Not sure if this part is real or not but found this interesting:

Step #4
If you want to take matters into your own hands and don't mind spending a bunch of hours to do that, you can sue in small claims court. I can tell you that small claims works. For example, I got 16 faxes from First Chartered Investments and after a 15 minute hearing, walked out with 16 judgments for $2,500 each, a total of over $40,000 (see FirstChartered.pdf). Here's how to do it:

Kelly,
That is great information but man is it a whole lot to do.

I am going to start by calling my phone company and making sure that line has the same feature as my main house number.
If a call that is unidentified comes in, it puts them through hoops before they can ever connect with me.
Based on what I am seeing, they are sending these faxes from an unidentified number as none is recording on my fax received.

Called my phone company and learned I have a feature that by dialing *77, I can stop any call that tries to come in blocked, that for example use *67 to call me.
Will try that and see how that works before the next step, putting them through call privacy where they have to identify themselves first.
