Hmm, am I correct in assuming this is a clever new spam trying to pretend it is related to the US government's donotcall.gov?

Subject: national opt-out directoryHello,
I am very concerned about all the spam and adult related material that I have been receiving in my email box. Since my children also use the same email, it is even more of a problem. I have tried to get my name and the kids off these lists, but it seems as if that has just made the problem worse.
I complained to my Internet provider, but they said that there was nothing they could do because there is no law against sending spam. They recommended several software programs for filtering out the spam and pornography, which I did try. Unfortunately, it didn't stop the majority of the inappropriate material that we were being exposed to.
I brought up this subject at a recent PTA meeting and was informed by a fellow parent of a non-profit organization called Remove.org. They are dedicated to stopping spam and pornography in email. They actually shut down irresponsible marketers who send adult related material and spam.
I have registered my email address with Remove.org and have been very pleased with the results. I would encourage you to do so as well, especially if your child has his own email account.
You can find their website at www.remove.org
Please forward this letter to everyone you know so that we can stop this problem.
Sincerely,
Lori Butler
