INTRODUCTION :

After several years of giving, almost daily, to various charity organizations, an individual (who shall be called 'Individual One') was put on many mailing lists --- and eventually that person got requests for money from *WAY* more organizations than the many ones to which that person gave money.

For example, say one gives to one charity that provides medical services world-wide to people who have vision problems, such as cataracts. Within a month or two after giving to that 'help for the vision-impaired' organization, one starts receiving requests from other such organizations --- eventually getting requests from about 5 different such vision-aid organizations.

Second example: One gives to one charity that provides financial aid to students at a college for American Indians. Within a month or two after giving to that 'help for American Indians' organization, one starts receiving requests from other such American Indian education-aid organizations --- eventually getting requests from at least 4 different such organizations.

Example three: One gives to one charity that provides aid to abused animals such as horses or dogs. Within a month or two after giving to that 'help for horses' (or dogs) organization, one starts receiving requests from other such horse-aid (or dog-aid) organizations --- eventually getting requests from about 4 or 5 (or more) different such animal-aid organizations.

    I guess one can be thankful that one does not receive requests for aid-to-abused-cockroaches or aid-to-abused-earthworms or aid-to-abused-one-celled-animals --- but that is probably coming someday --- if someone figures a way to get people to give money to 'the cause'. Aid to furry mammals seems to be the popular way to go.

What is particularly annoying is that some organizations keep sending requests approximately monthly --- and some even more often.

And, the case of 'Individual One' is particularly annoying because 'Individual One' died in January 2017 --- and the requests for money continue --- multiple, month-after-month requests from many of the organizations. (The mail for this individual is being forwarded to an 'estate' address, so that important mail such as utility bills and insurance bills and medical bills and end-of-life bills can be addressed.)

Many 'non-profit' organizations send requests to the same person month-after-month-after-month. They do NOT restrict themselves to one or two requests annually --- AND THEY SHOULD.

A HOPE FOR 'MAIL REFORM' :

To help keep track of which organizations are 'blitzing' a (dead) 'giver' with requests for money, I started this web page to keep track.

It is my hope that data like this may someday be used to devise some sort of 'do not mail' system, like the National 'Do Not Call' registry system.

For example, one solution might be to allow for registering the fact that a person does not want to receive mail of a certain mass-mailing class, such as 'Non-Profit Organization' mail --- or a new category of mail, such as a 'Pushed-not-Pulled Request for Money' category of mail --- in other words a 'Forced-onto-people-without-prior-permission' mail category.

    If they are going to send 'unsolicited' money-requests, they should be required to offer a 'can-we-continue' checkbox on money-request forms --- with 'metered' return-envelopes required, so that the 'victim' does not have to pay to say 'do not continue'.

At the very least, the mailing costs for 'Non Profit Org' mail should be increased to make it less appealing to 'bombard' individuals with requests for money.

If you look up the way that the U.S. Post Office charges for bulk mail, you will find that the formula(s) are multiple and complex, but the end result is that bulk mailers are paying about 12 cents (or less) per envelope whereas the postage stamps for 'general' mail are about 48 cents per envelope --- about 4 times more. (This is in 2017.)

'The law' should set, for bulk mail, a minimum of 50 percent of the 'general' mailing cost. In 2017, a cost of about 24 cents per envelope in bulk mail would probably make bulk mailers think twice about sending month-after-month or week-after-week bulk mailings for their client organization(s).

Currently, it seems that bulk mailers do not care about whether they are sending out 'duplicate' (recently sent) requests --- or frequent requests to dead people --- even after being notified that they are dead.

In the cases of extreme 'mail abuse', the 'non-profit' organizations (and their titular heads) should become subject to tax-exempt status review (and personal tax review) by the national and state tax authorities.


DATA COLLECTED :

The data that is collected below includes date(s)-of-receipt --- along with some other features of the mailed money-request --- along with the organization name.

The 'return address' on the enclosed 'return envelope' is recorded for each organization. This is usually a Post Office Box --- and it seems that it is usually the PO Box of a 'bulk mailing' contractor.

