Something in the back of my mind tells me this is one of those fake e-Mails that go around.  Yes here is a national do not call list for home phones (wireline).  But it is illegal for them to call cell phones (wireless) because there is a charge to you for the call.  Anybody got the URL for a place to check these out? This one is fishy...

Also, the website is a secure .gov site so...
