Beware those contest entry forms

At state and county fairs, restaurant and store counters and many other places, you may have seen a poster for a contest to win a car, a free carpet shampooing or any number of other prizes. Be aware that when you complete this form, you're probably agreeing to sign up for a service, receive telemarketing calls, switch your long distance service, etc.

This registration form was at the counter at a Chinese restaurant - the lucky winner will receive a riding lawn mower. Note the language under the "Very Important" section at the bottom. In this case, you agree they can make telemarketing calls to you even if you're on the No Call list.
