You can also SUE the FAX spammer in small claims court.

fax spammer fined

You don't have to live in a country to sue in that country nor to report
law violators in that country to regulators in that country.

That said, I did stop a 'junk faxer' a couple of years ago by a somewhat
similar method.
They were sending 'pump and dump' stock tip faxes, with a 1 800 number at
the bottom to 'opt out'.
Of course, opting out had no effect...or rather confirmed your phone number
to the junk faxers.

I know this because I tried a couple of times and just got more junk faxes..

So I programmed my computer to repeatedly call the 'opt out' number and
'press the right buttons to "opt out"'.
Repeatedly.
Over and over.
All night long.

I think I only had to run it a couple of nights before they stopped hitting
my fax machine.

Mike you really hate spam don't you, I am just curious you in the
UK ?, and you don't have "infinite ignorance" your an intense
individual I like that and where I'm at complaints from private
citizens are like standing on top of Mt. Everest (alone) and yelling
for a cup of hot chocolate, if you don't fine a law suit you can't
even get access to basic public records. Honestly spam is not a big
problem here in the US, there is to many scamers trying to prey on old
people that can't even start a computer, crack dealers are more
ethecial than most lawyers, judges make up there own sets of rules for
the court, complaints what a joke, what you say, oh nyea my friend is
making me a USB x USB interface he said it's simple and it's will be
tweaked, see you can make any hardware you want in the US just don't
try to make $ on it., hey what's up with Google's new "Validation: For
verification purposes please type the characters you see in the
picture below or the numbers you hear by clicking the accessibility
icon" deal ?
