Call the main number, get ahold of someone near the fax machine to
accept the call on the fax machine.  Then, ring on voice on the fax
machine to the other fax machine.  Spammer scum and soon to be victim
answers the call on voice as instructed, accepts the charges, and gets
the fax ready to recieve.  As soon as they turn it over to the fax
machine, you hit send, and bam, they're paying for thier own abuse
until someone comes by and notices it.  Bonus points if the loop you
make isn't a blank one, but rather has some business documents or fax
memos; they don't have to be real, they just can't look bogus on a
glance check.  If the fax machine looks like it's just blowing out
blank paper, they'll shut it off or hang up to figure out what's
wrong, but if it looks like something important at first, that could
buy you a lot of time.

Normally this type of thing would be a stretch, but you gotta
remember, spammers are the dumbest things on the planet.
