    I've been getting a ton of junk faxes lately, all times of day and night, which is really annoying because my fax line is my primary line. They all clearly come from the same outfit (touting penny stocks) but they don't have a return fax number at the top of the fax sheet. They do have a "call this number to be removed" 800 number but they are all different on each fax and calling them has no effect. Any ideas?

    If you have your name removed from their lists, your number goes out to five more companies to send you junk! Do what I do! If there is a return fax number or you can call the company and ask them for their fax number, dial them as I do after work hours.............And let it run for a few hours!!!!!! If they are on a paper fax machine, they will come to their office the next day to no paper, no toner and maybe a burnt out element (or an office that burned down because their laser printer got too hot!).

    Put your fax number on the Do Not Call List and never leave it on over night.

    Not an option for my business (and probably others) as customers fax me orders 24/7, especially from the Far East, so the machine stays on.
