Cell Phone Warning from the College

Messages fly about the colleges like internet wildfire. It is always best to check any questionable subject with Snopes. I've been suckered in the past. I read in a newsie that this was being considered but do not know if it has actually come to pass.

Daughter Jo said she had already received some telemarketing calls - see blue text below.