Some additional information is collected --- such as web address, phone numbers, and alternative mailing addresses such as street addresses --- if these data-nuggets are available in the various paperwork items included with the money request.


ORGANIZATION OF THIS PAGE :

I considered organizing the organization-names (and their 'requests-for-money' mail-data) in 'subject' categories, but I decided that it would be difficult to decide what 'subject' categories to use --- and, it would become difficult, for any given requesting organization, to decide in which 'subject' category to list the organization with its request-dates.

For example, should 'vision-help' organization requests go into a 'Medical' category section of this page --- or a 'Vision' category section --- or a 'Blind' category section?

And should 'American-Indian-help' organization requests go into an 'Education' category section of this page --- or an 'American Indian' category section --- or a 'Colleges' category section?

Since this page will get very long, with many hundreds of lines corresponding to requests received, I decided it may become difficult to remember into which 'subject' category (page-section) I should enter a new request for money.

I decided to keep the page-sections in alphabetical order by name of the organization. For example, 'American Cancer Society' organization requests go in an 'A' section --- and 'St. Joseph's Indian School' organization requests should go in an 'S' section.

---

The following 'Table of Contents' (the alphabet) can be used to quickly to go to 'alphabet-sections' on this page.

Within each 'alphabet-section', there are sections corresponding to 'organization name' --- and in those 'organization' sections are lists of dates, when requests for money were received.

    In some cases, the mail was delivered when the recipient was out of town. In those cases, an approximate receipt-date is given --- indicated by a 'twiddle' (tilde) character. Example: 2017mar10~, instead of 2017mar10 --- for mail received sometime between 2017mar05 and 2017mar16, say.

In each 'organization name' section, there may be a 'WEB SEARCH' link that provides a web search on the name of the organization --- and a web search on the name of an officer in the organization.

These web searches are meant to help check whether the organization may be a 'scam' --- or at least a known 'client abuser'.

In fact, after clicking on a 'WEB SEARCH' link, the search can be 'enhanced' by adding keywords such as 'scam' or 'complaint'.


RETURN ENVELOPE -- 'METERED' OR 'STAMP-REQUIRED' :

Each 'organization-section' is tagged 'meter' (or 'metered') or 'stamp' (or 'stamp-reqd') to indicate whether 'they' include a return envelope that is metered --- or an envelope that requires a stamp be added.

    The word 'they' represents either the 'nominal' organization OR the bulk-mail-contractor that is handling the packaging of the money-requests for the organization.

If the return-envelope is metered, that facilitates a reply to ask to be taken off of their mailing list(s). They --- the organization or their bulk mailing contractor --- may not do so, but at least the request is free if a metered-mail envelope can be used.

    (Actually, it is NOT free, because we taxpayers are subsidizing all this junk mail --- thanks to Republicans and others in Congress who pass laws, and amendments to laws, that promote the 'free enterprise' of blitzing people with repeated requests --- and scams --- for money.)

I keep track of number of times (dates) that requests were sent --- via metered mail --- to be taken off of an organization's mailing list --- because the named recipient is deceased.

I do this with a 'SENT DECEASED NOTE:' paragraph in each 'metered'-organization section of this page.


A SAMPLE 'DECEASED NOTE'

After some weeks of sending various 'deceased' notices in 'metered' return envelopes, it became clear that several REMOVE-and-STOP topics need to be addressed.

In a typical 'deceased note' to a money requester, one should say:

    1) REMOVE the name-address from your mailing lists.

This also implies:

    2) STOP sending money requests to this individual.

    3) STOP 'renting' / 'exchanging' / 'sharing' the name-address to/with other money-requesting organizations.

In order to reduce the amount of writing to add to each return-mail enclosure, a one-page 'REMOVE-and-STOP' page could be returned in each envelope.

Here is a sample PDF version and a sample plain-text version.

These sample pages have 4 'blank-areas' that can be filled in, for

  • 'victim' ('addressee') name

  • approx. number of MONEY-REQUESTS-RECEIVED-PER-YEAR

  • approx. MAXIMUM number of MONEY-REQUESTS-RECEIVED IN A DAY

  • approx. NUMBER OF MONEY-REQUESTERS sending requests per year

These sample pages could be changed to fit the situation of a particular 'victim' --- or make changes as the situation changes.

