Removing your number from the list is really a 'confirmation' that your number exists.  There is no motivation for the sender to stop.  This isn't new spam, but it is persistent.  Called my telephone company a year ago about the annoyance.  I still get calls.  Hopefully, this fall, when the new "do not call" database is in place for the nation, junk like this will stop.

Looking for a device that blocks Fax signals.  I spoke to the spy store here, and they said there are several fax signals now.  Not one device will kill faxes, but there is a device that will block all calls unless you put in a pass number.  I figure this would only serve a person who only has friends/relatives calling that line.  No outside calls without pass number will get thru.Also, had one spam fax call ring thru my phone at 3am on a Sunday.  My phone has a 'Night Mode' where it won't ring, but I know that police and emergency can turn it on with their 'special ringer'.  Well, that's exactly what this spam fax did.  it made my phone ring - Even though I have a night mode.  So I turned the ringer completely off upstairs.  That's the only thing that works.NIce huh?  They get the technology before we can.

Received 12 calls from (416) 847-1150 on a regular phone line.These people are totally obnoxious.

I tried During business hours all i got was a beep sound .I tried this during non business hours (like 11pm)and then i hear an IVR . I followed all the steps given above 00000 and then the phone number. and I got the confirmation telling that my number will be removed.. within minutes and I got a call, and i keep on getting calls as i am typing this. ... I guess it probably takes a lil time to be removed..

spam them back, go to this site:http://www.douglaspublications.com/contacts.aspand hit their contacts with as many emails as you all can.  See how they like it back!

Pure harrassment.  Impossible to stop.My parents nad I have been receiving calls/fax attempts from this number at all hours.  They are in their 80's and are terribly inconvenienced by this - do not even have a fax, and when they finaly get to the phone just get a series of beep beeps, like someone is trying to fax to them.All attempts to call/fax them have failed. The phone company has failed to be of any help to stop it.
