Receiving Unwanted Calls? Here's How to Stop it!

April 19, 2014 - PRLog -- There has been a recent increase in cell phone owners receiving unwanted calls by telemarketers selling a variety of products including credit services, home security devices, vacations, and prizes or sweepstakes entries.  Cell phone numbers are very valuable to these businesses as we always have our cell phones with us and they will do anything to get this information.  However, there are a few steps you can take to eliminate these interruptions and remove your cell phone number and email address from places where your privacy is not respected.

Those who are receiving unwanted calls must first request their phone number be added to the National Do Not Call Registry at www.donotcall.gov.  This prevents those businesses with whom you do not already do business with from contacting you.  However, be advised many of the places you already do business with have you agree to their marketing practices as part of their initial agreement.

Secondly, remove all contact information from social media or any other sources where your cell phone number or email address could be found randomly online.  Don't forget about the apps on your smart phone that may have access to not only your personal data but those in your contact list as well.  Telemarketers can easily search based on "likes", demographics or geographic area and pull up your personal cell phone number or email address.  This will also prevent ex-girlfriends or stalkers from finding your information as well.

Finally, once all of your information is removed from social media and added to the do not call list, you will want to find a way for the people you want to be contacted by to be able to find you.  Go to http://www.netsearch411.com and complete their free, simple profile.  NetSearch411.com is the largest, safest, and most private people search (http://www.netsearch411.com/) engine available.  When someone conducts a people search for your information, you will be notified immediately and have the opportunity to either grant or deny access to your personal contact information.
