Rarely in the UK people pay for a redirect. Other than that the Postal Seervice don't really know who lives where. If your getting post for an ex tenant, that redirect isn't in place.
But the postman who delivers the post will notice that he's delivering the odd bit of post for somebody who doesn't live there.

#42> ... the evidence of that drug deal may still be hanging around in plain view of law enforcement, even years after the Silk Road was torn off the dark web. How about your delivery address being in the merchant's raided servers?

Interesting. My experience is from central europe, or essentially the 3 german countries where people are heavily advised to use their real names.

#45Did I misread the article or does they're entire hack consist solely of scraping the internet for places you may have posted your public address? This is the oldest trick in the book.

Well, most people just put a fake name, or name of a previous tenant. Houses change ownership, people make mistakes.
This is in fact the last thing you should do according to every single buyer guide. Postal service would assume there is something fishy going on.
But the real reason you shouldn't do it is that you don't actually get any deniability. John Doe who used to live at my address is not going to order drugs and ship them to my address. Especially if he's moved any reasonable distance, or is dead, or incarcerated, etc. It's no less obvious than just shipping them to yourself.

#47I doubt prosecutors in the us at least are gonna care that you ordered shrooms from the Silk Road ten years ago. Might come up if they want to get a security clearance or run for office, though.
You never know how their orders may change, however. We’re seeing people deported for minor crimes committed decades ago, before they were legal adults, and most people would have said that wouldn’t happen until the last year or two. Another, in some ways more important, point is the reminder that all of the people who spent years spamming forums about how bitcoin is secure & anonymous are not good sources of advice…

I get at least 2 or 3 letters a week for previous residents of my house (and I've owned it for 10 years). Probably 1 or 2 packages a year too. (Yes I follow the recommended process for dealing with it.) UK: https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/...

After we started doing this we got a couple of letters from the likes of Zurich Ltd addressed "to the householder" explaining that they'd love to stop sending us junk, but they have to, and if we could give them any details about where the old residents might be, that would be great. I wished them luck and told them the best we knew they'd moved abroad, permanently, possibly to Turkey.
