BBB Flooded With Complaints On 2 Auto Auction Sites

Stars-Automart, Autoaven Sent Cease And Desist Letters

POSTED: 12:41 pm MDT August 11, 2009

DENVER -- The Denver office of the Better Business Bureau said its telephone helpline has been jammed with calls from people across the country who are asking about two auto sales Web sites that claim to be headquartered in Denver.

According to the BBB, calls have been nonstop and the BBB has sent a ';cease and desist'; notice regarding trademark infringement to the company because of a fake BBB report the sites link to that falsely shows the company with an A+ rating.

The two Web sites list one physical address as 10701 W. Sixth Ave, but that address actually belongs to BBB Accredited business, Automotive Avenues, Inc. Another link goes to 3925 Monaco Parkway, which actually belongs to Cintas Document Management -- a paper shredding company.



The two Web sites, www.stars-automart.com and www.autoaven.com, claim to offer sales of repossessed vehicles.

The BBB said customers complain that once a majority payment is sent via MoneyGram to a Denver address, the company ceases communication. The company has not responded to the BBB.

An Internet check shows the two domain names are registered to a private registration company in Sunnyvale, Calif.

The BBB said it sent out the warning because on-delivery and Internet auction fraud were the top two complained-about fraud types at the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

';The BBB takes complaints very seriously and does not want any more consumers to be victimized,'; a news release stated.

TheDenverChannel attempted to contact the Web sites without success. The phone number listed on the site goes to a recording, which suggests callers contact them by e-mail. The same section of the stars-automart.com Web site lists a James Stewart as the owner.

To protect from online scams, the BBB has the following suggestions:

?Verify any organization credentials with the organization directly, (BBB, AutoTrader, Consumer Reports logos, etc.)

?Check the company檚 BBB report at www.denver.bbb.org or by calling 303-758-2100. Only do business online with websites you are familiar with and that have a positive track record.

?Make sure the website has a privacy policy. It will contain agreements on how the information you provide on the website will be used and kept private and secure. Print this and keep it in your records.

?The privacy policy may also contain the company檚 mailing address. Only do business with companies that provide a sure method of contact, should something go wrong.

?Do not wire transfer any payment. Wired funds cannot be traced and therefore cannot be recovered if you are a victim of fraud.

?If you have become a victim of fraud, contact your BBB and the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov to file a complaint.





Please dont fall for this and report them to law enforcement

Is it time for the American people to amend the Constitution to say....?

After watching our legislators on the floor of the House, and Senate, I am appalled at the behavior. I have seen the Speaker have to stop the representatives talking to address the rude, obnoxious, and immature behavior of those who are in attendance. I felt as though I was watching a video with the head school teacher, and a room full of kindergarten children.



I propose that some changes be made to the duties of our representatives, such as:



1. All will be in attendance when bills come on the floor to be passed. If not all in attendance, the vote will be postponed till all are present.



2.Should any legislator have to be spoken to more than once to ';sit down';, or ';clear the aisles';, or ';take your conversation outside';, then they will be fined. If it happens more than 3 times during their time in office, they will be automatically FIRED!



3.When someone is speaking, there will be no interruptions, regardless of what the person speaking is saying. Having the time limits on speaking that our legislators do, this can be difficult.



4.If there is opposition, then a time frame must be allowed for those who oppose to speak, also without interruption, even if they have already spoken in regards to the bill.



5.All bills will be read in their entirety, to all in attendance, and not by a speed reader. (Maybe then, the people who have been adding 2-300 pages to the original bills at 3 am in the morning so no one has a chance to read them, would end.)



I feel, very strongly, that many of our legislators are mocking the people of our nation by not having enough respect for us to pay attention to what is being said, and by not allowing, and/or agreeing to as much debate is absolutely necessary to protect the people of our Nation.



How do you feel about the poor, immature, and almost criminal behavior many of our legislators have been exhibiting?



What else would you like to see done, that is/or is not being done now while they decide the laws which will affect each and every one of us in some form or another?



Thank you in advance!



http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?qIs it time for the American people to amend the Constitution to say....?
At first I thought that some of the ideas may not work but you know what, I think if we had these rules it would greatly slow down and simplify our out of control congress. If they all had to be there and read the bills I think we would start seeing 20 page bills instead of unnecessary 1000 page bills packed with hidden agendas. I also agree that our representatives are mocking us. We should vote all of them out. They are a disgrace to our great country.Is it time for the American people to amend the Constitution to say....?
I'd also prefer that they didn't take the entire summer off. Perhaps if they weren't on a school schedule, they wouldn't act like children.
Sounds great,.



How about this:



The Senate, the Congress, and the Executive branch, must prove any proposed legislation to be constitutionally sound before it comes to a vote.
My responses to your points:

1. Politicians are very busy people. It's impossible for them to attend every meeting, especially with the amount of bills that get proposed. Your idea would drag the country to a halt. Also, absentee congressmen are considered a vote in favor of the bill in question. You'd be surprised how rare a full congress is.



2. Firing a congressman is against the law. I'm almost positive that the clause is in the constitution itself. Totally agree with the first point though.



3 %26amp; 4. This will make meetings incredibly long. Combining this with point one would mean that congressmen would practically live in the house and senate.



5. Bills are made to be that long so everyone can agree with them. Also, both houses have to agree on the exact same bill. That means that if one house adds an extra comma, the bill has to go back to the other house and they then have to re-read and pass it again. One extra letter can stall a bill by more than a month.



I don't think you'd want them to argue about whether or not the speed limit on interstate highways should be raised by two mph for several hours. It would waste our tax dollars. Contrary to popular belief, most passed bills are pretty boring and are not a cause for much argument, which is why most congressmen don't show up.



This is the American Government. It was set up to be slow and stable. I'd personally like to see the United States switch over to a multiple plurality system, but that would require a new constitution and will not happen. It's actually very difficult to amend the constitution. Most bills to amend end up falling by the wayside. In our two hundred years, we've only passed twenty seven amendments, including the bill of rights, which really shouldn't count.



