I love it when scam artists are so embarassed about the companies they "represent" that they don't put their names on stupid letters like this. Only the lame or dumb couldn't figure it out - took me and Google 15 seconds to find TXEN Partners, LLC operating this schlock business.

I had a couple of thoughts in mind ..

(1) Use the postage paid envelope label they were so STUPID to include -- bag up 5-10 bricks and mail it back to them. My guesstimate was the USPS charge they would have been hit with about $300!

(2) The second was to hit their 800 # with about 3,000 auto dial-backs from one of my alias phone ##'s .. probably another surprise when they saw their phone bill. No charge to me !

Or, (3) give a buddy of mine at the AG's (US Attorney General) office a call and let him irritate them for a few months.

I'm open to suggestions about which plan to take 1, 2, or 3 - yes I'm feeling a bit feisty today

I would do one!

Call and ask for another letter since you miss placed the first one and send it again!

Although I had no direct knowledge of and would categorically deny and participation; In the 80's Handgun Control Inc, and Jerry Falwell were almost bankrupted when allegedly (I cannot recall what the statute of limitations on mail crimes is) people called and requested information, and then mailed the envelopes back stuffed with nickels, pennies, and game tokens on the pre paid envelopes. Very effective strategy. Very expensive, and really pisses the receiver off.
