The problem I have is that I am unable to trace the senders. Every effort
has failed.
This is my home phone, is unlisted, and has call blocking.
Most all of the problem faxes are those that tout some stock or other. But I
doubt I could sue the stock company, as there is no evidence that they are
behind this.
You gotta know who to sue in order to go to Court.