    Note that the plain-text version could be pasted into a word-processor program window and edited as desired --- then printed from the word-processor.


PHONE NUMBER INSTEAD OF RETURN ENVELOPE :

Note that some organizations do not include a return envelope --- neither metered nor requiring a stamp. They usually supply a phone number to call.

These are usually definite scams --- often of our Medicare system, driving up costs and gaming that system. Example: "Call us for a free back brace. We will submit the paperwork to Medicare for you."

I warn against calling their phone-number, because they will probably capture your phone number and abuse it (or sell it to other scammers), and then you will be inundated with phone calls as well as mail.

    In fact, you may want to refrain from calling any of the contact phone numbers on this page --- because your calling phone number may be recorded and abused.

I may indicate organizations that are probable scams with a 'scam?' note in one of the paragraphs for that organization.

    By the way, Edward Snowden did us the favor of revealing that the NSA (National Security Agency) is monitoring essentially all phone calls --- of about 300 million Americans. So the NSA probably has a good idea where phone-scammers are in the USA --- and abroad.

    The NSA has the ability to clamp down on scammers (or at least report abuses to other agencies, such as Medicare) --- but the NSA seemingly chooses not to do so.

    The NSA could do a lot more good for the country by using their information to put people who are scamming our government agencies, like Medicare, in 'corn-holio' prison.

    Furthermore, besides the potential to monitor phone-based-scam-and-spam, it has been reported that the NSA stores the information from USPS 'mail cover' scans --- especially since the Patriot Act of 2001.

    Hence, the NSA probably could get a good handle on the 'processing centers' that are generating weekly/monthly 'physical mail' to individuals. Thus the NSA could reduce the millions (?) of tons of useless paperwork --- such as return-address labels for dead people --- that get thrown into trash cans every year --- much of it probably unrecycled.


REDUCING THE MAIL DELUGE
(and catching-and-neutering scammers)

I believe there should be some sort of 'Do Not Mail' facility of the U.S. government --- like the 'Do Not Call' list. (Unfortunately, Republican congress-people keep enacting more and more exceptions to that 'Do Not Call' list, making it almost ineffective now.)

Certain classes of organizations ('non-profit' and 'for-profit') --- specifically, organizations that are NOT family, and NOT family-friends, and NOT utility/financial/health-care organizations currently serving the recipient, with the recipient's approval --- should be required to honor a 'Do Not Mail' database, by NOT sending mail to those 'first-name,last-name,address' entries that are in the database.

The data on this web page could be used to gather information to petition Congress or various government agencies to clamp down on the 'blitzing' of citizens with frequent requests/demands for money --- especially requests/demands that appear to be scams.

For example, the appropriate agency should clamp down on those scammers that try to pose as a charitable organization --- AND those that imply that they are an agency of the federal government or imply that they are approved by such an agency (by quoting U.S. statutes -- or by using statute-like jargon/warnings -- or by using names that sound like government agencies -- or by using titles that make them sound like they are government officers).

For another example, the appropriate agency should clamp down on organizations (and their bulk-mail contractors) who send more than 2 money-requests per year to any individual --- without getting an 'opt-in' for further mailings.

The 'offending' organization should be reported to the FBI, Congress, the Commerce Department, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or other government organizations --- such as the Consumer Protection Bureau --- that is, if such procedures can survive a Republican Congress and a Republican President (who seem to think that unsolicited mail is 'free enterprise' and thus sacred).


NO REASONABLE, LOW-COST 'OPT-OUT'
(and involuntary 'Opt-In')

Essentially none of the 100-plus organizations listed below offer a reasonable Opt-Out option --- such as an 800 number to call or, better yet (no possibility of recording caller's phone number), a metered-mail reply envelope for free mailing.

    Currently (2017), there is never a check box on money donation forms to totally opt-out of future mailings. At least one organization offers a check box to reduce the frequency of its mailings --- to what? 4 per year? 8 per year? Two per year should be the max.

