The most innovative and amusing (and likely very successful) "stop faxing me" 
message I have ever seen was a reply fax that read "Please note that whilst 
we are prepared to accept unsolicited faxes we charge $15.00 handling fee to 
defer the costs associated with them.  Please accept this fax as notice of 
our terms.  Should we recieve any further faxes originating from you or an 
agent acting on your behalf, we will take that as acceptance of the above 
terms, and issue an appropriate invoice and enforce it through collections.  
A copy of this communication together with the associated fax has been placed 
on our litigation file for future reference."
 
Excellent, don't you think?  any spammer who contacts them twice is billed 
for it and cant' get out of paying the bill because contating them again is 
accepting their terms.
 
Impressive.
