Quote from: Cgault on February 18, 2012, 11:03 pmI have an alternate explanation:I don't think anyone is trying to frame or set you up. I truly believe that Customs and DEA are collecting vendors mail streams, then harvesting the "to:addresses", and then, without opening any packages whatsoever, they just send a letter to the addressees. So they have a prospective overseas vendor, they have grabbed a few packs and verified, confiscated, sent the letter (they opened one of mine and took the shit, and inserted the famous letter, and resealed with green tape. Once their investigation gets some legs under it, they start pushing towards the shipper, not the receivers, because that's where the money is, and they can't do much with the myriad small quantity buyers. Keep that in mind: They are pushing their investigations towards the shipper. Then once the shipper is ID'd (even with fake return addresses, they can make educated guesses, identify the source city and postal route, etc.) they start harvesting the recipient's addresses, but dont actually pull the packs, because there is millions of pieces of mail and its not feasible. So they mark a shipper, look for the recipient's address via the sorting machine OCR output, and send a letter - since they didn't open anything and confiscated nada, they had to guess what it was, especially if the vendor sells multiple items. Or, they are not sure what the vendor is selling at all, they just know that certain mail from the originating neighborhood is potentially dirty. The letter, its erroneous conclusion, and lack of evidence means you walk away for now. you might want to get another business mailbox, another drop, and get off the radar with no overseas orders for awhile.....and look around your home and make sure that there is no contraband in plain sight. They will probably take no further action as they didn't in my case. Don't call them, don't write them, even if says so. That is the best guess from here, they are pushing outward to the shipper. They are sending letters to the buyers without even inspection. The shippers should be securely warned, they are in higher jeopardy.Yeah I agree, it's the most rational conclusion.This emphasizes the importance of randomizing your return addresses and randomly choosing your drop off boxes etc, as well as moving about geographically if you're a high yield vendor.