For example the '20|20|20' organization (a charity for the blind) has the following sentence in extremely small print on the back of one of their donation forms:

    If you do not wish to receive these mailings or if you'd like to change the frequency of mailings from us, let us know.

--- with no instructions on how to let them know. There is no 800 number to call --- and no metered return mail envelope --- and no check-box to opt-out of future mailings on the front of that donation form.

Note that it is rather ironic that an organization for the blind puts this notice in extremely small print --- so small that many senior citizens with poor vision will probably be unable to read it.

Also note that the message indicates that this organization is automatically 'opting-in' their 'victims' to FREQUENT mailings --- without their permission.

Also note that if a person had to contact the approximately 200 organizations below to 'opt-out' of future mailings, using mail at about 50-cents a stamp on each return envelope, the cost would be about 100 dollars --- not to mention all the wasted time doing the mailing.

And if someone had to use the phone numbers of these organizations (mostly non-800 numbers, if any phone number is even provided), a person could use the equivalent of all their cell phone minutes for a month --- or run up a large long-distance calling bill.

And in either case --- that is, snail-mailing to opt-out or phone-calling to opt-out --- there is no guarantee that they will actually opt you out --- or be able to opt you out.

You may be on so many mailing lists, that are circulating around, that your name will keep popping up at these organizations --- or at the contractors that they use to do the mailings.


THE 'MEMBERSHIP FEE' TRICK

Some organizations indulge in what I call a 'mild form of scamming'. They consider your donation a 'membership fee' and then bombard you with reminders that your membership fee is due --- often much more frequently than annually.

I may indicate those organizations or requests with a 'membership' tag.


THE 'SURVEY FORM' TRICK

Some organizations seem to try to draw attention away from their main aim (to get your money) by including a survey form for you to fill out --- as if you want to spend your valuable time filling out a form that will typically lead to nothing being accomplished.

I may indicate those organizations or requests with a 'survey' tag.


THE 'PETITION' TRICK

Some organizations include petitions (typically to be sent to your Congress persons) rather than a survey. Meanwhile, they mainly want your money. They would never mail you simply a petition with no request for money. At least, I have never seen that happen.

I may indicate those organizations or requests with a 'petition' tag.


THE 'ANONYMOUS ENVELOPE' TRICK

Some organizations do not put the name of the organization on the outside of the envelope that is received. (This is probably to make it less likely that the envelope will be thrown away without opening it.)

I may indicate those organizations or requests with an 'anonymous' tag.

Upper-case 'ANONYMOUS' indicates that NEITHER the name nor the address of the organization was on the outside of the received envelope.

Lower-case 'anonymous' indicates the address of the organization was on the outside of the envelope WITHOUT the name of the organization.


THE 'GUILT' TRICK

Some organizations may put an unsolicited 'gift' in the envelope, such as

  • coin(s)
  • return-address labels
  • a notepad
  • greeting cards
  • a calendar
  • a check (void or valid), that they do not want you to cash
  • etc.

I may indicate those organizations or requests with a tag like 'coin' or 'labels' or 'notepad' or 'cards' or 'calendar'.


TOO MANY CLOSELY-SPACED REQUESTS
(from the same organization)

No doubt many of these organizations are sincerely trying to do good.

However, those that send multiple requests per month (or quarter or year) are wearing out their welcome --- and they become 'suspect'.

At best, they are not doing 'due diligence' --- that is, they are not trying to make sure that they do not 'bombard' individuals with repeated requests for money.

Some of the organizations sending frequent requests for money (about a month apart, or less) to this 'Individual One' are listed below --- with '[S]' indicating they used 'stamp-required' return envelopes and '[M]' indicating they used 'metered' (or postage-supplied) return envelopes --- and '[S,M]' or '[M,S]' indicating they used some of each.

