Thre was a story several years back about a company that got into trouble when they solicited a municipality to place a second mortgage on one of their office builidings.

I just toss it all into the shredder each night. I've already worn out one.

I keep meaning to buy one of those. As it is I rip everything up and then toss it into the same bag with all of the used cat litter. Not many will dig through that stuff. Chris

I think it causes more harm to the postal service than us consumers. Just think of the volume of trash mail they handle each day. Your first class letter might get there alot faster if this crap didnt get in the way.

Your first class letter might cost alot more to send if this crap wasn't there. I believe junk mail is a pretty large revenue source for the post office. Annoying as all get out though, to be sure. I think I'd be willing to accept higher postage rates if they dropped unsolicited/bulk mailings.

Between the refinance offers, credit card offers, and car loans, I get around 20-30 pieces a week. Makes me crazy. Funny thing is, none of these people would actually want to follow through with me right now. My credit is terrible. Ah, well. It's good for lighting fires when I have a burn pile....

Atleast half of the junk I get comes with a postage pre-paid return envelope. I stuff it with OTHER junk, such as a local pizza coupon, leaves, a used Kleenex, a picture my kid drew, or if I am feeling evil, a nice picture printed off the net from a porn site. Then I drop it in the mailbox.
It never gets old.

I have no idea why the F., the B., and the I. completely ignore these fraudsters.

I don't think there's a way to stop the Junk. Fortunately, there's a way to have fun with it!

I send the occasional penny, a paperclip, their junk from their envelope (minus anything with my name), or the junk mail from a different company. My favorite is to just send the kids through the house a have them find something to put in the envelopes. My five year loves playing post office.
