So i had great uncle who passed away a few years ago that lived in the in-law apartment below me, but the mail was never separated into units or suites. He still gets a constant stream of junk mail (mostly charities and insurance companies) Do you think its a good idea to use his name on a few orders? I control the mail in my house and this seemed like an extra layer of protection even if a little morbid
That's actually opening you up to a mail fraud charge on top of any other charges, and also looks rather suspicious, unless everyone you're ordering from ships their products so it looks like junk mail. Surely, your post office is aware of his death, but even if they're not, it'd be easy enough for them to find out. Postal workers might be fine delivering a steady stream of junkmail, but what if that junkmail stops, for instance? Then they're gonna start noticing the only things coming through are packages, and they may even notice that your great uncle hasn't been lurking about the place often.
Do I think it would work? For a time, probably. Maybe even indefinitely. Does it provide any further protection? No, probably not. As soon as they know you're receiving drugs to your address, they're going to be trying to figure out exactly who is receiving them... Especially if they check the background on the name on the pack and notice that it's a dead person.
