junk fax from ameritoner on 2/27/08

Received unsolicited junk fax...although we try to protect our number which is fairly new, receiving more junk faxes...calls to remove the number is accepted but feel they are just confirming a good fax number and then using shell companies to move the sending to another portal...Anyone have any ideas on how to reduce and complain?

  RE: EB-06-TC-131

  Dear Mr. David:

  This is an official CITATION, issued pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the
  Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), 47 U.S.C. S 503(b)(5),
  for violations of the Act and the Federal Communications Commission's
  rules that govern telephone solicitations and unsolicited advertisements.
  As explained below, future violations of the Act or Commission's rules in
  this regard may subject you and your company to monetary forfeitures.

  It has come to our attention that your company, acting under your
  direction, apparently sent one or more unsolicited advertisements to
  telephone facsimile machines in violation of Section 227(b)(1)(C) of the
  Communications Act, as described in the attached complaint(s).   Section
  227(b)(1)(C) makes it "unlawful for any person within the United States,
  or any person outside the United States if the recipient is within the
  United States . . . to use a telephone facsimile machine, computer, or
  other device to send an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile
  machine."  The term "unsolicited advertisement" is defined in the Act and
  the Commission's rules as "any material advertising the commercial
  availability or quality of any property, goods, or services which is
  transmitted to any person without that person's prior express invitation
  or permission." Under Commission rules and orders currently in effect, the
  Commission considers an established business relationship between a fax
  sender and recipient to constitute prior express invitation or permission
  to send a facsimile advertisement. Mere distribution or publication of a
  fax number, however, does not establish consent to receive advertisements
  by fax.

  If, after receipt of this citation, you or your company violate the
  Communications Act or the Commission's rules in any manner described
  herein, the Commission may impose monetary forfeitures not to exceed
  $11,000 for each such violation or each day of a continuing violation.

  You may respond to this citation within 30 days from the date of this
  letter either through (1) a personal interview at the Commission's Field
  Office nearest to your place of business, (2) a written statement, or (3)
  a teleconference interview with the Commission's Telecommunications
  Consumers Division in Washington, DC. Your response should specify the
  actions that you are taking to ensure that you do not violate the
  Commission's rules governing telephone solicitation and unsolicited
  advertisements, as described above.

  The nearest Commission field office appears to be the  Chicago Office,
  Chicago, Illinois; however, please contact Al McCloud at (202) 418-2499 if
  you wish to schedule a personal interview. You should schedule any
  interview to take place within 30 days of the date of this letter. You
  should send any written statement within 30 days of the date of this
  letter to:

  Kurt A. Schroeder

  Deputy Chief

  Telecommunications Consumers Division

  Enforcement Bureau

  Federal Communications Commission

  445-12^th Street, S.W., Rm. 4-C222

  Washington, D.C. 20554

  Reference EB-06-TC-127  when corresponding with the Commission.

I also received the same. Ameritoner doesn't have anything but a sales line. I spoke to "Marie" and when I tried to get more from her than an "I'll take down your fax number to remove from the list" I ended up getting hung up on. Their fax number on the machine was 888-217-2819.

unsolicited fax received 2/08

Unsolicited ad  from Ameritoner faxed to me today, 3/5/08. I will submit the usual complaints to FCC and BBB. No wonder they are selling toner given the amount of ink this fax used!
