- This happened to me (not from the same people though) and what I did was
- this. Luckilly, I knew the fax number of the sender. I wrote on two legal
- sized sheets of paper things to the effect of "Stop sending faxes to
- XXX-XXXX." I then taped the two pages end to end, and fed one end into the
- fax machine. I dialed up the sender and sent the fax. Before it was
- finished, I taped the end coming out of the fax to the end about to go in,
- and voila! Instant mega-fax! Since it's a loop, it'll keep sending until
- you stop it. I let it go for 15 or 20 minutes each call. It wasted so
- much paper on their end, they took my number off the list within three
- calls.
-
- I felt much better after that. :-)
