cell phone telemarketing.

[Numbers]

Seriously, I drive a 2000 mustang. I am pretty sure that my factory warrenty on my car ran out some time ago. Quit calling me with an automated faux-warning. Is anybody else getting these?

I've been getting them for months. I have a 1995 Camry; I know the warranty is over with.

Telemarketing to cell phones is illegal whether or not you are on the do not call list. That said, I've gotten this call a few times too. Can't remember the details, but I remember thinking that it was some kind of phishing operation.

So far telemarketers don't seem to have my cell number. I have gotten a few texts though with stock "tips." How can that possibly benefit whoever is sending those texts? What kind of moron would you have to be to buy those stocks, if those companies even exist, that is?

I've gotten these too and wondered the same thing. They appear to be for stocks that are trading at very low prices with no volume. Maybe they figure that they only have to find a few suckers, though it's hard to imagine anyone actually buying a stock in response to a cryptic stock tip texted by a stranger.

I've gotten several spam text messages trying to direct me to dating websites. I hate that I can't complain to anyone directly responsible.

Still don't own a cellphone. They sound terrible.

You are a wise man. They make you a prisoner.

Heh, a friend turned me on to the don't call cellphone list about 3 days before those kinds of calls started. Best thing I've ever signed up for.
