DOJ certified letter?
 

I got a certified letter for a friend here in my mailbox(he using my address for mail) but hes too scared he doesn't want me to open it..:1orglaugh

Question is why would DOJ send someone a certified letter? :error

Why doesn't he open it and find out?

Avoiding the issue isn't going to make it go away.

a "friend" is you?

no if it were me i'd open and lawyer up if its something serious.. not that silly..

So steam open it, if it's bad re-seal and return to sender writing "recipient not here" or "wrong address" on the envelope.

hahaha might be a good idea :1orglaugh

So you are being used as a mail drop and receive a letter from DOJ? Nice friend. Did you sign for the letter?

no dude..my friend lived here with me for 2yrs.. he moved to a diff state but i still get all his crap here.. so i got this letter.. phoned him..and thats why i posted here.. im gonna mail the letter to him but im curious what could be in the letter..

i guess what im asking in essence is if they were trying to arrest him they wouldnt send a letter?

i was just curious because i never knew DOJ sent letters to people..

i envision someone busting your door open at 4am.. "FREEZE MOFO" dont move..

budget cuts, they don't have $$ to arrest people anymore... so now they send letters so criminals can turn themselves in... :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

"accidentally" open it and tell us what it is. Please.

.

Probably a summons. They'll try again.

must be civil then?

didn't know they sent criminal summons via mail

Why are you so scared? Do you do shady stuff?

Why post if your not going to tell

Probably a warning to be nice on the internet.

.

ended up not opening it and send it off to him sorry fellas.. no drama here..

Correct. This story is not only dull, but 100% bullshit.

DUH.. did u read my posts early in the thread.. his mail comes to me... all of it.. since he lived here for a while.... i got this a few days ago, and im gonna send it off i wont open it..

:thumbsup

Keep deflecting the fact that you must sign for a certified letter, it strengthens your fabricated story.

Certified mail doesnt end up in your mailbox :1orglaugh

Not sure if the Feds do it, but some local/state agencies do. A friend of mine got charged in a robbery once, and was charged with armed robbery, kidnapping and a few other lesser crimes. He was sent a letter before they came to his house. Two days after he got the letter we were drinking and he decided to turn himself in the next day. An hour after I left they busted his door down.

I think xxweekxx just wet himself.

if you have the letter its too late in their eyes you got it. Minds well open it and see what it is.

burn the lab and run! :1orglaugh

Umm some of you are narrow minded thinkers..

I live in a downtown condo in a beautiful city in cali.. we have a door man who signs for ALL PACKAGES, FEDEX,UPS,USPS..

Now i have a friend who lived with me for a while because he didnt have a job and was looking for something to do in LA..

Anyway, i come home, i see i have a new letter in my condo box(ITS HIS CERTIFIED LETTER FROM DOJ).. makes sense now?

Im not stupid, ive been in this business all my life..IF I HAD A LETTER i would fucking open it ASAP and then lawyer up if needed to.. I WOULDNT SIT HERE asking you guys what is in the letter? jeez....

anyway carry on.. i forwarded it to the dude and sadly i dont know whats in there...besides i wouldnt do anything stupid enough to get me sued or get in trouble.. I value my freedom too much and ive been around way too long

Crappy ending. I want my money back.

You could have at least lied to us. Maybe around noon say you may open it. Start questing the steam method around 3. Then by 6 you open it and post that it says many porn sites are being investigated for something.....

I'd still be careful about the situation. You definitely do not want to keep acting as a mail drop as that is usually illegal in many jurisdictions. Make your friend file a forwarding address with the post office.

As for the letter it could be many things. Maybe they want him as a witness in an investigation?

Should have marked it "RTS: Moved" and returned it.

nah a lighter and poof. your prints may be all over it

letter
 

Open the letter. See if it's something simple, call the local US Attorney's office and explain how you received the letter via doorman and accidentally opened it and explain he moved.

Something bad, call your friend first, then call the local US Attorney's office and explain how you received the letter via doorman and accidentally opened it and explain he moved. If it's bad they'll find him anyway and not bust your door down.

People open mail accidentally all the time by not looking at who it is addressed to. Just assume if it's in their mailbox it's theirs.

If the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE is sending mail to your house, and your friend is using your mailing addresses, you should open that email. If he's in trouble with the DOJ and didn't tell you, he's no friend of yours. If he didn't know about it, opening the mail will help him out. If he's a scumbag, opening the email and calling the DOJ about it makes you a good citizen. If you're letting him use your mailing address but he's doing something illegal where he has to claim your address as his own, you are a better friend to him then he is to you. Regardless, you probably don't want to fuck around. Open the letter, call your lawyer, protect yourself.

:2 cents: :thumbsup

Maybe a jury duty letter?

If it was from the DOJ they wouldn't check the box to let an agent sign it. It would have to be signed for by the person it is addressed to.

I call BS ...
Fedex, UPS, store delivery : will leave at a doorman , as the stats shows that it mostly reaches its destination

DOJ certified letter : they don't leave that at the doorman ... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Now, letter is probably not certified ... and you should just have written on the front :

MOVED .. UNKNOWN ADDRESS with a big arrow pointing to sender ....

That what I did when the previous occupant of my residence left with a rented GM car , did npot pay his bills ... I got a single bailiff that showed up , and he looked in my mailbox before which gave him a hint I was not the guy he was looking for ..

anyway ...

Jury Duty
 

Those come certified from The United States District Court District of " " and say JURY DUTY on the front.


Anybody at the delivery address can sign for a certified UNLESS the sender marked the Restricted Delivery box.

Your friend probably had some old business with them and forgot to update his address when he moved.

LOL. probably said pay the fine or we send the sheriff around to your house on wednesday to reclaim goods to the value of $400k or seize your property. Hope he tells you what was in it.

next week's thread:

DOJ kicked in my door!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

no mailman will "sign" a certified letter as the recipiant and leave it I can 110% assure you. If you signed for it don't matter if you open it or throw it in the trash, the DOJ assumes you read it. Bottom line ;)

If it were real important you would have a FBI card in your door :2 cents:

Be Careful...

It *could* be Anthrax...

In my country and state, which has a similarly named department, they also look after other things like consumer protection/fair trading. My wife freaked out when an official "justice" envelope arrived addressed to me - she thought I was in trouble for something, but it was actually a response to a complaint I'd made about a dodgy business. :thumbsup :1orglaugh
