They have specialists who do nothing but investigate mail fraud. By using USPMO's, you are telling people that you are not likely to be defrauding them, because they are better than bank checks: they do not bounce, unless you are trying to cash a stolen one at the counter of the post office. So, our counter clerks always check mine against the stolen list, just to be sure. I also like to support the Post Office, because I have done massive amounts of business with them over some 25+ years and, in all that time, they have damaged or lost only ONE piece of mail: a magnetic tape which was on a truck involved in an accident that occurred in the rain. They routed the damaged package back to me, and offered to pay to replace it. I told the Postmaster there was no need to do that, because their service had been so terrific for so many years. We ate the replacement costs instead. Last, but not least, you may begin to notice, (now that I tell you this) that all post offices are monitored by closed-circuit televisions, which are writing a videotape with a time/date code on each frame. If anyone commits a crime in the post office, such as the abuse which I got recently from the defendant in my civil case, when I ran into him at my local post office, the whole thing is being videotaped with a time and date code on each frame. I know the counter clerks so well, I merely had to pass one of them a brief note requesting security, and within 30 seconds, security was there to escort me into a private office, where I could easily monitor this man on the closed-circuit monitor. This also meant that I could witness the exact time and date being coded onto each frame with this man's face staring into the closed-circuit television camera! Anyway, when you are involved in racket busting as I am, this organization is really a godsend, in more ways than I can count. See Title 18 of the United States Code, for all the essential details. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com At 06:02 AM 8/26/97 -0500, you wrote: >On Tue, 26 Aug 1997, Gene Kwiecinski wrote: > >> >> What's the reason a lot of people who do sales by mail, or seminars, >> etc., specify *blank* PMOs?
