Why would a legitimate company need someone to forward their company mail through a private residence? Wouldn't they just mail their customers directly?

Now you know I had to send an email for more info! I'm sure it's either some type of scam or something not totally legal But I am curious. If I ever get a response I'll let ya know. Should be funny!

[jamiemac]

LOL! Ok, so I got a response. Did anyone else? Can I copy & paste the email response here?

Hi, Jamie!Yes, a lot of people do copy and paste responses. Just remove any inappropriate information (personal contact information, etc.) before you post. I'm sure everyone would like to see the reply!

I would be curious what is in these envelopes and like the above person said why they would send it to a residence to do this.
