OT, early AM fax spammers.

The older I get the more I value my sleep. But....I have older parents and I dread the late night call from the SO saying they are in hospital.

Last night I got a call at 3am......freaking FAX from a spammer. WHOIS, lists the registrar in MS, an address in MI and an 800# in WA.


Please send them a full color fax of whatever you feel is obnoxious...

You have an 800#?

Just fill someone's voice mail with your choice of background music, happy in the knowledge it cost them real money to get it. A short message explaining why at the beginning is optional.

I'm told some of those systems will take 20-30 minutes of message per call...

I get some of the fax spam calls quite frequent. I believe they have their number so scrambled, that it would be very hard to actually know where they are located. I also know that a lot of fax machines have an access code, in order to make changes or whatever. Maybe someday I will hit the correct code and be able to kill their attack, if only for a little while.
Doesn't everybody have an 800 number?