Though I understand your frustrations, your ideas aren't very realistic. They aren't because of the very nature of our government. It's ironic that to change the nature of our government to something better is inhibited due to the nature of our government.
Lets just say:

';If a legislator has not read a bill in it檚 entirety they are not entitle to vote yes on it.';



It is better that they do nothing then sign a bank check.

and:

';the 14th, 16th, and 17th amendment are hereby repealed.';

Thus restoring federalism and the check on federal power and the Constitution as a whole. There must be a competing power interest to check the general power interest of the federal government from excesses at inevitably their expenses.

    Obama pledges 'unwavering'


    support to gay causes, community





    Posted on Oct 12, 2009 | by Michael Foust





    WASHINGTON (BP)--Using some of his strongest language to date in siding with the homosexual community, President Obama told a gathering of the Human Rights Campaign Saturday that his commitment to their cause was ';unwavering'; and that his administration, before he leaves office, would end the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.





    ';I'm here with a simple message: I'm here with you in that fight'; for homosexual causes, Obama, the keynote speaker, told those gathered at an event held by the nation's largest homosexual activist organization. ';For even as we face extraordinary challenges as a nation, we cannot -- and we will not -- put aside issues of basic equality.';





    Unlike a speech delivered to homosexual leaders in June, Obama in his Oct. 10 address put no qualifiers on his pledge to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell. He did, though, repeat language in that June speech criticizing what he called ';outworn arguments and old attitudes'; about homosexuality -- language that was viewed by evangelicals then and now as condemning orthodox interpretations of Scripture.





    Additionally, Obama repeated his stance for overturning the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act -- which, if reversed, could force every state to recognize ';gay marriages'; from other states. He also stated his opposition to those who would ';enshrine discrimination into our constitution'; -- a reference to a federal marriage amendment and presumably also state marriage amendments.





    He made news by saying he would sign -- if it makes it to his desk -- a defense authorization bill that includes an amendment broadening the hate crimes law to include homosexual persons. There was some question as to whether he would sign it because it contains funding for a fighter plane engine he opposes. Conservatives say the hate crimes protections put religious liberties at risk.





    ';My expectation is that when you look back on these years, you will see a time in which we put a stop to discrimination against gays and lesbians -- whether in the office or on the battlefield,'; Obama said. ';You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman. You will see a nation that's valuing and cherishing these families as we build a more perfect union -- a union in which gay Americans are an important part. I am committed to these goals. And my administration will continue fighting to achieve them.';





    Obama spoke to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on the eve of a National Equality March in Washington that focused on homosexual issues. He thanked HRC for ';the work you do every day in pursuit of equality'; for those ';who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.';





    ';Despite the real gains that we've made, there's still laws to change and there's still hearts to open,'; he said. ';There are still fellow citizens, perhaps neighbors, even loved ones -- good and decent people -- who hold fast to outworn arguments and old attitudes, who fail to see your families like their families, who would deny you the rights most Americans take for granted. And that's painful and it's heartbreaking. And yet you continue, leading by the force of the arguments you make, and by the power of the example that you set in your own lives -- as parents and friends, as PTA members and church members, as advocates and leaders in your communities. And you're making a difference.';





    Bob Stith, the Southern Baptist national strategist for gender issues and representative of the denomination's Task Force on Ministry to Homosexuals (SBCTheWayOut.com), once again expressed frustration at how Obama characterized Christian conservatives. He also said Obama marginalized ex-gays.





    ';President Obama continues to portray all who disagree with him as those who 'hold fast to outworn arguments and old attitudes,''; Stith told Baptist Press. ';The inference is that if an attitude is old it must be wrong. The constitution is an old document. The Bible is older still. ... It is adherence to those timeless teachings of Scripture that has made it possible for thousands of men and women to find freedom from a struggle for which they did not ask and one from which they desperately sought freedom. If our president truly wants to end discrimination, he will be equally passionate about the discrimination these heroic people face. He will care about their stories and fight for the right for their stories to be heard. Until he does, his passion and eloquence will ring hollow.';





    Obama said he and his wife Michelle sent ';a message'; when they ';invited LGBT families to the White House to participate in events like the Easter Egg Roll.'; Obama's speech came one day after John Berry, a homosexual who is director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management said the time is ripe to pass legislation favored by theIsn't it time that we accept all Americans regardless of their sexual orientation?
    I think its a great idea. We could call it ';The land of the free'; (only took a couple hundred years longer)Isn't it time that we accept all Americans regardless of their sexual orientation?
    I'm having trouble with a kind of contradiction between chauvinism and acceptance.


    I like Obama's position nonetheless.
    Yes.





    Hey that character in your avatar looks familiar.
    Discrimination against LGBT people will end when LGBT are looked up to and admired in all the ways non-LGBT people are.





    Think about it. What perpetuates bigotry and discrimination? It all boils down to what we are taught growing up - whether directly, indirectly, inferred, assumed, whatever. If a person isn't TAUGHT to like or dislike something, he or she will come to their own conclusions, usually through experimentation, just like a dog learns through experimentation not to antagonize a cornered cat.





    Are average LGBT people inherently inferior or superior to non-LGBT people? Of course not. There is no logical reason to admire a straight athlete over a gay one, or vice-versa. Before puberty, when a ten year old child idolizes an athlete, or an actor, or an inventor, or whatever, and wants to emulate that person, the farthest thing from their mind is what their idols sexual orientation is. They are awed by the person's accomplishments, or abilities, or reputation. It's ADULTS who tell the child that their idol is good or bad.





    After puberty, when a child understands the concept of sexual orientation, they now have all sorts of pressures. Pressures to conform, to fit in, to not disappoint their parents, and so on. If a child grows up in a homophobic environment, chances are that if the person they once idolized is homosexual, that idol is going to be discarded in favor of a more ';acceptable'; role model. But if the child grows up in an accepting environment, then their role model will remain, and the cycles is essential broken.





    This is what is starting to finally happen in America. As more and more parents are ';okay'; with same sex relationships, more and more children will be ';okay'; with them, and within a few generations, the bigotry and discrimination goes away because it's absurd at that point.





