Recently I have been receiving several fax calls from random numbers. I actually don't receive the call, but I do have messages in my VoiceMail, 6 minutes of fax tones. Being on the "do not call" list does not seem to help. I block each number but others keep coming. Any ideas what is going on?
The number you have may have been used as a fax number previously.
Highly unlikely as I have had the same phone number for over 30 years.Quote:

That is possible I guess. Do FAXs need to abide by the DNC list?Quote:

It seems FAX calls are allowed to DNC numbers.
Is it possible my number got on some kind of list in retaliation since all unwanted calls I receive get sent to the "Disconnect" feature.
Are the numbers all from the same area code/prefix? (904) 623-xxxx ? or even 904-62x-xxx? Set up a block and send the calls to the disconnected, busy, or forward the calls to the Federal Trade Commission's fax line. :)
Finally figured it ot. All calls came from another service forwarding calls to my number. Glad that it stopped.
