That was a good one, I never thought of that before :laughing:

I have heard, although I can not verify it, that there is a limit on the amount of postage that the pre-paid envelopes are good for.

LaserFreak · Oct 11, 2005

That's good...but is it REALLY that annoying and space consuming to throw out an envelope?

JimH · Oct 11, 2005

Good one :laughing:. I've already forwarded this to about fifty people.

I routinely take these envelopes, fill them will whatever small amount of garbage will fit, and send them back to the spammer.

Excellent! I always though those postage-paid return envelopes were only good for returning something that fit in the envelope. I never knew you could attach them to a package. It's time to clean out the garage. :devil:

Maybe I'll send some of the more persistent spammers a box of used kitty litter. :green:

We used to glue them to bricks.

cobb · Oct 11, 2005

Ive done that before. I just use a regular brick and swap it with the clear packing tape to the envelope.

Another fun thing is to fill out the address fields with quasi false addresses. 123 mainstreet, 1600 pensylviana ave, etc.

this is GREAT!!!

I get extremely anoyed at mail spammers because you cannot dump directly into trash.

first you've got to spend time to shred or cut-off your personal info to prevent ID theft.

this is theft of my time.

Back in my US Army days, a friend of mine attached one of the prepaid post cards to a lead brick and mailed it back!!! They had to pay by the ounce ....for that 30+ pound brick. By the way, we were working in a nuclear power plant and had tons of lead bricks.

greenLED · Oct 11, 2005

so this really is a legal thing to do?
:laughing:

Any ideas for the email spammers?

Trashman · Oct 11, 2005

Are the spammers charged extra for the extra weight being returned?

No sweat...just disassemble the engine and send it "one piece at a time"!!!!! Send the camshaft one day...oil pan another day...a few rods another day...see if they can put it all back together! Classic!!!
