I always open them cause they sent me $4 once. They wanted me to send it back to them with some extra money. Because if the lord does something nice for you, you should do some even nicer for the church like triple their cash or some bullshit . But to hell with that, the way I look at it... the lord bought me 2 slices of pizza. And it tasted heavenly!
Me too, sometimes they contain money. But over here they most likely just contain a pen. Over here some 'charities' even send 5 euro cent coins begging you to send back more So they could help cleaning one smelly cat in Africa or whatever. Usually also contains pictures in a vague attempt to make you feel compassionate. I found it to be annoying at first. Because having 5 cent coins is useless. You almost never use them over here, so they just clutter your wallet. But in the Netherlands, we also have loads of charities collecting money at the door. So, I realised that those 5ct coins come in handy when some other charity is at the door.. Pop 5ct in the jar holding it between thumb and two fingers so they cant see what you're giving. And put it in loud enough that it sounds like you just gave a million billion euros. "thank you!!",... Yes and now bugger off. lol
+Rightclick88 Oftentimes here in the US these letters contain 50 cent coins, or $2 bills. It makes sense because they are rarely seen in circulation and they get people's attention. A few of them contain a 50 cent piece AND a penny, and I don't know why the extra penny is thrown in. Customers try to return them to sender, but they are only third-class letters which don't include return service. So the post office gets to keep the money. That's right! We can't recycle the letters or open them, so there's a window clerk in our station who is also a finance agent. She is the only one allowed to open those returned letters and account for all the money within. For the letter to go back to the sender, the customer would have to affix a first-class stamp.
EEVblog2 What kind of person can sleep at night knowing they exploit old people like that. Warped morality (if I don't do it someone else will) or do they genuinely believe their BS?
I've worked for a non profit that deals with seniors for over 10 years, and I've seen my fair share of these scams targeting seniors as it seem the older they get the more religious they get(not saying it's good, or bad make your own decision on that), and had one case where a lady got taken for nearly $15,000 US before her family realized what was going on, and it was too late to do anything about it, as the "Church of God's lambs" had packed up, and was never heard from again. Almost makes you want to strangle these idiots. We now have a program that tries to warn our seniors of this kind of stuff when a big one pops up, and how they can best avoid it from happening to them.
What? Using scam for another scam? Wh are you outraged by that? God is scam. Most of human society is scum on scum on scum. Seeing that this particular scam for what it is gets you just little bit closer to the reality.
If the return address is free of postage, (if that's a thing in Australia too), return a package filled with bricks or something. They will have to pay for it, and after a couple of times they will stop sending you this nonsense. Success guaranteed!
i wonder if u address it to them if u can cut the postage decal off the envelope and stick it on a box and send it that way if so american express is gonna get a bunch of ballast rock from the local railway
In the US a lot of this BS shows up with postage paid envelopes for your donation. I cut out my address and mail their crap back to them, along with anything else I've got in my trash that fits, just so they can pay for it.
No there's two ways of spelling it and two different meanings. Profit as in gaining money and prophet as in fake preaches who heal and tell futures and shit
i love this junk mail because it's usually on good high quality cellulose paper that burns really well, and it's good for starting a fire in a stove or fireplace.
You'll never believe what I just saw This Peter Popoff guy has a fucking late night INFOMERCIAL on the *DISCOVERY and SCIENCE CHANNEL*! My jaw was to the floor! So much for science!
LeiserGeist I'm not sure if that space is actually sold by Discovery or if it's filled by the local cable carrier (some slots can be locally filled). But it is always sad, even if sometimes oddly entertaining, to see such on an otherwise decent network late at night.
BTW, I looked into the address on those envelopes. Darling Park Tower 2, levels 20 & 21 are managed by Regus, a company renting out managed office space (basically cubicles). Most pobably, Popoff rents one or two spaces there and has his local employees just open all mail, take the cash out and throw out the rest.
dave your commentary is pure gold we need a junk mail bin for this channel cause your commentary makes the videos as good as they are yes someone can rip apart electronics and blab on but you have a good skill i vote for eev blog 2 to get a junk mail bin segment reviewing the bullshit spam mail like this and others cause your commentary makes it good to watch
On behalf of those of us Americans who have not lost our minds, I apologize to the people of the rest of the world for unleashing scammers like Popoff. Sadly, our ability to lock them up is limited.
