Default Preventing unwanted faxes??

There are only 2 people who ever send me faxes, one is a business partner of my Dad's and the other a relative.

Over the last few days, i have recently started to receive upto 5 unsolicited faxes a day

The Number is the same as my Phone Number which is registered with the telephone preference service (which has prevented telesales calls).

Can anyone offer any advice as to how to stop these faxes, cos it's costing a fortune in ink!!.

Cheers

Andy

Try a wire mesh fence round the lower part of your existing fence, this will at the very least prevent the cubs from getting in you garden.


Try not to leave food unattended on you kitchen windowsill.


Unfortunately you have missed out on a hunting horse a guy had on here a while back - that would have done the trick

Urban foxes can be a nuisance in gardens and may pose a danger to small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs. For advice on deterring them humanely, ring the Fox Project Adviceline 0181 317 996

Yep, registering with the Fax Preference Service stopped off all our junk faxes, well worth doing.

Lightning, have you considered getting help with your dyslexia ?

Registered our office fax line with the FPS, and it cut the junk by a huge amount.

Was worth doing it IMO.
