Thumbs up

Fax Preference Service
Compliance Dept
Fax 020 7930 0554

Just fax them on headed with your fax number included and ask to be registered as not wanting to receive unsolicited faxes. Works a treat.

If only there was a similar set up for junk e-mail!!

Question

Anyone know a way of stopping these - the damned things use our fax paper, toner and then you need to phone a number to be removed fron the dialling list. Fax tells you to phone 0871 424 1262 to stop the calls but the number is always conveniently unavailable. Company's called Medici Print in Bournemouth.
There must be to stop them or get our own back somehow?

I listed out office fax number on the FPS, and after a few weeks, the amount of spam faxes had fallen dramatically. We still get the odd one, but only a freaction of what we used to get.

The best ones though are the spam faxes that have a free fax number to reply to