  • Paws of War [S]
  • PCS Stamps and Coins [M] *** (ignoring 'died notices'??)
  • Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue [S,M] *** (money-requests almost WEEKLY)
  • Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine [M]
    (irresponsibly sending frequent money-requests)
  • Project Hope [S,M]
  • Project K9 Hero [S]
  • Save the Children [S,M]
  • Shriners Hospitals for Children [S]
  • Smiling Dog Farms [S]
  • Soldier's Wish [S]
  • Special Olympics Virginia [S]
  • SPCA International [S] (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)
  • St. Joseph's Indian School [S]
  • St. Labre Indian School [M] *** (money-requests almost WEEKLY)
  • Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge [S]
  • Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue [S]

This is about 65 organizations out of the approximately 220 listed below that have sent 'Individual One' a money-request at least once. So more than 25% of the organizations are sending money-requests as often as once a month.

Note that the following are sending money-requests MORE OFTEN THAN MONTHLY --- RIDICULOUS! (Twice a year should be the limit. Once a quarter is too many.)

  • Alley Cat Allies [M]
    (money-requests EVERY 2 WEEKS,
    even after 'died notes')

  • Coalition to Guarantee Social Security [S]
    (money-requests almost WEEKLY)

  • Coalition to Salute America's Heroes Foundation [S]
    (almost WEEKLY)

  • Epilepsy Foundation [M]
    (almost WEEKLY,
    even after 'died notices')

  • Make-A-Wish [S]
    (money-requests about EVERY 2 WEEKS)

  • Mutts with a Mission [M,S]
    (WEEKLY money-requests, from 'Brooke Corson',
    even after 'died notices')

  • National Jewish Health [M]
    (money-requests EVERY 2 WEEKS,
    even after 'died notices')

  • Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue [S,M]
    (money-requests almost WEEKLY,
    even after 'died notices'))

  • St. Labre Indian School [M]
    (money-requests almost WEEKLY,
    even after 'died notices'))

What is happening in these cases? Are they using every mailing list that they can get their hands on --- and not checking for duplicates??

Have they 'contracted-out' their mailings, and the contractor is not checking for duplicates? Is the contractor motivated to mail frequent money-requests because he/she is rewarded by how much money he/she brings in --- or how many mailings they do (each envelope sent is a 'click')?

Is the US Post Office a willing/unwilling participant by 'publishing' 'change of address form' info --- which bulk-mail contractors regularly skim for addresses?

    I have been told by a post-office supervisor that when an organization writes (or encodes) something like 'address requested' on their money-request envelope, the USPS will provide them a new address --- WITHOUT checking with the recipient if they approve. In other words, the junk-mailers have rights --- the recipients do not.

Judging by PO-box return addresses, it looks like there are bulk mail contractors in:

  • Merrifield, VA
  • Topeka, KS
  • Milford, NH
  • Hagerstown, MD
  • as well as Washington DC

Perhaps this quote from the small print at the bottom of a 'Make-A-Wish' cover letter offers some explanation of what is going on here:

    From time to time, Make-A-Wish rents or exchanges its list of supporters with other trusted organizations to benefit our programs and activities.

and small print from a 'Defenders of Wildlife' return-mail envelope:

    Defenders occasionally shares mailing list information with like-minded organizations.

and from 'World Vision':

    We may disclose some donor information to select third parties in order to more effectively target our fundraising communications.

Does 'disclose some donor information' and 'effectively target' mean 'deluge the generous giver (or old, possibly-senile giver) with repeated requests'?

    In very small print on the back of a "Coalition to Salute America's Heroes" donation form, there are 'Do not rent my name' instructions.

    This seems useless. By the time someone notices this, the name is 'rented'. Once the name-address is rented, how does one possibly un-rent it? What does 'renting a name-address' actually mean --- other than SELLING someone's name-address?

Is there a 'feeding frenzy' of money-request-mailings being generated by a 'cross-pollination' via 'rents' and 'exchanges' and 'sharing' and 'disclosing' of mailing lists?

The PO-box and city-state on the return envelopes are probably, in most cases, the addresses of the contractors (sometimes called 'processing centers' or 'operations centers' or 'service centers' or 'fulfillment centers' or 'correspondence centers') handling the mailings of these organizations.

I supply those PO-box numbers for most of the organizations below.

Maybe someone in Merrifield or Topeka or Milford or Hagerstown or DC can track down the poor excuses for human beings that are clogging up the U.S. mail system, in general, and deluging the mail address of 'Individual One', in particular.

