They've probably got more calls coming in than they can handle. I also wonder just how effective and/or quick they will be about removing the data from their database. Has anyone actually tried to get hold of someone's number rather than just tried to opt-out of having theirs given out? I think it's worth asking for my own number to see whether I'm listed in the 1st place, and then see what happens next......
