[QUOTE="charley, post: 7951194, member: 5372"]I know it doesn't really matter, and is of no earth shaking importance, but my opinion is opposite the many posted, and I know my opinion is in the minority, but I would not have accepted the mail and would have written Return To Sender. There is something not quite correct about the mailings and/or purpose, and has a slight nefarious appearance. I question is it part of a scheme in the making, and I question asking a member to secure another member's address by request and then forward same electronically to the "sender". Electronically, because it is a fictitious return address, and there is no telephone or cell phone number. It borders on solicitation by suggesting a "prize" or a chance to "win" something..... a solicitation, or an entry of eligibility for some "game", or some cash. I don't consider this a fun pastime, or acceptable practice. Why would a person do this, and give away money, knowing that there is a chance that the mail would be returned, but since it can't really be returned, would become the property of the USPS? What if a member complained to the Postmaster General, and, given the unrest in the world, was concerned the envelope contained a possible virus/germ/poison, etc.? If the Postmaster General orders an investigation, the anonymous sender may have violated 18 US Code 1341 and 1342. Why would this "mystery" not be of concern to the Moderators? Think for a moment: a few members receive substantial cash amounts in the mail, unsolicited. the sender is depending on the nature of a human to keep it, whether via greed, or need or pay it forward. The recipient then shares this fortunate free money story on a forum, and persons begin hoping they are also going to receive something, and voluntarily give their personal information to another member for forwarding to the sender. A question: would any member here that is a parent allow their child to be a part of this supposedly innocent benevolence? The zip code, while legitimate, and as many have mentioned was connected to SETI, is also the zip code for Ft. Buchanan. The sender implies a possible stamp connection, but not what one would expect. it is more related to a certain pastime developed by Aurelian Debat. The sender is either well read, with the Voltaire equivalent of the attribution of punishment, and/or was in the Navy since the word beatings was not used, or possibly read All Hands, back in the 60s. The point is, it is a silly wild goose chase and I wonder if the purpose is not quite what members may think.[/QUOTE]
