Got our first fax spam today

No spam 

We just got fax spam entitled, "Stock Alert: XXXX* Brand Awareness".  (I replaced the company name with XXXX, just for good measure.)

Unfortunately, thinking I'd accidentally printed a picture I was looking at, I pressed Cancel before it finished, not realizing it was a fax (ringer on silent for that line).

I get fax spam sometimes at work, but this is our home phone line.  It's only ever answered by our fax, since we use our mobiles for incoming voice calls.

Guess we'll have to get on the Do Not Call list, but it'll be interesting to see if this starts to happen more now that one company has made a successful (they found the listening fax on our line) connection.

Update: 2005.04.13

Well, it may be that we ended up on some list; we received our 2nd fax spam today.
