<br />A bogus e-mail has been raising cell phone users' anxiety level. The e-mail warns that cell phone directories are about to be provided to telemarketers, when in fact no such directory yet exists and it is illegal to make telemarketing calls to cell phones. And regulators are reminding cell phone users they can sign up for the Do Not Call Registry.

Thanks. For a long time I've been getting calls from Puerto Rico and Texas every couple of months, and when I answer it's all in Spanish. I don't always get the chance to check the number before I answer. I hang up right away and so far haven't seen any unusual charges on my bill.

<br />"Did you get an email claiming that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls because of a new cell phone number database? Those claims are not true. In fact, federal law prohibits telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phones. You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, but there is generally no reason to do so.
