You can get on telemarketing lists in many ways:

► By having a listed telephone number

► Through a reverse phone book organized by neighborhood

► When you dial an 800 number that uses an Automatic Number Identification system (ANI) to record your number

► Via credit information services, such as Equifax, etc.

► By ordering products or services from direct marketers or catalogs, whether you order through the mail, from web sites, or via 800 numbers

► By printing or including your telephone number on your personal checks

► Even by simply paying your monthly bills
