Are eFax accounts being used for spam?

SUMMARY: No summary available.
Is it spam when somebody sends a unasked for commercial message to your eFax account??? eFax, once a favored investment of the UK's Prince Charles, has been sending a new unsolicited commercial message to me, from people who obviously rented their list, about once a week for the past few months. The latest installment duplicated the look of an old Rhode Island newspaper, but strangely all stories on its' front page all seemed to recommend the same hardly-known stock. Hey, even if there are a few old ladies and pensioners who are naive enough to be taken in by a scam like this, what are the chances that they would also be savvy enough to have an eFax account instead of a fax machine?
