etc.

PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN...

Not sure Jen do not call is a legit site but I'm on the do not call register I didn't get this e-mail. Look on the Snopes site to see if it's a scam.

SCAM

Jen who sent you the email ?

[jenr]

A friend sent it to me Mel thats why I asked cause she is usually cautious I will let her know.

[Sparkles]

Jen its being doing the rounds for years now.

but in saying that its a good idea to register with the do not call, but if you have asked for your mobile no not to appear say in thw white pages then no one can get it.

[Sparkles]

actually i read it again and its scaremongering saying people will have to pay for the calls......

You all should have *Hoax Slayer* and or * Snopes*
This is how I check what is true or false..

The Do Not Call register and website are genuine. Mobile numbers going public and being charged for telemarketing calls is a scam.
