They don't care, they just want something to track you by. As long as you give them the same info every time their tracking system works and they're happy.

Scammers usually didn't use Postage-Paid-Reply envelopes, too easy to track them down.. Some junk mail groups, oh yes.

Too bad we can't do the same thing by email.

Receiver paid overnight courier bags to just mail the *taxes due for $27 billion deposit* as cash?

Humm that is an idea

Man after my own heart. Mine returns were rusty old nails, washers & bolts, padded by whatever paper crap they'd provide minus the identifying bits. I hope there were many thousands of us but I doubt it.

well just because it is a scam morally don't make it one in the legal sense. For it to be illegal when you send money you get nothing for it or it is bait and switch. Direct tv is a scam imo because they say 19.99 a month. But after fees taxes and more fees it is 70+ per month.

Im talking more along the lines of supposed charities that pocket 90% of the money Or my fav was a abortion clinic trying to get donations under the guise of a pregnancy center. I used their postage paid to send them a cinder block with the wholes filled with cement also. I figured out the cost of mailing the sucker and even back then it was like 30 bucks lol

Oh jap there was a entire forum that use to exist dedicated to the practice lol That and data fuzzing by emailing bank scammers fake info and filling in fake log in info on phising sites etc. They had a photo thread for people to post the most ridiculous items mailed to junk mail spammers. One guy mailed 50 pounds of lead others were like ten pounds of dog poop mixed with fish guts. All sorts of whacked stuff lol. Now any thing mailed has to fit in the envelope. But a letter sized 1/8 sheet of lead is still around 1 pound plus. So not as effective today as it was 15 years ago give or take but still yeh 1k people mail 1 pound lead sheets to junk mail clearing houses in buis reply it will sting a little.

hmm, maybe I'm not as strange as I ...
I know a lot of people wanted to but didn't for a lot of good reasons but I laughed for a week about it.
American Express received a 17.5" x 11" x 10" carton that previously held 10 reams of white #20 bond paper.
Nothing toxic or disgusting, just office trash with a few items added for extra weight.
Post office even picked it up from the office with the 'regular' mail

Yeh postal carriers use to get a kick out of my bricks. Best your gona be able to do now is a letter sized 1/8 inch sheet of lead etc. It has to fit in the envelope now else they wont accept it.

The heaviest i heard about was like 250 pounds of rocks or some such. That was decades ago though. I know after mailing out around 8 or 10 regular bricks the amount of junk mail that we got at my house went way way down i wonder if i got black listed lol