    So what we need is for homosexual people to not stay closeted, but also not make a big deal about their homosexuality. Just act like any other average person, and be recognized and admired for their accomplishments, their talent and their expertise. That is how you cast off the stigma of homosexuality, or any other stigma for that matter. You refuse to accept its validity until those who promote it look ridiculous because you are obviously superior to them.





    As children, we all hear the phrase, ';you can be anything you want to be when you grow up... even president of the United States'; and you can imagine that somewhere there are racist white parents who taught their kids that a black person could never be president. Well don't 'ol Mom and Dad look stupid now in the eyes of their kids. Their prejudice is just asinine. How can they take themselves seriously anymore? People with attitudes like this are causing their own extinction BECAUSE they have these attitudes. Their time in society is over, and GOOD RIDDANCE.





    Every time a homosexual person ';kicks azz'; at whatever it is they do, they are leaving the neanderthals and their stupid bigotry in the dust. THAT'S the way to become accepted... you become a person worth looking up to, and then nothing else matters because your actions speak louder than their words.
    I don't think gay people should be allowed to join the military.
    yes we should, but in all reality, that is far off from here
    Yes we should
    it is time! we shall overcome.
    YES ... I agree! =)





    And I agree with what Obama said! I still support him BTW! Some LGBT people I guess have decided to not support Obama anymore, but I personally still support him and I HOPE he will live up to his promises and make sure that DADT and DOMA are repealed. I'll be angry if they aren't, but I still have hope! There's lot's of issues he's dealing with now.





    But anyways, yeah I do think we should all accept each other for our sexual orientations because equality is what America was founded on, but there's all these right-wing bigots these days like those people who listen to Rush Limbaugh (urghh I hate him), but it's not like they'll last forever because equality always wins! =)
    This is nice to hear - but it's the same thing we've heard from the campaign trail. Nothing has changed - except the cost to listen. He's been spouting off anytime someone makes a stink - just enough to shut them up - then he redirects the attention of the nation by bailing someone/something else out.





    Yeah - it's time that gays and lesbians should be able to marry, should they choose. It's time for gays and lesbians to be able to die for their country AS themselves, not hidden away like a dirty secret (DADT).


    But folks - Obama is not the guy to get us there. WE have to go out and make it happen. USE your voice and VOTE. March. TELL THE USA! Too many people think that this is not ';their'; problem - they don't know anyone gay...make em aware - let them know you're gay.





    Don't roll an Easter egg on the white house lawn - take a stand VOTE!
    I think it is a good thing to start off small, we can always take the big approach so fast. What some lgbt people don't understand before we reach the top we have to start from the bottom. Even if you don't like Obama it doesn't matter. Yes we live in a free country but we have government and for the most part it hasn't even been this supportive! You cant even get married in most states and if you get married in one your not married in the other. I know ftw. I don't get how being gay or lesbian have to do with protecting your country. SO is media stereotypes in brained in the government? As I remember we are the ones who cant make the babies. I don't get the policy. Why do they think we are going to wear rainbow? Plu eaz Thats like saying because im black im going to wear Rasta colors. IDK but I think that we should take w/e we have and run with it, because this may not always be.
    Q. ';Isn't it time that we accept all Americans regardless of their sexual orientation?';





    A. Go ahead. Regardless of who is President of the U.S., this issue of ';complete acceptance'; of homosexuals as ';a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman'; just doesn't cut it. Many of us see right through this and will not just lay down and accept it because of the demands the gay community is making regarding an issue that they are turning into a circus side-show.





    Millions in the rest of the world disagree and many will never accept your ';idealistic view'; of ';as we build a more perfect union';. There is no such thing as perfection of anything in this world. I believe that these people who want their ';equal rights'; as citizens but practise their indecent behaviour in public, as well as teaching it to children and young people, is immoral. I really believe that Mr. Obama has to take his stand FOR the homosexuals so as not to create a civil war or revolution. He may say he believes these things, but if he is true to his heart, he is speaking hypocrisy.
    Definitely. Not all Americans will accept homosexuality, but it's about time that the general population and the government realizes that it doesn't matter and all should be treated equally.





    Then we can focus on transgendered and transsexual rights, as those of us who fit into the T of LGBT, are less than second class citizens, even in places like Canada.
    No matter what laws are passed we will never be accepted as first class citizens as long as the churches continue to brainwash millions of people to believe we are evil and unnatural.


    I hope that Obama will sign some bills to protect us but that still doesn't give us a better, safer life. There are still lots of crazy people out there who would follow us leaving a gay bar and beat us to death.


    It is kind of ironic that he is talking about ending don't ask don't tell now that the army needs more cannon fodder.


    I want to be more positive about potential new laws but I have been around a long time and know how people are.

    Survivor's Benefits + Marriage?

    This will be a long one... Not sure though under what category I should of posted this question.



    I lived with my American father since late 2005 in Las Vegas, my parents divorced sometime in 2000. My father remarried to a friends Hungarian ex-wife so that she can get a green card in January of 2008. They never lived together, I continued to live with my Dad from January of 2008 till June of 2008. No one told me about the marriage. Not my Dad or my half-brother or anyone else for that matter, I was left in the dark.



    I learned much later that my Dad was angry at her because they agreed that if they married, she would pay him a monthly sum of money, she stopped paying though. From July and onwards I lived with my grandparents, I heard the news that my Dad had died in a car accident in early December 2008. When I figured out who was married to my Dad, I remember seeing her in Las Vegas when I was with my father. We visited them (the woman and her ex-husband and two of her children) several times throughout 2007 and 2008.



    I'm 18 years old and at this time I'm still in high school receiving survivors benefits, currently living with my half-brother in California. I'm guessing (because the social security office won't tell me a thing) that the other two children of the woman are getting the benefits too. I could be getting much more of the benefits if my Dad wouldn't have married her.



    My mother received my mail from the social security office, checks and anything else from the ss office (although I've called once before several months ago to change my mailing address). I drove to mothers apartment last night to pick up the letters and I received one that said:



    '';Effective 05/2009 additional auxiliaries were entitled to benefit's on (name)'s record... When we have a limit on how much we can pay on each person's Social Security record.



