So know how you get all these spam emails. Well one had information on the bottom of it telling you all about the laws of what is aloud and what isn't. It said if you did not want further emails to click the link and type remove as a title.... So I did. My email has been bombarded with junk ever since, coincidence???? I probably just responded to a server and gave them my email addy :realmad: Dumb ass......

we did the same but on faxes. We get so much crap from unsolicited sources. It is expensive enough to pay for ink cartridges, paper etc in the office and now we seem to have way more after asking to be removed off the list on some of them. I get so angry as this is costing me money!!! :nono:

Thats would suck for sure, email are an inconvenience but faxes and the cost would suck big time.

Get fax software on your computer - that will stop the waste of ink. Most fax software you can have the faxes forwarded to email which is a very useful.

Hey....people have fallen for worse. Guy I know at work fell for the "buy my quad through Ebay buyer protection and I'll ship it to you" scam a couple years ago. Cost him $5000.

Heck, there's still people on here falling into Willy's trap and actually replying to his crap! That's wayyyyyy more embarassing!:rolleyes:

that is one consideration but that means someone in the office will have to get it on their computer and take care of it. May work with a one man show but having 3 in the office maybe more difficult.

If your fax can print from file, just find a 1000 page PDF manual or something and fax it back to the number that you are getting the faxes from at the end of a workday.

They probably send it from a PC :-(
