Vendor used return address with same last name as me... Bad opsec?

Most of the time I receive packages with business return adresses or something else. Never encountered this, is it bad opsec?

No.

it happened to me once and i was almost happy about it because i thought it was genius, especially since i find it easier to believe a family member would use stamps vs. a business using stamps.

Depends. If it looked like a birthday card or something your family would send you then no. If it looked like a business I would say bad.

How is it bad Opsec receiving drugs from your family members?


[3 Points] degr3e:

The whole "personal mail" vs "business mail" debate is ridiculous. People send stuff to their kids and family EVERY DAY. I personally think personal mail is less sketchy, because a family member is a lot more likely to be putting stamps on priority mail packs than a business is. A business will just use click and ship or something similar.

Lol this is genius for stamps, name the vendor?

seems like the best bet if packaged to look like something personal...a pack from your mum maybe

Are you typing this from a jail cell? If not, I'd say we've got another success on our hands.

Good OpSec if his package profile looks more homemade than business like.

Interesting, I had a similar occurrence although the name was just weirdly similar wrote it off as a coincidence. Can you name the vendor?

Why would it be bad? I personally wouldn't do it, but I have relatives out of state that mail me stuff from time to time. Its a totally normal thing to do.
