[QUOTE="Virginian, post: 4835650, member: 27579"]Not aware of any law that says that you have a legal obligation to do anything with mail whuich was lawfully delivered to you at your address and that you did not request. Pretty sure you can just toss it in the trash. Maybe you can find a federal statute on that and let us know. But I AM sure I did not recommend that, either. So roll your eyes all you want. Here is the statute . . . decide for yourself: 18 U.S.C. 1725 states: "[I]Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, in any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined under this title[/I]" Postage has been paid . . . but also canceled by the postage stamp. Pretty sure no one would prosecute anyone for this anyway. There is this: [URL]https://www.wikihow.com/Return-to-Sender[/URL] I marked Beardigger's post as "Best Answer." And I stand by that. I'm not tampering with the inside of anyone else's mailbox without their explicit authorization. YMMV.[/QUOTE]
