junkfaxes.org – Helping to Stop Illicit Junk Faxes “The transmission of unsolicited faxed advertisements has been illegal under U.S. Federal
law since 1991. In addition, many state laws also prohibit the practice.

The reason? It’s theft. Honest advertisers pay to get their message in front of prospective
customers. Junk faxers steal the resources of the recipients… fax paper, ink, personnel
costs, and the time that their equipment is tied up receiving ads instead of being available
for legitimate purposes.

… This web site has been established to disseminate information on various junk fax senders
as an aid to the recipients who wish to enforce the law by pursuing the remedies under
applicable state and federal laws, as well as the growing number of states’ attorney
generals and other government agencies who are stepping up enforcement efforts.”
