Think about it: phone spammers are evil, despicable people. Why would they have any motivation to check their number list with any do-not-call registry? That would mean they would have less people to call. Why would they do that? The attorneys general around the country have neither the smarts nor the power to whack these moles, regardless of what you may have read in the news. THE GOOD NEWS: Cell phone numbers being released to the phone spammers is a hoax: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0133-cell-phones-and-do-not-call-registry [Note to John: Facebook is not a news source, unless it's news of your grandkids, and then only if you're on good terms with your children. ::-) Sorry.] -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker 9/10/11/12 Certified Developer Fletcher Data Consulting [email protected] http://www.fletcherdata.com 502-509-7137 Kentuckiana's FileMaker Developers Group Next meeting: Tuesday, May 27th, noon to 3:30 http://www.kyfmp.com