    If You Disagree With The Decision



    Please tell us within 10 days of the date of this letter (March 3rd) if you disagree with the decision. You will also need to give us any proof that your benefits should not be reduced. If you let us know within 10 days that you disagree with the decision, we will not reduce your checks. We will continue to pay you while we review the case to see if you are right. However, if you are wrong we will ask you to pay back any money you received that was not due.



    If we do not hear from you within 10 days, we will reduce your checks. We will send you another letter at that time with more information about our action.';



    I'm going early morning on Monday to the social security office in Santa Clarita, by then of course it would be too late, but I'm still going to fight for my money since they failed to change my mailing address. I need proof though that they shouldn't make a reduction in my benefits. The only things I have at this time is:



    A phone number of a friend of my Dad's who knew about the wedding and the green card issue,and an address where the woman lives in Las Vegas with the same ex-husband and two kids (my mother hired a private investigator).



    I have absolutely no idea whats going to happen now, but I'm thinking I won't be able to stop this reduction from occurring. I don't think its illegal to marry for a green card but it would be nice to have the women deported back to her country of origin so that I can receive all of the money which is rightfully mine. Is there anyway of doing this?



    If not is there anything I can do so that the social security office will stop reducing the amount of money I'm receiving monthly?Survivor's Benefits + Marriage?
    You would have to show that the marriage was illegal, contact ICE the Immigration authority and find out, it is doubtful that they would pursue the matter but it would be worth a try but if they say there is nothing they can do you should discuss it with Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 and they can help you, if you appeal and lose they will debit your benefits to compensate for the lower amount.~~

Our designers have constantly got their eye on the latest shapes, colours, patterns and styles. We advertise our products extensively in local and Trade publications as well as mailing our client list (only a few Objects can be shown on these advertisements).



    Our Mission

    We are expanding to the United States, so we want to reach out to people in the United States and advertise our latest sofa with sales offer by mailing the company檚 catalogs to individual, offices, private and public places. Successful candidates will work either weekdays or weekends depending on choice and get paid weekly.



    Job Description

    * Receive 200 product catalogs from the company every week

    * Affix stamps on enveloped and addressed catalogs

    * Send out the catalogs to our clients through regular mail

    * Work two days a week. The working days and time are flexible

    * You must be efficient

    * Applicant must be self motivated

    * Catalogs received each week must be sent out same week



    Compensation

    You will be paid $250 per week.



    At this time, we will like to know how often you get on the internet because our job requires much checking of your email.



    Await your immediate response



    Regards,

    Mr. Daniel Brasford

    Personnel Manager

    DFS Trading Limited

    http://www.dfs.co.uk

    Company Reg Number: 1735950

    Tel: +44 (0)8452802723

    Fax: +44 (0)8452802723



    They also claim to pay for the USPS postage in the following email they sent me.



    Does this sound real? Or should I forget about it?Does this job seem legit, or should I forget about it?
    Don't waste your time replying.



    I guarantee that at some point they will ask you to send them money.



    Given the email, I'd hazard that they'd send a fake/stolen check, tell you to deposit it, then with 1-2 days will say the amount was wrong, could you immediately send them a refund via Western Union. They'll tell you that you can keep $250 for the trouble.



    The scam is the fact that only your money is real and when the fake check bounces, your bank will expect you to refund them the entire amount.Does this job seem legit, or should I forget about it?
    Forget about it. Figure out the cost of mailing the catalogs. which would probably be more than the cost of mailing a letter and which you will have to pay for yourself.Even if they did pay you $250, how much would you make? And there is absolutely no need for them to view your e-mails.
    I would be cautious with this. It does sound sketchy to me. I've heard of other folks trying at-home mailing/assembly things, and if you get one little thing wrong, or late, they won't pay you at all, so you end up stuck with the bill! Good luck!
    I know that DFS is actually a huge furniture shop here in the UK. The website is also legitimate and so is the address provided in your question. See here: http://www.dfs.co.uk/careers/r_howtoappl
    A quick Internet search shows hundreds of reports of this being a scam. Proceed at your won risk,
    SCAM!
    Upon a cursory review of a google.com query for ';dfs.co.uk'; scam which brought up some 694 search results, there appears to be little data which contains specific reference to the word ';scam.'; However, we find it somewhat suspicious that DFS needs to monitor your email traffic since your job does not require use of your email address by merely placing postage on their catalogs which are mailed out. Having access to your email account also will reveal to DFS your addressbook from which they can readily send out spam. And you mean that there is no one else at the DFS premises that cannot perform the same task for much less pay?



    I'd pass on this opportunity, unless DFS is willing to send you a list of current satisfied catalog mailers who can provide positive testimonials on why this is a worthwhile enterprise.



    Good luck!
    The link I have provided is from Google and gives many links for DFS Trading Limited. The Company seems to be a genuine company, Whether or not your e-mail actually comes from them is something I have no knowledge of. Perhaps if you are interested you could take a phone number from one of the Google links and telephone them to ask. I know it is expensive but I can't think of any other way of confirming if your e-mail is from them or a person using their logo and advertising bumph.

    AN AOL Joke... For those that loathe AOL :)?

    If Your City Was Like AOL

    You檇 live in a place where no two people had the same name, and all were hot 17/f cheerleaders with a fetish for pierced gay Dobermans in spandex.

    You檇 only pay $19.95 a month to live there, but half the time you tried to leave your house, the door would be stuck.



    Once you got outside, even if you were in a hurry, you檇 be assaulted by slimy little door-to-door salescreeps offering you great AOL 14.4 modems for only $399.99



    The commute to work is just a double-click away, but every time you try to leave your driveway, the flow of traffic knocks you back into your yard.



    48 hours after moving in, your mailbox would be overflowing with special offers, promotions and discounts from www.getlaid.com



    The local post office would tell your mother you檙e not a known resident.



    The local post office wouldn檛 forward your mail to you when you move.



    The administration would kick you out of town for cursing after one of those brutal toe stubs.



    If you saw a crime and called 911, they檇 reply a week later with a form letter saying how you ';really are important to us.';



    The administration would tell your boss to either pay up, or move his slack-*** company somewhere else.



