Junk fax spammers in Fyshwick

Phone tone Phreaking is still an option when it comes to fax machines, you can effectivly shut them down or make them do crazy things. Also, there are a few fax viruses out there but i dont recommend even going near them.

LOL I’m sure THEIR getting the point Jakez.

26 Maryborough St Fyshwick.

You won’t get the extra 10% off by presenting the fax though. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

I feel left out because I didn’t get a fax! And I want to go to the damn sale! But I don’t know where the store is! Grrr…..

THEY’RE just so 1980’s.

Don’t kill me Gungahlin Al.

Problem with these old tricks is that they’ll be using a computer to drive it – i.e. no paper to waste at their end.

Considering leaving a half-dozen eggs out in the sun for a couple of weeks then paying a visit to Global Rags…

I have a REAL problem with it. Its theft! MY paper, MY ink! I had a problem some years ago, this sh*t came through 10 pages at a time. I was using thermal paper, so expensive. The real painful bit was that it was a premium number to respond no stop option or phone number. I had to go through the phone company in the end to get it stopped. So, I hope Global rags gets an infestation of Tineola bisselliella (Clothes moth)

That is probably the best argument against it. Personally when I started working in an office about 12 months ago, I was shocked to find out people still had fax machines.

Their just so 1980’s.

Oops, back on topic. Yes, back in the days of ye olde fax machines, we used to enjoy the looped fax game. A special favourite after football grand finals. It came home to roost, though, and someone from the Penrith Office of whatever organisation I was working for at the time was very pleased to use up a roll of our paper in the early hours of the Monday following the 1991 NSWRFL grand final.

I just thought of something. We are all complaining about the time/resources wasted through junk…yet we are all here on RiotACT during business hours.

hmm

What’s with this ‘we’, sh!t, white man?!

I wouldn’t call posting on RiotACT wasting time. We’re all here contributing to the greater community. And hey, if you can get away with it, go for it!

HAHA, I love RiotACT dearly but come on.

I do feel bad for “time stealing” for a little while. But the feeling passes. I know it’s a bad attitude, and a terrible work ethic, but I do seem to sleep at night.
I think I’m getting off track from the topic here. But I do like the imagination behind some of the fax tricks. I might have to add them to my artillery and get some of the punks on 6th level.

Yeah, Matto. That’s a bit of a stretch. I don’t think you can do community service or be nominated for benefiting the community for Riot-ACTing!

My comment was based on the fact that I (mostly) Riot on my own time.

I would be doing it if I could find their fax number!

Someone has been trying to fax my phone number all day. I finally transferred the call to my fax and it turns out it was Global Rags. Grr.

And as we all know, faxes are persistent. They just keep trying. And if you have several of them…

Did this to a work colleague many years ago. There was a number of us working a bit late, he turned his horrible music up at his desk full blast, but every time his phone went, he had to turn it down to answer the phone. scrreeeeeeeee-etc. We had 4 fax machines on the floor.

Oh, we get those all the time too, I usually put them in the shredder…

Get the originating number, and sticky tape say, four pages of black paper together in a loop along the sort edge to create a everending fax, guzzling their toner or if they use a digital fax, chews up memory.

Obviously you people have never worked a night shift where you can plot your wrath and nurture an animus.

setting the fax to auto dial the number if cut off gets the point across too.

How many members are on RA? I’m sure the majority have access to a fax machine – Why don’t we all start faxing their own crap back to them for the next couple of weeks?

just send it on an old fax machine with the ends of the paper taped together. absolute gold.

If they provide an option to unsubscribe then I don’t have a problem with it.

The problem I find with fax spam is that they usually provide an option to get you off only ONE list at a time, but your number has been added to numerous individual lists which you won’t know about until the spam arrives.

fax spam? what is that?

we use GFI Faxmaker. kills spam before it gets through. have to ensure some clients mention their account code when faxing orders, but apart from that, it is all good.

I wanna know how they got my number – that really sh!ts me when you think someone has sold your informations…

After reading this thread I just checked the fax machine where I work in Fyshwick and sure enough, there it is.

If they provide an option to unsubscribe then I don’t have a problem with it.

You might be cranky with me but I think I might check it out. I do like bargain jeans.

I got a nice, warm fuzzy feeling as I placed their fax straight into the recycling bin this morning.

I wonder if they’d like it if I ring them 50 times and ask them if they have any jeans for sale? 🙂

Ahahaha – I got the global rags fax today too!!

I’m not going to go to despite them, how dare they loophole the system and waste my time!
