They may have tried I received something that looked like a hospital
bill for someone I never heard of although the street address was
correct. I wrote 'wrong address' on it and through it in the outgoing
slot. The next day it came back. I crossed out the address with a red
pen reiterated the 'wrong address. return to sender'. Like the cat, it
came back. Next message was 'I've been at this address for 25 years and
that person has never lived here.' That seem to have done the trick.


Thar reminds me of when my father died. Then Moved (unrelated act). For
10 years I was getting mostly political) junk mail for him at an address
he NEVER lived at. I guess some information thief made a mistake.
