Fax trap goes snap

[bunn]

Just got my first ever fax spam. Why is this cause for rejoicing? Well, normal fax spam is annoying cos the spammer pays only 5p or less, and steals your ink and paper and machine to print his advert. Bastard.

But I don't have a fax machine. I have fax-to-email. So Mr F. Spammer didn't steal my ink or my paper. Instead, he paid 50p for the privilege of sending me an email via my premium rate fax number. Hah!

Excellent! Do you also get some of his 50p?

Alas, only as a general subsidy on my own out-bound faxes. Still, that is better than a slap with a wet fish.
