American Blast Fax

See My Hot Leads for their latest incarnation of the company.

Famous fax broadcaster that people thought went out of business in 2002, but that is still sending out junk faxes in 2005 despite court rulings:

• 8-22-2001 Cornyn Announces Court Judgment Against Broadcast Fax Business
• Cowboys to pay for "junk fax" messages (December 4, 2001) 
  They sent 125,000 faxes and got off easy as part of a settlement agreement. Mr. Jensen said American Blast Fax -- the Dallas company hired by the Cowboys -- no longer sends fax messages to Texas phone numbers, but continues to operate outside the state. He said he has documentation that American Blast Fax has sent "at least 33 million confirmed fax ads," and added there are at least 400 other companies that profit by sending junk ads.

Notes:

• They basically default if you try to sue them
• Collecting large judgments against them has proven to be challenging; experienced plaintiffs suggest going after their customers
• Deposition of Krouse is on www.tcpalaw.com

Krouse (and friends) are now doing junk faxing as: My Hot Leads
