Default Spam Fax Abuse....

I've already registered all my numbers with the FPS and TPS, over a year ago, to stop spam fax and marketing (which did stop it) but in the last week I've had someone trying to send an automated fax to my voiceline repeatedly. Just in the last 10 minutes they've called back through six times. I can't get the number because it's withheld.
Will BT be able to get the number for me and block it?

It may just be they have misdialled and they have retry set on.

As above but can you quickly switch plugs and connect to your fax machine so at least you can see who it's from?

Well, it's been happening for just over a week. I hope it's an error! Will wait and see.

Am I missing something? When I have had what seems like a fax coming into my phone in circumstances described above I just plugged my fax machine into the phone line so the bleeps and whistles were magically changed to a fax
