One way to fix fax telemarketers

[mmblz]

also you can get software to receive faxes and save them as pdf.
then only print if you actually need it
(requires a computer to be hooked up and waiting all the time though)

Print up the discussions from CA on whether or not to keep the celo on, how to season a new humi, what's a great cigar for under 50 cents. They'll either get tired and leave you alone or they sign up here and start bombing you with cigars

Which is the problem with thinking we are inflicting pain on the sender by returning faxes. These faxes typically come not from physical machines but fax software. We have used this type of technology for a long time. Inbound faxes are received and stored as PDF's. With the advent of IP phone technology this type of operation can scale up pretty massively for outbound blitzes with little means of doing much to them in response.

The PDF's do take up space though so virtual faxing to them enough content could chew up their disk space assuming they actually set up to receive and or store the results.

Send pictures of your A$$.

Yeah definately the "F-you Fax" is the top dog. Take about 15-20 black pages and fax away... will eat their ink cartridge up in no time flat.

Pete, it was working fine yesterday when I responded.
I didn't send to the fax number it came from.
I sent it to the business fax number for the one who wants me to contact them to get insurance with them.

If you really want to send a message. Contact them via phone. See how long you can keep them on the line talking.

Make it your daily morning wake-up routine over coffee for a few weeks. They might get the message in this way better than most.

Dave,
Some of these outfits are getting very smart to that.
In my case, the only contact number provided is a fax number, for both to respond to the add if interested and to contact them to have my number removed.
While two different numbers, both are faxes.

This.

ATT was jerking one of my employees around so he called and spent 1.5hrs talking to this one poor guy. Wasn't mean or yelling just overly nice and pleasant wanting to know how this guys life was going and what not. But the end of the phone call the guy was so grateful to get off the phone he offered him an early upgrade on his contract.

I agree with Da Klugz, show them a picture of your A$$ and send it over and over again! That is awesome!
