Caution: Info for sale?

[sinton66]

I got this in an email, and was wondering if anyone else had heard about this.

For your information.
Just wanted to let everyone know who hasn't already heard...the four
major
credit bureaus in the US will be allowed, starting July 1, to release
your
credit info, mailing addresses, phone numbers, etc., to anyone who
requests
it. If you would like to 'opt out' of this release of your info, you
can
call 1-888-567-8688. It only takes a couple of minutes to do. Once the
message starts you'll choose option #2, then option #3, then option #3
again
(the first option is only for a two-year period...option #3 opts you
out
forever.
PLEASE PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE YOU KNOW!!!

BTW, it's a good idea to check out any outlandish stuff you receive via e-mail or see on the Internet. There are other sites where you can do that, but the one below is one of the best.