    I am willing to bet $100 that many of these mail-contractors got their start by handling political mailings for Republicans or Democrats --- perhaps funded initially by the likes of the Koch Brothers --- and that, between elections, these mail-contractors found that they could earn some extra cash by handling the mail of charitable and scammer organizations.

    And now, we are never going to see the end of this deluge, because these mail-contractors have powerful lobbyists patrolling the halls of Congress.


ON POSTAGE COST :

I think it is quite obnoxious that a majority of these organizations send 'stamp required' return envelopes --- some of them even pre-marked 'First Class'.

This means that they are requiring us to put a 48-cents (or more) stamp on their envelope, when they could use their bulk mail privileges to provide a return envelope that would cost them about 8 to 12 cents in postage --- probably only if the return envelope is used. (These prices are for 2017.)

The 'harassers' make it sound like they will save a bunch of money if we put about 50 cents in postage on their unstamped return envelope --- when they are asking for a minimum of 15 dollars in donations --- and/or monthly deductions from your bank account --- and/or a part of your estate when you die.

Meanwhile, they could provide the postage for about 75 percent less than what we have to pay.

Disgusting!


OPTING OUT OF THE DELUGE :
(a very rare opportunity --- and costly)

So far (up to 2017 Jun), I have found only one of the following organizations --- out of more than 200 --- that offers an opt-out '800' phone number --- and that in tiny almost-unreadable print.

    NOTE: By calling them, they can record your phone number and subject you to phone-abuse as well as snail-mail-abuse.

And I have found none who offer a total-opt-out option in their money-request forms that are to be returned via snail-mail.

    The few organizations that offer some kind of partial-opt-out usually provide only a stamp-required return envelope.

    Thus they opt us 'in' without our permission --- then require us to spend money, as well as valuable time (especially valuable to old people approaching end-of-life), to try to opt-out --- partially opt-out (like reduce a 'barrage' to a 'deluge').

    DISGUSTING. CRIMINAL behavior.


A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF REQUESTORS ??
(and never-ending requests)

I was hoping to populate this page with a set of organization names, and then simply have to add a new date once in a while --- to an organization name already on this page. BUT ...

It seems there is a bottomless pit of money-requestors --- with various names involving the words:

  • 'Horse/Equine' or

  • 'Dog/Mutt/Paws/K9' or

  • 'Children/Child/Kid/Tot' or

  • 'Soldier/Veteran/Wounded/Hero/Warrior/ArmedForces/Platoon' or

  • 'Blind/Eye/Vision/See/Glaucoma/MacularDegeneration' or

  • 'Wilderness/Environment/Earth/Nature' or

  • 'Wildlife/Wild/Animal/Tiger'.

New organization-names --- using variations on these pieces of organization-names --- seem to keep being generated.

    Some --- like 'Mutts with a Mission' --- combine an appeal based on both 'dog' and 'veteran'. See if you can find others below.

Surely not all of these are on the 'up-and-up'. How to know which are 'best in class'??

It seems they are forcing us not to give to ANY of them --- otherwise, if we give to just one, our mail-addresses are likely to end up in an ever-expanding set of mailing lists.

    See the case of 'Individual Two' who gave money to about 15 different organizations and now gets mail from more than 100 --- with more added every month.


SAMPLE SEARCHES ON THIS PAGE :

The data on this page provides a lot of information.

Note that there are many ways you can use the 'word-search' option of your web browser to search this page for various 'categories' of information. Examples:

  • Search on date:
    You can enter a date, like '2017jun05', to find all (or most) of the pieces of mail that arrived on 2017jun05. Or use '2017may' to find all (or most) of the pieces of mail that arrived in May 2017.

  • Search on a PO-box-city:
    You can enter a city, like 'Merrifield', to find the PO box numbers that are return-addresses in that city. It may be the case that numbers close together are used by a particular 'bulk-mail-contractor' --- in other words, those numbers may be associated with a particular 'processing center'.

  • Search on a name like Equine or Horse:
    You can enter part of a typical organizaton name, like 'equine' or 'horse' or 'dog' or 'k9' or 'mutt' or 'paw' or 'cat' or 'tiger' or 'blind' or 'see' or 'hero' or 'veteran' or 'glaucoma' or 'parkinson', to find organizations that are making an appeal related to that name.


