Self righteous? Nope, just using street smarts daddio. P.O. boxes are typically used by individuals perpetrating scams. If you want to be precise, you weren't scammed by the guy since he paid for the decals. What he did afterward sucked; but, that is beyond your control. We do not have street addresses here, they did give us what they cal 911 address but UPS. FedEx and USPS say the addresses do not exist. So it is REALLY frustrating when companies will not sell to you and statements that make it seem like every PO Box user is some scammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Much respect for putting it down as it is. Scammers need to be called out and dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Stopped by the Post Office they can’t do anything and it turned into local law office but with the border in between there is little they can do. Not even sure if his addy is a legit addy at this point!! would like to see him blocked from the site as he’s obviously hosing people but he still comes on and is allowed to troll through here like it’s no big deal... Him along with SBM!!!! Anybody in Winnipeg??? Edited December 1, 2017 by DrKerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't have a dog in whatever fight is going on, I do have a dog in the fight about the accusations that PO Boxes are typically used by scammers. Unlike a couple others that have posted that their ONLY option to receive mail or packages are PO Boxes, I DO have a street address AND a PO Box. WHY??? I prefer my packages to be delivered where I KNOW THEY WILL BE SAFE AND NOT SPROUT LEGS AND WALK AWAY!! If you didn't know, those boxes cost money to have, and I pay $76 a year for the small insurance to know my packages will be safe until I pick them up and not sitting out in the weather to get rained or snowed on if I'm not home when they are delivered, because I have much more to do in life than sit around and wait for the mailman to knock on my door.

southpier Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 mine costs about the same and since it's a central post office, I get UPS, FedX and any other packages. usually the packages are put in a locker and the key tossed into my PO Box. and the lobby/ box access is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. for less than $99 dollars a year, I consider it a bargain.

P.O. boxes cost money.....no kidding. Of course I know. I don't live on Tobacco Road. Check the statistics on mail fraud. P.O. boxes are typically used as drop-offs by and for con artists and other species of scammers. I don't need to worry about when a package is delivered, wait at home for the mail carrier to arrive or if my stuff was dumped on the stoop so some skell can get a five finger discount. The carriers here won't/can't do that, especially if a signature is required. Besides, the lobby man in my building accepts all incoming parcels and secures them in a package cage until a tenant stops by the front desk to retrieve their items. Despite all of the wisecracks made about NYC, it sure is swell to live in a place where civilization, and all of the expected services, exist.

bobthehobbyguy Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hey you can keep the rat race,. I rather be able to breath air and not car exhaust. And btw people who think they can't be taken usually get taken in a spectacular fashion. I would rather have my trust and compassion for others than think everyone is out to steal from me.

Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