    Everyone on the street would have something to do with kiddy porn, and this business would account for 75% of all city revenue.



    Every time you went to the mall, people would run up to you and violently scream M/F??!!, AGE/SEX?!?! Or g0t PH1SH d3wd?!11 while little kids called your cell phone saying ';Wanna SCREW?';



    Those that didn檛 do that would call you and say ';Hi, I檓 j0e hax0r from the town council. We had a database crash and lost your tax records. Please give us your address and the key to your house or we will be forced to evict you and your family.';



    Every time you went shopping, you檇 be kicked out of the store by a bouncer screaming ';WE橰E SORRY, THIS STORE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE.';



    Whenever you traveled to other cities, people would see your license tag and laugh behind your back.



    Even your 3 year old son would know the intimate personal details of the town security expert.



    You檇 occasionally be sent home during the day by another bouncer telling you that the city has performed an illegal operation, but that it檚 really the Earth檚 fault.



    The local McDonalds sign would be realistically changed to ';McHax0r Wuz H3r3'; and ';Gr33tz 2 K}It0sawruz'; almost daily. Police don檛 investigate, but do show up with little scrubby tools, or just remove the sign altogether.



    Half the kids in the daycare you use are thinly disguised, fat, hairy, drooling, diapered men holding sacks of candy.



    Your daughter would disappear to the No-Tell Motel every night, and you檇 foot the bill.



    Putting up controversial art in your home would result in the police bashing in your door, throwing your *** on the floor, and kicking the crap out of you while saying ';Ya got two chances left, dickface. ROFLMAO LOL!!';



    You檇 send your kids to school for history, math, and science, but they檇 wind up studying ph1shing, one-handed typing, and annoying acronyms.



    You檇 not have any idea who your neighbors are, and most new arrivals would move in at night, stuff everyone檚 mailbox with crap, and vacate before sun-up.



    The administration would secretly sell off chunks of their personal land in the city, while buying up neighboring cities with imaginary funds.



    The administration would build a huge, state- of- the- art park, and allow the kids to play there free, then suddenly demand money while ripping down the swings and beating the kids currently playing there.



    Don檛 forget the AOL playground, which is locked so that the kiddies can not get out ';for safety reasons,'; and then hordes of perverts %26amp; pedophiles are allowed in.



    The police would work for free out of some sort of ';duty'; to the city, but would secretly only be doing it for the free food stamps.



    Upon waking every morning, a voice from above would shout, ';HEY! YOU DO WANT A GODDAMN AOL VISA, DON橳 YOU?'; To which you say ';no.'; The voice then replies, ';OK, I橪L ASK YOU TOMMOROW.';



    A trip to the local library would find you a few ancient doom 2 patches, commercial pix of Pamela Anderson Lee, and a viral copy of PkZip 2.04g



    Community events would be periodically interrupted because of the speaker randomly flying out of the meeting hall and appearing several minutes later with some stupid comment about a Punt Monster.



    Your neighbors would be called to leave on pilgrimages to a mystical land called USENET, where they would bleat the virtues of your fair city.



    Somewhere in another city, David Cassel would be sitting with a telescope trained on City Hall, smiling contentedly.

    How can i make money fast you say?

    Date Posted:tues. 7/15/08

    Author: Michelle (Money, Money, Money)

    Subject: HOW TO GET MONEY EASILY and LEGALLY



    Seriously no scams! This method really does work and is a very easy way to make fast money. A little while back, I was looking on the web for easy ways to make money and I kept thinking that all of the ways I was reading would never work and were just scams but not this one! The article that I had found said that I could make thousands of dollars easily in a matter of weeks with only an initial small payment of $6.00. I thought, ';Yeah, right, this must be a scam like most of the rest';, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that if I sent $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses listed at the bottom of the article that I would make great money but only if I followed the following steps. After sending the $1.00 to each person you were then instructed to rewrite the list by taking the 1st person off of the list then moving the 2nd person to the 1st spot, and the 3rd person to the 2nd spot, etc, etc. Finally you should be left with the number 6 spot empty and this is where you place your name and address. After reconfiguring the list you then must post it on about 200 newsgroups (doesn檛 matter but the more places you post the more money you make!). There are thousands and thousands of newsgroups from around the world so this task is easy and that was it when I was done! No catch. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people that were on the list, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical because it seemed so easy and a I was a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! After reviewing the pro檚 and cons of the investment I decided to carry out with it. I invested the measly $6.00 and guess what??... Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!! I was very shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps. Now let me explain to you how this works and most importantly why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.

    STEP 1:

    ?Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper ';PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.';

    ?Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of

    paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery.

    ?Next, place one paper in each of the 6envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase (PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST), your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing with this letter is creating a service. THIS IS









    ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!

    ?Now mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:



    1.Nate Coughlan, 151 Captain Nickerson Rd., S.Yarmouth Ma 02664

    2.Travanta Grier, 304 Willowtree Drive, Simpsonville, SC 29680

    3.Kyle Frisbie, 8545 W. Eden Dr., Littleton, CO 80127

    4.Brandon Sellers, 721 Center Dr., Chambersburg, PA 17201

    5.Michelle Brown, 11600 Audelia Rd. Apt#85, Dallas, TX 75243

    6.Sisera Crawford, 10465 Hideaway Trl, Fort Worth, TX. 76131







    STEP 2:

    ?After you have mailed out your letters creating a service and making this legal, take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.



    STEP 3:

    ?Change anything you need to in this article, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I believe there are close to 24,000 groups in USA alone). All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post the more money you make!



    DIRECTIONS ---HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS

    Step 1) you do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory.



    Step 2) Open a blank ';notepad'; files under accessories in windows and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.



    Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to.



    Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)



    Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. After you have completed these steps you are done with your first posting Congratulations you are that more closer to easy money! THAT橲 IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT AND REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST a MINIMUM OF 200** Now the WHY it works part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 reply search, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15, 625, 00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!How can i make money fast you say?
    This is a called a pyramid scheme. It is unsustainable, and IS, in fact, illegal in the US. Check this. . .

