If you're the recipient of garbage faxes, save them! You'll need 10 to qualify. If you have fewer than 10, post how many you have and consider forming a small group to send them all at once then have a party when the check arrives.

I'm in! I just looked in my recycling and pulled out 9! It makes me NUTS that these guys send their junk to me and it gets printed on my own paper - whatever I can do to help penalize them will be great. |

Wish I knew about this last week. I must have gotten close to ten in the last few days and threw them all out. I will begin saving them now. |

Can someone set up a deal like this for junk email? (I have an old email address on which I get more than 100 per day!) |

I have an e-fax, and I love it. I don't use any kind of faxes often, but this has really come in handy. I got a FREE number of my own at http://www.callwave.com. The faxes arrive as an attachment to an email message. I can print them, but I don't have to. I can print them multiple times if I want, without degradation of quality. I can file them with my email or other computer files. The service is free. I can receive my faxes wherever I am where I can receive my email.
I've received one or two junk faxes on this number, and they didn't consume any paper.

Do such services allow you to send faxes in some manner? I have a scanner but no fax machine. I can scan documents and attach them to emails, but I haven't figured out how to fax them out via the Internet. Seems like there ought to be a way to do that. |

I think you have to pay a monthly fee if you want to send faxes |

Yeah, I think it's like $10 a month and perhaps a per-page fee. It wasn't justified for me, since I would rarely need it. Windows has built-in fax-sending software anyway, using your phone line, and I would guess MacOS and Linux do, too. That's fine if you're printing things that are already on your computer. If not, you'll need a scanner to put an image into the computer, and then you can send it.

Dave, Thanks for this! I get several junk faxes every week. A couple of times I actually tried to call the number that they say will take you off their list (ha ha), but each fax has a different number even if it seems to be from the same company.
