My way of getting back at "The Man"-What do you think?

    I read a little while back about taking postage paid envelopes of junk mailers and sending them back filled with other junk mail...

    I had an extremely wicked idea-

    I have a scanner, and a whole stack of envelopes. I can make a very good reproduction of the face of their envelope, and print my own.

    Now, not only do I get to waste their employees time (and employee time=company's money), now I can waste their postage as well!

    As long as I don't mail them from my house, and distribute them through different public drop boxes, I shouldn't get caught.

    What do you think? Is it worth the risk?

    Captain, I once had a science fiction book which told a story of a planet which was completely overbuilt with a sort of planet-wide "new york city"...no grass, no trees, not even central park.

    The hero was looking for work, and found a job in the refuse disposal department.

    It turned out that there was a vast overload of TV dinner trays and discarded phone books. (Yes, this was a few years back)

    Our hero solved the problem by programming his robot assistants to take the phone book, look up an address at random, and then slap two TV dinner trays around the phone book, duct tape it together, and mail it to the random address.

    He was quickly recognized as a hero of society and the new environmental savior of humanity.

    So, who says Recycling cannot solve our problems?

    I wouldn't venture into actually making fake copies. I did hear the idea once that you should take the letter and tape it to a brick, that way they have to pay postage on it. I'm sure that's bogus, but it sounds fun.

    I would not recommend it as it is most certainly illegal.

    Sounds Great !

    Just don't get caught, in the US postal fraud of that nature has a penalty of $10,000.00, 10 yrs in federal prison or both.
    I worked for US Postal service for 10 yrs and they don't take to kindly to that.
    In this case it would be using their return envelopes.

    But I think it's a great idea, I'm personally tired of having pay to throw their trash away.
    I've thought of the same idea, just didn't think of using their own envelopes. LOL

    Damn straight. I do it to everybody but charities.

    Bank wants me to increase my credit card limit? They can have these pizza vouchers. Phone company wants me to upgrade my new phone? They can see this thing about tsunami charities.