    Thanks to new inspiration, this is my new post on annoying people. (Again, sorry it takes a million years to read, trust me, it took a million years to TYPE!!)

    By the way, most of my posts are from GetAmused.com

    Agree to organize the company Christmas party. Hold it at McDonald’s Playland. Charge everyone $15 each.



    Ask people what gender they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.



    Arrive at a meeting late, say you’re sorry, but you didn’t have time for lunch, and you’re going to be nibbling during the meeting. During the meeting eat entire raw potatoes.



    Attach a sign that says ';FAX'; to the paper shredder. Sit and watch to see how many people fall for it.

    Every five minutes, announce (very loudly) that you have to go to the bathroom



    Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.)

    What was the whole point of this anyway?

    But, I liked it!!!

    Does anyone know any get rich schemes? I have found one that works.?

    GET RICH QUICK!!!!!







    IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S LEGAL!!!!!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it a little while back, I was browsing through news groups just as you are right now and came across a article similar to this saying that you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!! So, I thought yeah right. This must be a scam, but like most of us, I as curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send one dollar to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then delete the first address and change the numbers. ( 2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, 4 becomes 3, etc. Place your own name and address at number 6 and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. (there are thousands) No catch that was it. Therefore, after talking to a few people and thinking it over I decided to try it. What do I have to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00 right? Then I invested the measly six dollars. WELL GUESS WHAT!!! Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!!! I was shocked. I thought it was going to stop but it just kept coming. In my first week, I made $25.00. By the end of the second week, I had $900.00. In the end of the third week, I made $5,000.00!!! It's still growing right now. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $38,000.00! Moreover, it's still coming in rapidly. This is certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps. I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly why it workslso make sure that you print a copy of this article NOW so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you possibly thought just by doing something so easy!! SUGGESTION: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY (Print it out or down load it) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And your investment is only $6.00 (plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: please follow these directions exactly and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become a part of the mail order business. In this business, your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing a mailing list. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality list. However, the money made from the mailing list is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included to that list. Here are the four steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper write the following on each piece of paper ';PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.'; Now get 6 us 1dollar bills and place ONE inside EACH of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. MAKE SURE THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase your name and address and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So, I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!!! Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses. #1)Brian Thompson 15 Briggs Pond Wy. Sharon, MA 02067 #2) M.W. Williams 52887 Mary Martin dr. Chesterfield, mi. 48051 #3) Aaron Dorsey 839 Balls Bluff Road Leesburg, VA 20176 #4)Mark Medvedev 4132 Clifton Glendale Rd Spartanburg, SC 29307#5)William Henderson 15635 F.M. 2728, Terrell, TX 75161 #6) Francheska Freeman 119 Redbud Drive, Forney, TX 75126: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, and add YOUR name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as original as possible. Now post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. ( I think there are 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post , the more money you make!** EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO THIS BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES!!!!** This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to title 18 sec. 1302 %26amp; 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for your self and whenever you need money, you can use it again and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way, if you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, on either a computer or a hard copy and keep the notes people sent you. This verifies that you are truly providing a service. (Remember to wrap the $1 bill in the note to prevent mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a list developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 spot you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1 for each of the six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!

Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive.

Now each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1 made the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 people respond to the original 5 people. That is another $25 for me. Now those 25 people make the MINIMUM 200 post with my name at number 3 and only 5 replies each, I will make $125. Now, those 125 people post the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #2 and only get 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626! Ok, now here's the fun part each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM 200 with my name at #1, I will receive $15,625!!! With an original investment of $6!!!! AMAZING!!!! . When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest postings in the news groups and send out another $6 to names on the list putting yourself at #6 and start posting again. Thousands of people are joining the internet each day and they are reading articles like these just as you are right now. So this can never be played out just keep it going and you can make tons of money too!!!! Please try it now and make big bucks in a few short weeks!!!!!!Does anyone know any get rich schemes?

    Shoplifting in Florida, Need help please........?

    Your Undecided QuestionShow me another 禄

    I shopllifted in Sears FL, No police involve, Now what gonna happened?

    I just got caught shoplifting at sears in Florida. I honestly didn't intend on stealing, but they made me angry because I was waiting ( more than 40 min.) and waiting to pick up my stuff but they have no clue where is my item is. Any way this is not a excuse to switch the price tag. After that I bought item and then when going out they got me.. I am 37 years old and this is my first offense. They took my information and made photo copy of my driver license and then let me go. They took my sign on two forms ( 1. stated that I got caught doing shoplifting and sears lawyers going to contact me about this incident and one more I don't remember ). No police involved. Item was on sale for $19.99. I switched price from $19.99 to $7.99. They told me I am not allowed in sears any more. I have clean records. This thing happened 3 weeks ago. They did not give me any notice or paper the time I left the store. As of today I did not receive anything in the mail. I recently changed my address(residence) and also requested in Post office to forward my mail to my new address.

    My questions are: 1. What going to happened to me.

    2. Do I need to call sears to give them my new address and phone number.

    3. How long I am not allowed to go to the sears.

    4. How long sears keep record of shoplifters ( under $20)

    5. In case they send me some paper (or fine $) and I am not able to receive because of the transition of address change, are they going to issue a warrant for me?

    6. Am I allowed to go to the KMART or not because now Kmart is part of sears.

    7 Do you thing police going to involve in my case?

    8. How I can find out If I have any charges against me in court or store.

    They did not give me any letter or form about charged and court dates.

    9. How much will being charged with shoplifting ?



    10. Am I able to order stuffs from sears.com or not.



    11. Is any time limit to receive civil demand fee letter or charges against me from the store. I am asking this because saw on web ';someone did not get letter or charges from store until this day and they shoplifted 2 years ago.



    12. Is any time limit for store to fill charges against me?





    14. Also I heard that only the store keeps the record where was shoplifting happend then how come other sears location out side the city or state going to know about me. and how they can arrest me if I shop their ?