ENOUGH OF THIS INTRO.

The 'Table of Contents' follows.

Note that the sum total of the following mailings constitutes 'extreme harassment'.

There are more than 200 'organizations' in this list.

The typical number of money-requests per mail-day of this 'Individual One' is/was 10 to 12 requests --- with 21 money-requests coming on one record-breaking day. (It can only get worse in future years with the way non-regulation is going.)

This is about 3,000 money-requests per year to one person.

    AARP (American Association of Retired Persons),
    Box 2400, Long Beach CA 90801-2400
    and

    AARP provides notes to call 1-800-516-1993 to tell AARP not to share your info
    with 'providers of AARP member benefits' --- or email member@aarp.org .
    (Caution. Either way, they can get your phone# or your email address.)

    Note that AARP (and 'partners') also send many offers per year for various
    kinds of insurance --- never providing a return envelope --- always requiring
    a phone call to an 8xx number to reply. Thus they can get your phone#.
    Then you will surely get insurance agents calling you --- more than one. Advice on
    offers of AARP approved insurance: Call the 8xx number ONLY if really interested
    --- and ONLY if you are willing to be deluged with more insurance offers.

    RECEIPT DATES:
    2017may10~ (renewal-forms),
    2017jun02 (2 member cards with request for dues payment),
    2017jun05 (renewal-form),

    2017aug31 (wants membership renewal),
    2017sep29 (wants membership renewal),
    2017oct11 (wants membership renewal ; enclosed 2 member cards),
    2017oct22~ (wants membership renewal, says membership 'will expire shortly' ---
          So why at least 7 previous renewal requests --- starting at least
          5 months ago ??
    Hoping for forgetful aged/Alzheimers members ???),
    2017oct30~ (wants membership renewal --- 3rd mailing in a month),
    2017nov05~ (wants membership renewal),
    2017nov07~ (wants membership renewal),
    2017dec19 (wants membership renewal; as usual no metered return envelope,

    2018jan06 (yet another membership renewal form),
    2018feb13 (yet another membership renewal form),

    NOTE:
    AARP sent 'Individual One' at least TWELVE requests/demands in 2017 for
    membership renewal without once providing a 'metered' return envelope. In ALL
    AARP mailings, they NEVER provide a 'metered' return envelope. If AARP gets no
    reply to repeated membership renewal requests, they should eventually offer a
    'metered' return envelope. There will be no reply to these AARP requests/demands
    for membership renewal --- to let them know that 'Individual One' is dead ---
    until AARP provides a no-cost return envelope. And there should be no need to
    divulge more personal info --- such as phone number or email address --- by
    using the AARP 800 number or email address above (which can capture such info).

    Make A Wish
    Gift Processing Center, Box 97104, Washington DC 20090-7104

    NOTE:
    'Gift Processing Center' indicates Make-A-Wish uses a donation-processing service.
    In fact, their donation form says:
    "Make-A-Wish may expend the funds as deemed appropriate at the sole disrection
    of Make-A-Wish in order to support its work."

    AND NOTE:
    "From time to time, Make-A-Wish rents or exchanges its list of supporters with other
    trusted organizations to benefit our programs and activities. If you do not wish
    to participate in the Make-A-Wish list rental or exchange activities or if you
    wish to modify the frequency of future communications from Make-A-Wish, please
    write to us at 4742 N. 24th St., Suite 400, Phenix, AZ 85016."

    HENCE:
    Make-A-Wish cannot be called a 'trusted' organization, because it requires
    its donors to opt-out of 'rental or exchange activities' --- that is, if the donor happens
    to see this notice before donating. Otherwise, it's too late. A donor will
    probably be on multiple lists, and spreading to more lists. No way to 'un-rent'.
    Furthermore, the donor has to spend first class postage to
    send a cease-and-desist message to Make-A-Wish, while they bombard
    donors and potential donors with mail at about one-tenth the donor-cost per letter.

These two pages provide examples of 'even creepier' money-requests sent to 'Individual One'.


