How to Block Junk Fax Telemarketers
Do you receive calls from a fax machine? Does you fax
machine spew out junk advertising?
These are typically calls from telemarketers autofax programs.
Autofax dialers can produce, store, and dial telephone numbers using a random
or sequential number generator. Often, they dial every number in a sequence,
hoping that some are valid and they will connect to a fax machine.
Autofax programs typically send through a scam about stock
market tips. Once they do connect, they add the fax number to their list
of valid fax machines for future pitches. You've probably seen the stack
of sleazy fax advertisements by your company fax machine.

Definitions
To understand the revised rules, you must first
understand the meaning of the terms "unsolicited
advertisement" and "established business
relationship."
As defined in FCC rules, an "unsolicited
advertisement" is "any material advertising the
commercial availability or quality of any property, goods, or
services which is transmitted to any person without that person's
prior express invitation or permission, in writing or
otherwise."
Also as defined in FCC rules, an "established
business relationship" or EBR is "a prior or existing
relationship formed by a voluntary two-way communication between a
person or entity and a business or residential subscriber with or
without an exchange of consideration [payment], on the basis of an
inquiry, application, purchase or transaction by the business or
residential subscriber regarding products or services offered by
such person or entity, which relationship has not been previously
terminated by either party."

How to Block Fax Calls
The FCC rules prohibit unsolicited fax advertisements (under most
circumstances). In general, to stop unwanted fax advertisements, you must make
an "opt-out" request which must:
-
identify the fax number or numbers to which it relates; and
-
be sent to the telephone number, fax number, Web site address, or e-mail
address identified on the fax advertisement.
If you change your mind about receiving fax advertisements, you can
subsequently grant express permission to receive faxes from a particular
sender, orally or in writing.
This won't necessarily stop the faxes - especially if they are scammers
deliberately violating the law, but it does give you the right to sue
them. So, if that didn't work, what's next?
Try to Identify the Sender
-
Try a Google search of any of the phone numbers on the fax, such
as the sending number (if it is present), the respond-to number or
removal-me number.
-
Check whether the FCC has already received complaints about the fax:
See if this Junk Fax website has identified the fax:
-
Trap the call - After you receive a junk fax, immediately
dial *57. Note the date and time on the fax. You can call the police to
report harassing phone calls or call the phone company to do the same and
require them to start monitoring your line for more calls. Once the phone
company tells you the number, you have to find the owner of the
number.
-
Call the Remove-me number and match the response against the
table below.
| Remove-me number |

something like this ... |

Methods to stop the faxes
-
Put "Privacy Director" service from the phone company on your
fax lines. Calls from unidentified numbers will be blocked.
-
Calling them and asking to be removed generally does not work, as these
scammers are already operating outside the law, they don't care, and will
probably put your number of a list of now-verified fax numbers to sell to
others scammers.
Annoy the scammers
-
Some people have taken to faxing back to the fax number that sent them
the junk fax. They fax them a few sheets of black construction
paper. Their toner will be used quickly and probably put their fax machine
out of use with a maintenance needed unless they are using computers in
that case you are only annoying them by making them look at black faxes on
the computer.
-
Other people call the scammers back to engage them in idle conversation,
just to waste their time. Of course this has the disadvantage of providing
them your phone number, as *67 tto block sending your caller ID doesn't
work with 800 numbers. They use a different system called ANI
