Junk faxes are unsolicited advertisements sent to your fax machine. These unsolicited ads may violate federal law.

FCC Issues Rules for Fax Advertisements.

Without proper consent, fax broadcasting can be illegal and intrusive. Some privacy laws regulating faxes include the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Junk Fax Prevention Act (JFPA). These privacy laws prohibit businesses from sending unsolicited faxes. Similarly, email marketing has anti-spam laws.

The only real defense for the sender is that the transmission was protected by the EBR exception created by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005. To qualify the sender: must already have an EBR with the recipient; must have received the recipient's fax number voluntarily from the recipient in the context of the EBR; and.

Federal law requires that unsolicited fax advertisements must include a free way to opt out of future faxes– such as a toll-free number, local phone number, website or email address. These contact methods must be available 24/7. In your opt-out request, include your fax machine phone number.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), a federal law, prohibits the transmission of unsolicited faxes in most circumstances.In addition, the federal Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005 prohibits using a fax machine or computer to send unsolicited faxes.