IIRC, in Finland these letters are actually illegal, you need a permit for asking money without getting anything in return... It caused some issues with crowdfunding projects but maybe they have changed that now.
We have a Pitney Bowes postage machine at my business that produces the same postage marking on the envelope, and yes, as far as I am aware, the dollar amount displayed on the envelope, is what the business is actually paying, and already includes any relevant discounts.
I just feel so sad when I see videos like this. I just think if it was my mom who was in desperate need of help. And these monsters come along and prey on people. I hate them.
Are those scammers really that bad for society? Being scammed like this is like getting speeding ticket, but for being mentally lazy. Stupidity ticket.
WMTeWu The real problem is not so much the initial solicitation but what happens after the first time you send them money. Within a year, or several, even if you start off reasonably wealthy, you will be destitute in the end as they are very skilled at guilt tripping the vulnerable into sending ever larger donations if they are to be "saved", lest all their previous donations go to waste if they stop now (after all, who among us is truly free from past sin?). No matter who runs these scams, they all tend to progress in a common manner once the bait has been bitten. They really like to exploit the elderly and sick (especially if they are getting senile or very ill but still have a checkbook and access to their finances) as well as those who are extremely down on their luck (after all, what can't God's good grace deliver you from?).
Note the dates on the stamps. Several of them were sent on the same day, yet they always arrive on different days, so they must have been sent with an instruction to delay some of them to give the appearance that he's replying to the previous letter you sent back. For this scam to work, it's important that the victim feels they are responded to, but it's a lot of work to pack all these letters, even if the apparent ink writings are printed, so he probably has his team sending several at once to save time and effort. Because of course he has a team. He always had a team. It's not him sitting there and composing it all, he employs people to do that for him. He might even have been able to scam some people to do it for him for free. There is no way a single person can send thousands of letters every single day and add handwriting to them all, especially not with the names of the victims within the texts themselves. I've seen quite a few of these letters, and from what I've managed to analyze so far, the handwriting is the same on all of them, but they also say the same thing a lot of the time. In fact, comparing letters side by side shows a remarkable similarity in the handwritings, as if they were copied onto the letters rather than written. I also think that he might be using a macro to imprint the names of the victims, rather than having his workers replacing a placeholder manually, as none of the letters that has been made public has shown any errors so far, other than misspellings of names, and then it's always the same misspelling in every instance. That, with the IRS reports he has filed showing a profit of over 10 million US dollars a year, together with the postage costs, the costs for all the trinkets and the printing itself, the employment of people and the computer system he uses, the database maintenance etc. really shows how many people there is around the world that sends him these $27.11 or £20 to him. He's getting well over $12 million, 20 bucks at a time... mostly in cash.
With US postage, the amount on the postage is the amount that was paid. You'll see a lower price on domestic mail if they're getting a discount, but the rates are sent my the post office, not Pitney Bowes.
Sadly, I think my grandparents will fall for this, mostly because they're catholic and they'd probably believe that sort of thing. +Jim Griffiths I'd love to watch Dave throw all that junk mail at the bastard that opens the door. I wonder if anybody just signs family members (and in-laws), neighbors, and/or some guy at [fill-in-the-blank] just to exact revenge in this way.
Don't get these kinds of things anymore, i have a deal with my mail man, i give him a pack of beer, and anything that's not utility mail or law related (i don't receive anything else on that mail box, my family uses internet, and i have a different mail box for orders and official work) gets thrashed. But before that, i used to pile them up and use them as fire starters for when i'd burn my leaf pile in the autumn. They make for great kindle.
Seems that Darling Park Tower 2, Levels 20 and 21 is actually used for "virtual office space", so it does not seem like they have a physical adress there. Unsurprisingly.........
Decades back (late 60's early 70's?), some US TV news/investigative types managed to film the mail 'processing center' of one of those big time TV evangelist guys... what an operation! Must have been 80 or more people working. IIRC they had their own postal 'zip' code, complete full size truck loading docks, bill & coin counting machinery, security guards and regularly scheduled armored truck cash/check pick up's. The envelopes were opened/dumped assembly line style via machine, 'trusted' workers riffled through; currency was dumped through chutes in the floor and checks through others to processing personnel below. Coins were gravity extracted and went through to still others. The remaining envelopes, letters and/or anything else were funneled (all un-read) into enormous trash compactors and hauled off by teams of lessors... Don't recall how mailing lists were generated, it was likely in the days before direct mail solicitation... I'm sure there was more; don't recall anything about credit card payments or if they were even taken then... but I only caught bits & pieces as I was pre occupied and not particularly interested at the time. Would like to see that segment again...
