Complaint Review: The Seniors Center

Ok, enough. Even after several month's worth of requests that my mother's name be removed from their mailing lists, these 'donbation requests" just keep coming. Be it "The Senior's Trust" or "The Seniors Center," it seems to me they are all the same people with different Post Office Boxes, fleecing the flock with dire omens and portends of the death of Social Security as we know it, or no COLA, or (fill in the disaster here). Enough.

My mother's caretaker has started saving me ALL their mailings going to my mother's address. I gather them on a weekly basis, and send them a "donation"... A BRICK. But not just a brick...it ESCALATES. As long as they continue to send mom their mailings (after REPEATED "cease and desist" letters), they will continue to receive bricks...each mailing, another brick is added to the "donation box." At FULL "First-Class Mail, Postage Will Be Paid By Addressee" rates. Let's see. a brick weighs about 6.5 pounds. That is 104 ounces...at $0.49 per ounce, that comes to $50.96 in postage that THEY pay...for just ONE brick.

Package number 2 is ready to go - 2 bricks, or $101.92 for our next "donation." We are quite willing to take this all the way up to the Post Office's maximum weight limit of around 70 pounds (or $548.80 in postage) if they so desire. At that point, we will begin sending the concrete bags to help with the construction of their new mail sorting facility.

Of course, we DO leave them an "out" - STOP SENDING US THESE MAILINGS.

Quite simple, actually...
