My desk phone at work has automatic inbound fax detection and reception. And one of the local medical firms has a phone number with a prefix that is one digit off from my desk phone direct line. You can guess what happens.

It's kind of amazing what kinds of things they will put in a fax. Stuff I would find very personal, for sure, and wouldn't want to have faxed around carelessly.

Inbound fax detection is pretty easy to script, I've gotten lots of sensitive faxes from insurers despite emailing them to cease and desist faxing me. Very annoying!