< Go to Table of Contents, above. >

< Go to Top of Page, above. >


There is a strong possibility that the 'frequent-mailers of money-requests/demands are hoping that the recipient is old and feeble-minded (for example, has Alzheimer's). It is quite likely that they are hoping that the 'old' recipients will send money as frequently as they receive requests/demands for money.

In fact, 'Individual One' and 'Individual Two' of these web pages were/are over 70 years old. It is quite likely that the 'frequent-mailers' are aware of their age and hence are bombarding them with monthly (or more frequent) mailings.

After starting these web pages in 2017, I ran across the following 10-year-old letter to the 'AARP Bulletin', a letter published in January 2007. It was titled 'Aggressive Charities'. The text follows.

    It's no wonder your statistics show one in 10 over-65 adults giving $5,000 or more annually to charity [Bulletin Board, "With Age Comes Generosity"].

    Several years ago, as my mother was starting to be unable to keep up with her bills, I saw that she was writing about $450 per month to various charities. My mom, who needed me to supplement her account quarterly, was sending checks in the $10 to $15 range, sometimes to the same charity every two weeks.

    When I asked her about this, she said she was "paying bills" that the charities had sent her. Indeed, when I started collecting her mail, I understood her comment better. The charities --- in 25 to 30 letters a week --- were not asking for money, they were demanding it.

    It borders on illegal to take advantage of older people --- as lonely as some are --- through such mailings.

    Jackie Ipp
    Lake Worth, Florida

Here are 'Individual One' and 'Individual Two' --- ten years later --- going through the same 'barrage' of money-'demands'.

It is WAY past time that the federal Congress should step into this mail-crossing-state-lines (and harassment of citizens, in-state as well as out-of-state) situation and

  1. lay down the law on the frequency of money-request/demand snail-mailings (and other appeals, like email) to any individual from any organization --- and

  2. provide penalties for violations (examples: suspension of bulk mail privileges, IRS investigations of the organization and its leaders, even jail time for those leaders) --- and

  3. require an opt-out-of-future-mailings checkbox with every money-request --- and

  4. require a metered return-envelope with every snail-mail money-request, so that recipients (victims) do not have to pay for being barraged with (unsolicited and unwanted) money requests.

But I will not hold my breath.

As was mentioned above, there are powerful mass-mailing lobbyists patrolling the halls of Congress. That rather small minority has managed to get Congress to protect their wicked ways --- and ignore the welfare of the vast majority of citizens of the United States.

    (There are absolutely horrible, unethical, sleeze-ball people in Congress.)

Some of the worst offenders --- who send too many closely-spaced money requests --- are listed above.

Many people are upset by the amount of junk mail that they get.
Some examples, on the internet, of complaints --- and ineffective
'solutions' --- and tedious semi-effective solutions --- follow.

  • 'Drowning in Junk Mail'
    at drowninginmail.wordpress.com (2015)
    (Has lots of info on 'bulk-mail-services', incl. how to contact them. How to deal with deceased-person mail. How to (maybe) reduce the junk to a dribble. Lots of pictures of junk-mail examples. Info on how to 'let off some steam'.)

  • How to stop junk mail for a deceased person
    at bogleheads.org (2016)
    (Lots of more or less helpful responses on this forum.)

    • In the bogleheads.org forum above, someone suggested trying the
      Deceased Do Not Contact (DDNC) Registration web page
      of the DMA (Data and Marketing Association). This may be worth a try.

      "DMA created (in October 2005) a 'Deceased Do Not Contact' (DDNC) List which all DMA members are required to honor."

      "A new, updated file is distributed to our members at least once every three months. Therefore the number of commercial contacts from DMA members should begin to decrease within three months."

      NOTE:
      An email address of 'You' is required --- and not all 'direct snail-mailers' may comply. It is not clear how many 'charity' organizations are members of the DMA.

  • Junk Mail Be Gone at green-mom.com (2012)
    (ineffective suggestions?)

  • Stopping unsolicited mail etc. at ftc.gov
    (not very encouraging, actually)

  • How to Stop Solicitations by Mail at charitynavigator.org
    (not very encouraging, actually)
