In the USA unsolicited marketing is not permissible by fax transmission, 
and violations of it will incur a $500 fine per-violation if the 
affected party presses matters legally.  In the event that the violator 
did so in bulk then federal courts have permitted class-action suits, 
and in such cases the collective fines become extremely large.

Thanks,

Lee.
