Why is it so normal to send people a bunch of paper in the mail?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Just my bank alone sends me an envelope every month to use their bank for credit, and they send me a whole little booklet of the benefits and bla bla, all that paper I know I'm just gonna throw away, by now I'd assume they wouldve given up already, send all that paper to a library or something, I pretty much have a wooden plank of this stuff by now, they spam me more than any spam 😂

When you discard your junk mail and just throw it in a trash can, people go through people's trash and can steal your identity.

I use a big black marker and black one my personal information so they can't use it

And my friend helps me shred the information sheet that the drug store sends along with my prescription. If someone finds that in your trash they can order YOUR prescriptions, plus they get your personal information.

I know it's a drag to do it, but we must be diligent nowadays.

Chico, ask if they do shredding for their customers. If they do, take a bag full of the crap they send to you and have them shred it.
You don't want the bad actors to know your personal information AND what bank you use.

They don't call it the dark web for nothin.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I haven't thrown any away but Ill make sure to remove the personal info if I ever decide to throw them away lol

I don't know but it’s so annoying… a bunch of junk mail these days… physically and digitally.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea it buries all the important stuff 😂

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

I'm thankful for the trash can right next to the mail box where I currently live. They just send it endlessly... and honestly I only look at the missing children and play the "which ones would I bang" game and then throw it in the trash.

[msc545]

Is a very handy place for a trash can. I wish mine was that close.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

@msc545 Out of all the places I lived, this one place got it right. Trash can is right there next to our boxes. Military housing so a closed community and they finally got that one detail right. I don't even have to move for all the mail that has someone elses name on it... I just slip it right into that outgoing box that is right there.

I wished other places could get all that shit right. I got to give it up to this place.

I’ve never done online banking I’m afraid of being hacked So I go to my bank and pay my bills the ones that the bank accepts And my Visa credit card bank card

[ChicoFromThe305]

You can always file a report and more than likely always get what you lost

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I would imagine but it’s a lot of trouble

[Iron_Man]

I don’t even know how to do e-checks. I’ve never even done it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

You mean the normal transfer? Its pretty simple, just like 3 button taps

[Iron_Man]

I would imagine I can handle it, but I’ve just never done that. I’ve always done it at the bank.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea going to the bank it's a classic old school way, if it's not broken don't fix it I suppose

[AngryCarl3]

They know most people toss that shit straight in the recycling but when some sucker responds they make an absolute mint.

[ChicoFromThe305]

😂😂😂

[Anonymous]

And then they have the nerve to ask you to go paperless or face a fee. Or at least my bank does.🤦‍♂️😆

[ChicoFromThe305]

Damn what bank is that 😂

[douride2]

That is odd. All I get from my bank is a monthly statement.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Those I get online lol

[douride2]

I don't online bank.

[ChicoFromThe305]

So you keep your money in a mattress like a narc? 😂

[msc545]

I think they're hoping that you sign up for something so they can take away more of your money.

[valentina4eva]

everything’s paperless hereee!!💁🏻‍♀️💃🏻💃🏻

[ChicoFromThe305]

I wish 😂

[ElenaLena]

Don’t get me started 🫠

[ChicoFromThe305]

I'll tell my bank to send you my spam as well, you must have a better disposal method than me 😂

[ElenaLena]

[ChicoFromThe305]

Leaving your home unguarded to find me and kill me would be your downfall, nobody to deny my mountain of spam 😂

[ElenaLena]

[WhitneySnow]

I have all that stuff on paperless

[ChicoFromThe305]

So email? That's even worse 😂

[WhitneySnow]

Maybe 😂

[exitseven]

junk mail is an effective advertising tool.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I think after the third time of sending the same person the same junk mail it's just a waste of money that I'm sure piles up 😂

[exitseven]

they get a bulk rate from the USPS.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Someone is paying for it and it ain't me 😂

[Kenkebuttery]

🤣🤣🤣