    Please help meShoplifting in Florida, Need help please........?
    you'll have to pay a fine .. A $250 an you can go into Sears, just not that one.Shoplifting in Florida, Need help please........?
    Probably nothing, they want to scare you. Since the item was under $20 its a misdemeanor so cops not needed. If you get caught again they will call the cops but they won't bother with any legal stuff over $20.
    Refer to the last time you posted this question. There are plenty of good answers there.
    you are 37 years old? gawd, this world is messed up.. to even think you took the time to write out 14 questions as if someone was going to be your personal research assistant... yeesh.

    I need your input please!

    Our 1st interviewing officer on 2003 did not believe that we were married for love but for illegitimate reasons.I'm a citizen of the United States and my husband was born in Morocco and he came here with a student visa in 1998.



    2nd interview was on Feb of 2006 that day my husband got his fingerprints done as well., On September 2006 we moved (but stayed in same borough) and immediately change our address online, completed and changed the address change form, changed our address at the post office. I check the case online almost everyday. We also call the costumer service # every other month and we had 2-3 Infopass appointment since then. The message is always the same “the case is pending at the processing site.”



    On Oct 25, 2007 we got a letter stating that 2 letters has been sent for my husband informing us of appointments to go for fingerprinting and because he failed to go the case was now DENIED (bold front too) no chance to appeal. Also his Employment Authorization was canceled and if he did not file a motion to reconsider (which cost $585 dollars and one and a half year to approve) with in 30 days he would be deported. We never received those letters. We have all this prove that we have been trying to find get information on the case, so how can we not go to the fingerprint appointments.

    I talked to a lawyer and she said that it all seems as if it was their error, still there is nothing we can do but to file the motion to reconsider because immigration would still require it.



    November 06, 2006, went to our previously schedule infopass appointment and we explain to the immigration officer that we never got the letters and that we did move. We show her all the papers that we had on the previous infopass and the paper that they sent us very time that we called the costumer service. She then checked the case online and saw that it still said that the case is pending at the Processing site. The officer asked us to make copies of everything that we had and to bring it back to her, we did, she said to go home and that they are going to review the case and get things sorted out. The officer also said that we should be receiving something from them within a week and that if we did not get anything to schedule and infopass before the 21st of November.



    I’m also subscribed to Visajourney.com (an online forum for immigration base community where users discuss their experiences with their immigration cases). I was instructed by the forum users to go to my congressman’s office and explained the case to him. I took their advice (after waiting a week for immigration to send me a response) and I managed to see an immigration specialist at the congressman's office. I explained the case to her; she saw the USCIS had made a series of error on our case. She immediately called someone at the USCIS and asked to see when they got our AR-11 form; the lady on the other side confirmed that they got the form on Oct-03-06. After a serious conversation about our case with the officer at the USCIS, she (immigration specialist) faxed a letter to them stating the following:



    ”Pending i-485; this case was denied on 10/25/07 based on ';No show'; for Biometrics (see pert. info.) appt.: The Pet. and Bene. Submitted an AR-11 and was receipted on 10/03/06; The Biometrics were scheduled for 05/31/07 %26amp; 02/28/07 and sent to the old address listed; the FR prints expired on May 2007(see adit stamp from the old FR print appt. that was sent to the old address dated on 02/21/06; We are requesting on behalf of the Pet, %26amp; Bene. that a ';service Motion'; be reconsider base upon the findings that is stated above (AR-11); service motion; service motion; service motion: Please Advise.”



    As advised by the officer at our first infopass on Nov-06, we made another infopass for nov-20. We went to the infopass and after checking on the case the first thing that she asked us was, if we had gone to our congressman. I responded yes, we did. She then said that because we did that the case is being look into by somebody else in another department. The officer also checked the system further and she saw that they still had the old address in what she called ';the old system';, she then updated the ';old system'; so that when they finish reviewing the evidence, the decision would be sent to the new address (after all this they still had the old address in the system). I told the officer that by the time in which they decided to reopen the case or not, it would be outside of the 30 days and if they decide not to reopen, can we still do the motion to consider. The officer said that it's being reviewed as a motion to reconsider. She said that we should be receiving something within the next couple of months. Finally some good news, that means we do not have to pay the $585 plus 1500 to our lawyer to do the motion to reconsider.



    Finally some uplifting news, USCIS decided to do the service motion and reopen the case. They sent 2 fingerprint appointment, sent him to a civil surgeon, and 2 appointment for another interview (different date) one for the 1st of Feb and another one for the 5th of Feb. We had to bring copies and original of the affidavit, lease, and so on once more. We decided to go with our lawyer and it was a good thing to do because there were 2 immigration officers this time interviewing us. They said that because someone decided to do the service motion they wanted to make sure that it was not because they felt pressure to do so by our congressman.



    February 1st, 2008. The interview was intense; they were asking lots of questions. They asked my husband why he failed to show for the fingerprints, he explained to them that we had moved and that same month we sent the change of address form. She asked if we had copies of the AR-11 form because they had no record that we've ever sent it to them. I knew for a fact that they did received the AR-11 form because of the conversation that the immigration specialist had with an office at the USCIS but whatever. In the end they told us they will review the case further and make a decision. They wrote pending in my husband passport and said that that was all. After all we have been through I was expecting them to stamp my husband passport right there but on the other hand at least they didn't deny it again.



    It’s has now been six month since our interview and we had not heard anything from the USCIS so I decided to call and ask for information about the status of the case. 07/10/08 we received a letter from the US citizenship and Immigration services informing us that the case is under review and that we should receive something within 60 days of the letter.



    We work, pay bills and out taxes. What is the problem? I think this is just because my husband is Moroccan. My husband says that if he doesn't get his green card this year, he will go back to see his parent no matter what happens.

    I need your input please!
    don't listen to those stupid people who give stupid answers; trust that you'll find them everywhere. okay here: you said ';we work, pay bills and our taxes.'; does this mean your husband already has his work permit? if he does, just keep working, paying your bills %26amp; taxes, just keep living %26amp; keep following the exact steps USCIS gives you. and I hear work permit renewal could take up to a year so just time it as best fit. We hope all goes well; you'll suceed! if you have any questions, send a message.... Good Luck!I need your input please!
    Better get an Immigration Lawyer pretty Quick.

