Fax-based Marketing in 2011?

In the last few days, the same number tried to fax us some ad material. I said tried because those idiots used our phone number. We don’t even have a fax number BTW.

I identified the company behind the source number (a simple Google search was enough) and sent them a vitriolic email, just to have some fun on them. They’re not into IT obviously.

I wonder how small businesses can still base their spam campaign on faxes. Isn’t spam supposed to be an unwanted email message? Is this some kind of backporting of spam to older technologies?

Update: the morons tried to send the fax two more times overnight. Idiots2.
