Daily Dish Tip:  If you haven’t already, put your name on the government's "do not call list."

It's really easy to do and will put an end to most of those pesky marketing phone calls. It won't stop all unsolicited calls because the law exempts political organizations, nonprofits, survey takers and companies with which you have a relationship.

Just call 888-382-1222 or go to www.donotcall.gov.  It just takes a minute.You can register up to three different phone numbers and your number will stay on the list forever!

Unfortunately, money scams have cropped up to capitalize on this helpful government service. The FTC has received numerous complaints about people offering to help consumers register, for a fee, or asking to confirm a registration.  These money scams are just a way to gain access to your personal information.
