- This is agood way to get back at a school or place of business you do not
- like very much. Most fax machines used to use thermal paper that came in
- rolls and was VERY expensive, but most machines use plain paper now. This is
- much more effective with rolls, but is still costly even with plain. And if
- the victim is a company, the revenues they can lose from their fax line being
- busied out can be substantial.
-
- All you need is:
-
- A fax machine
- 3-4 sheets black construction paper
- Tape
-
- First, if you can program the number you're calling from into the machine,
- since that name and number will be on top of every page, change it to someone
- else's name and number whom you do not like. Now, call the victim's fax line,
- and take the paper (which you already taped together to form one LONG sheet)
- and feed it in. When you get both ends free of the machine (one having not
- gone in yet, and one end already out), tape them together, so you get a big
- black loop. THis eats all their paper, and uses all their toner, as well as
- blocking up their fax line until they notice. Often in big corps, they don't
- run to the fax machine everytime it rings, so you can leave the thing running
- for quite a while before they hang up. Enjoy.