    I am about to move out how much heads up do i need to give my utility companies?

    Do i simply have to change my address with the post office? Also does the post office only foward your address for 6 months?I am about to move out how much heads up do i need to give my utility companies?
    I am a REALTOR in NC. For utility companies, 3-5 days is sufficient, just specify the date that you want the utilities transferred. No less than 3 days though. You can perform a change of address on www.usps.com or with your local post office. They forward your mail for 1 year.I am about to move out how much heads up do i need to give my utility companies?
    call them s,a..p
    The post office forwards addresses for 12months unless you indicate on the change of address form otherwise. Give your utilities a call about a week in advance and they will usually shut them off on the day you move. That is what I did recently and everything turned out fine
    You should call to transfer your utilities about 3-4days before you move, I'm not sure how many months the post office forwards,



    just make sure the next person who has your previous address has your current address with them %26amp; have them put a sticker inside their mailbox with your name %26amp; new address on it ,

    so the post office knows before they even deliver an item to your old address, that you are not there anymore.
    If you want service were you are moving to, then you better call a couple of weeks in advance.
    We usually schedule all utilities to be turned off at a specified future date but we do that as soon as we know for sure that the tenant is moving out.

    As to changing your address go here

    Changing your address from the US postal service: https://moversguide.usps.com/?referral=U

    Wish you the best
    No. Call the Utility company and have them stop serviceon the day you move out. And, make sure you call. I made the mistake of not calling, and the landlord ran up a $500 bill on my dime.



    it took me years to get it taken off my bill
    The USPS will forward all 1st class mail for 12 months. It will forward magazines and periodicals for 3 months. It is always a good idea to notify the USPS of your change of address at least one week before you move, in case there is a question.

    (Nearly 1 in 4 Change of Address forms are filled out improperly. Most because people do not take the time to completely read the instructions.)

  • Help please? post office issues\?

    I am live in vancouver and i am moving somewhere else in vancouver. I know that i need to change my address and i know how.. However I am slightly confused. When you change your address does that mean that when someone sends you an artical of mail that it will be redirected to your new address. or does it mean that who ever recieves your mail at your old address sends back to the post office and then the post office sends it to your new address?

    Does this still mean i have to contact the tax place... credit cards and all the other bills or will canada post do it for me...

    please get back to me.. i am very confused with this.. thank youHelp please? post office issues\?
    All you need to do is fill out a change of address form. All mail will be forwarded to you. Then as you get credit cards and other things just fill out the forms they have to change the address. There is usually a box on the front you check then fill out the back.

    Why is it that the postal service charges you $1 to change your address online? You'd think it would be free.?

    I think it is kinda lame that USPS can charge you money for changing your address online. You can print the form online but you still have to pay the price of a stamp to send it in. With the form you get at the post office you pay nothing. You would think that by doing it online you are saving them time %26amp; money so they would have it be free. How lame though.Why is it that the postal service charges you $1 to change your address online? You'd think it would be free.?
    Speaking of lame. You are charged a dollar so that your IDENTITY can be verified.



    At least one of the addresses you submit must match the address of record on the credit/debit card you use.



    If you already know about the postage paid COAs available at the PO, why aren't you getting yourself one?

    After you fill out a change of address form does the post office send notice to your old addresses?

    I was just wondering if the post office would send a notice to your old address so that whoever moved in would know if they got any mail with my name on it what my new address is. It worries me though that people I don't know will have my address if this is true. Also, how can I change my address completely without it just getting ';forwarded'; for like a year. I haven't gotten any mail yet and it's been about 2 months since I filled out a change of address form. I did get something saying that they got my change of address form though. help!!After you fill out a change of address form does the post office send notice to your old addresses?
    Yes, they would. They have to send notice in case it's a mistake, or maybe someone trying to commit fraud and/or identity theft. Go to your old address and ask if any mail has come for you. Also, what date did you put on your form for the change to take place? Check with the Post Office too.

    How reliable is post office change of address?

    I am about to move and I will still have access to my old house but it is not that close. I am expecting some important mails within the next couple of months and I can not really change my address with them. I am thinking about doing a mail forwarding with the post office but I am not sure if it is reliable. If for some reason the post office fails to deliver to my new address, would the mails still go to my old address? I just do not want the mails to be sent back to the sender - I would be really screwed if that happens.



    Thanks for your tips.How reliable is post office change of address?
    It is very reliable. You can assist the PO by doing some of the address changes yourself--your bank, credit card companies, magazines, etc. Be advised that some mail CANNOT be forwarded such as child support checks. That mail is returned to the sender and gives them your new address.How reliable is post office change of address?
    It's not very reliable at all my friend...

    I recently moved from Idaho to Wisconsin and have not had my mail forwarded to me in 21 days.

    21 days without mail,And it's pissing me off very badly.....

    If you file a change of address with the post office, will they take the mail out of your old mail box?

    I filed a change of address form about a week after i moved. How do i get the mail that was mailed to my old address, prior to the change of address? will the post office get it automatically, or can i make a request or what?If you file a change of address with the post office, will they take the mail out of your old mail box?
    The first thing you should have done when you knew you were moving was to file a change of address. So, the mail that went to your old address could be forwarded to you by the new occupants of the address you left. If no one is at your old address to take care of your old mail, then you might be able to go pick up your old mail, the mail person can not do that for you, not part of their responsibility.If you file a change of address with the post office, will they take the mail out of your old mail box?
    go pick up your mail
    The only way you can get your old mail is if the new tenants

    sent the mail back and it was first class, or if you go to the

    old residence and ask the new tenants if any of your mail has

    came, and then ask them if they will hold on to any that may

    arrive , or put the new address onto each one, and return it.



    Whenever you move you should file a change of address

    immediately, even way before you move, as it takes a few

    weeks sometimes, before it is established that you have

    a new address.You can see why with all the mail that goes

    out each day, so you have to expect the delay automatically.



    If the mail you are waiting to receive was first class, and only

    first class, you might be able to retrieve it if it was returned.

    Good Luck and hope this helps!
