| 243334 | 2004-06-10 16:57:00 | Hi Guys, can anyone here remember the article Geoff Palmer wrote a while back about Baron Marketing? We are getting bombarded with this spam, on several of our fax machines, and I want it to end!! I don't remember the reaction to his request to stop, but I think it didn't. His advice was....... Thanks to anyone with a huge memory, or magazine collection. |

| 243338 | 2004-06-10 21:14:00 | Best trick I found for fax marketers who wouldn't quit after repeated requests is if you have an old fax machine (thermal paper etc) feed it in, fax it to the spammer in question, as it moves through the machine tape the ends together. 1 x infinte loop of fax (until their machine runs out of paper). |

| 243340 | 2004-06-10 23:58:00 | Heehee. Thanks WTF and Parry. I may have to try those just for the fun of it | Curious George (3535) | ||
| 243341 | 2004-06-11 02:38:00 | Great ideas provided you accept that if you are using a business line then it's costing you 4.5c/minute. Doesn't sound much to the average person but those charges add up very fast. Personally I would do it and pay for the calls happy at the thought of sweet revenge. |
