I swear, if I had any solid BLACK paper I would fax it to the number supplied. Meanwhile, just a head's up that this bunch is also doing the very same thing via telephone.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this, I thought it was a scam that came over my FAX as above from Judy Collins, I'm thinking the singer?! But I went to school in Princeton, so I almost bit.
ReplyDeleteGot this fax today. Came to this site because I suspected as much. I can't stand that these people stole my paper and ink.
ReplyDeleteUse guerillamail.com and faxzero.com to send these idiots back a bunch of junk they deserve. These are free services that won't cost you a dime and will keep your real identity safe from these scammers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they have an electronic fax service, and use OCR to input data they receive. So faxing black paper won't do much good.
ReplyDeleteI got this one today... no Princeton on it, but the same general message.
ReplyDeleteRec'd one also - From Jennifer Crowley - same fax # - 2/23/10 2:10pm
ReplyDeleteJust got one from Jennifer Crowley. I am an attorney, so they obvioulsy don't worry too much about reprecussions.
