My dad used to receive a lot of misdirected faxes.

His solution was to send a return fax with disorderly handwriting begging and pleading for them to fax someone else.

The other person stopped faxing him.

I was using a virtual fax service so a digital equivalent would have been easy. Not sure if I was creative enough to invert the colors before sending my response. Really I just wanted the noise to stop.
