I followed the article's suggestion about registering an online account with USPS to prevent someone from creating duplicate accounts for my name and address. However, as a test, I tried creating a second online account using my same name and mailing address -- and was successful just by using a different email address. I never received any warning notifications from USPS that a second account was created using my name and mailing address.
In this case, what's to prevent someone from registering an additional online account in my name and mailing address just by varying the email?
Am I not understanding correctly? Thank you for any help you can provide.
keeping money in the bank is just not a good idea . a judge could blindside you and freeze or seize your cash assets ( deliberately ) without a moments notice , or like in greece two years ago , withdrawals could be frozen or limited . i aint telling you where my small amount of money is but it isnt in one single place and it isnt all in the same form . if any of you like reading prepper books i can recommend a really great read . its called " beyond collapse " and its free to read online . it ventures beyond collapse and into the realm of restarting civilization from scratch . the first advice the author offers is ; you dont need to go nuts . just pick up an extra here and there . im guessing the author is an old military officer because most of his advice is standard military thought -- such as ; if you have to battle marauders , kill the wounded and relieve them of boots and hard to get things that you can use . you dont let him return to his base with info about your strengths / weaknesses . damm , i sound like a fanatic already but im not . society could get ugly and quick . biker types are confrontational , ghetto thugs make a lot of noise , but cool heads prevail .. thats the jist of it .. great book .. deceipt is everything .. you dont want people staying on in your settlement ; make it appear wasted , female screams and all , a couple burning cars , smashed storefronts , make em want to move on .. im ruining it , lol .. read the book !!
I can see a lot of this happening, however I can't see paying things online are that much safer with all the hackers out there. its a shame they don't get a job with the FBI or something like that where they can make lots of money doing stuff they like to do. Anyhow.......yes even though a PO Box at post office would be great but like someone said, if you have driving issues or weather issues that might prevent getting mail......well, there are pros and cons to everything I guess.
As for the post office box, that is great if the post office is just down the street, but when it becomes a 30 minute round trip, I would think twice about it. My parents had a post office box for over 40 years, and they would drive to the post office twice a day. They were retired so that was part of their routine.
Once my parents stopped driving, the task of getting their mail was put onto my shoulders, so after work I would drive to the post office thus 30 minutes x 6. Half the time there was just junk mail, and I was thinking this time spent I could be at my home doing much needed household chores.
Eventually I told my parents that just once a week I will go to the post office, and with that I had to carry a lot of guilt. They had a perfectly good mailbox at the end of their driveway, and they were in a very safe neighborhood with a lot of people at home, other retirees and young Mom with kids.
My parents were so private, you'd think they were part of the witness protection plan :P Ok, I admit, some of that is good if my parents could handle it on their own.
This is a very good article except I believe that a lot of people would not think of the mail box issue until they see it written down as above. If that person has larceny in their soul in the first place and they never had thought about stealing someone's identity before they might start doing it. Similarly to home grown terrorist who listen to the news. Or the news reporting on the pill parties people have and their hearts stop beating. After reading this article I will never but up my mailbox red flag again but will take my mail to the post office. Might even purchase a PO Box. Thanks for writing and posting.

Doing Things the Old-Fashioned Way Is Still Risky

Am I not understanding correctly? Thank you for any help you can provide.
if any of you like reading prepper books i can recommend a really great read . its called " beyond collapse " and its free to read online . it ventures beyond collapse and into the realm of restarting civilization from scratch . the first advice the author offers is ; you dont need to go nuts . just pick up an extra here and there . im guessing the author is an old military officer because most of his advice is standard military thought -- such as ; if you have to battle marauders , kill the wounded and relieve them of boots and hard to get things that you can use . you dont let him return to his base with info about your strengths / weaknesses .
damm , i sound like a fanatic already but im not . society could get ugly and quick .
biker types are confrontational , ghetto thugs make a lot of noise , but cool heads prevail .. thats the jist of it .. great book ..
deceipt is everything .. you dont want people staying on in your settlement ; make it appear wasted , female screams and all , a couple burning cars , smashed storefronts , make em want to move on ..
im ruining it , lol .. read the book !!
