    Even better...(when faxing to someone)...fax a black piece of construction paper. I wonder how much toner would be left in their fax machine after just one page?

    What people have to remember is the business in question is Sears...and they do business practically [any/every]where. Because of that, the victim was able to take advantage of that. The question is how to take advantage of this type of creativity. Just because people think they're getting their spam from .kr doesn't mean 1) it's actually from there (it could be an open relay/proxy); 2) the machine may be overseas but the spammer is here, running the machine remotely. What's interesting is to fill in a mortgage form with a spare phone line at work (which won't be used for a long time to come) and use a non-existent name. It won't take long before you'll get phone calls - but from people near you - the spammer is nothing more than cataloguing the information and making available for purchase to those by geography. When they call and ask for the person who doesn't exist, it will baffle them to no end. After four or five of these, you'll get a phone call from someone with a very *demanding* tone just dying to know what's going on but afraid to be too rude as to lose a contact.
