Has anybody out there used Fax Fetch software to gather fax numbers from the web? What was your experience with it?
Thanks

bz,

You might want to research the pending "Do Not FAX" bill working it's way through the minefields of Washington bureaucracy (off shoot of the "Do Not Call" law already in effect) before you spend more time and money on this idea.

No, I have not used that product.

I really hate fax spam. I don't mind email spam that much as it take very little time to wish through the few hundred I receive each day, but fax spam actually costs me toner and paper.

Also, some states (CA) already have laws to prevent fax spam. I don't have it in front of me, but I think the fine is somewhere around $400 per fax. It is also very easy to get the judgement.

Great link Larry. I wish we could toss these spammers on their own island, without an oubound connection. They would kill themselves with the amount of spam!

Die spammers!

We don't have the problem anymore. We used to sift through a pile of junk faxes every morning, but now in the UK we have something called the fax preference service which controls unwanted faxes. If you register with them they advise all members of their organisation and after about a month the faxes stop. Ours stopped totally, now we only get faxes from customers and suppliers no more junk. As we have registered a preference not to receive unsolicited fax mail anyone who still sends it can be reported to the fax preference service, and if they don't stop they will be prosecuted and heavily fined. It makes you proud to be British.

I for one am extremely puzzled why we didn't receive bzmeltzer's profuse thanks for our collective input, relevant conclusions and intelligent guidance in this matter. Ah, go figure :)

thank you
thank you
THANK YOU
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

It was a passing thought before I did anything and also considered the spamming issue. SO....

Yes - I appreciate everyone's concern re: spamming, and legality.

but seriously Larry/Bobbby, you don't have to be such AH's about it.

Next time I post here I will be sure to purify my thoughts and only be PC.

Bobby,

... and I thought it was too late, even given the coercion . ... and, gosh, don't you think the degree of sincerity was a trifle suspect since we both got called a naughty name in the process being "thanked"?

But seriously BZ, altogether absent does it for me better than your being Politically Correct.