If any of those letters say (or even imply) a threat against you for not complying with any instructions, and the return address is inside Australia, you can report the matter to the police since it counts as "using a carriage service to make a threat" which is a crime in Australia (that's a felony in Ay-merry-cun speak). I'm not sure if the federal police would carry out an international investigation if it came from overseas, but you could always try. Yes, threatening something as vague as "bad luck" for not complying still counts as a threat for the purposes of the law.
not only do people fall for this junk, but they make money. Not just on the postage, but the stuffing, printing etc which is often as much or more than the postage itself.
These scams by volume, the more they send out the more likely they will find a mark. Once they have found that mark, usually somebody with mental health issues, desperate or the elderly they can fleece them for large amounts of money.
Dave, I think their actually paying that rate and sending it from the US. I mean, it has the USPS PostNet barcode on the bottom (correct spot for envelopes) and the USPS sorting code. Plus the one has the Santa Ana post office cancelling mark on it.
Do you have any nice heavy mild steel parts from teardowns that you can put in those reply envelopes and send them? Without a stamp of course. I'm surprised it doesn't fall under fraud and deception in Aussie law anyway.
Yes you are right, they have to be pre-paid. I never thought of open them up. So I can open them up and use them on a box with some left overs from last fishing trip? I have always hated how that make my garbage smell. . Hmm I just have to seal it properly so it will not smell before they open it. :)
Well, if it makes you feel better, they don't cut down rainforests for making paper. They get the wood for that from purpose-grown plantations. Rainforests are just cut down to farm cows.
how do i get on his mailing list? one i never get any mail hardly and two i think it might be interesting to make a piece of art or display out of all the trinkets he sends out.
Is scamming really legal outside EU? Here that would count as false advertising as well as scamming and raise an international lawsuit. You can scam, but you can't hide!
Level 20 & 21 are probably just a marketing company. There was a video showing that the cheques are sent to a marketing company, and all the other bullshit that was sent in was trashed.
i was thinking if the scam mail had return envelopes that already have a prepaid postage then you could stuff the letters into the return envelope and then send it back. if my theory is correct peter would have to pay for postage for a that return envelope.
How could anyone in good conscious work for a telecongist like Peter Popoff. My draw dropped at the amount of spam mail you're getting from this charlatan.
Did some research, that address is a virtual office so someone just forwards the mail to the USA from there unfortunately, it's about $4358 AUD a year just to have the address and they then get charged for all the mail they need to receive and forward. The more people who send stuff to that address, the more it'll cost them.
i do it all the time with credit card offers i fill it with bullets that i ruined while reloading have to usually tape up the envelop with reinforced thread as it weighs about 2-4 lbs
I've found Jesus. . . doesn't exist! That's my new tee-shirt slogan but feel free to use it chaps! I love the skeptical approach, so common with those whose income depends on understanding how things actually work!! I bet many here have trodden a similar path!
Do you get this spam to your home mail box too? I was thinking maybe because its a PO box that maybe it's public record or something and that's why you get spam there.
Not only do they want your money, I see they expect you to pay the postage to send your CC details back to them (no reply paid on the return envelopes). Good thing is if you search for 'Peter Popoff' on CZcams the first few videos are either exposing his scams, showing he is insane, or satire.
I actually live right behind Oral Roberts University, can see the eternal flame from my back deck. Not as bad as a university as you imagine, actually have electrical engineering. I went to University of Tulsa for my EE and we competed with them in 2005, they're senior project was to build a copy of a commercial product, a panning cable camera mount. My wife worked for a prayer call center in college, don't think they handled Popoff, but made some bank on sublingual vitamins. Religion's some exploitable stuff in the flyover states!!!
Dave, you should use that horn when you come across potentially lethal products like the Chinese bare conduction water heater, seven peeps on the Rams Horn and a wa, wa, waaaaa.
I always open them cause they sent me $4 once. They wanted me to send it back to them with some extra money. Because if the lord does something nice for you, you should do some even nicer for the church like triple their cash or some bullshit . But to hell with that, the way I look at it... the lord bought me 2 slices of pizza. And it tasted heavenly!
one time we got some junk mail with $5 inside. helped buy gas for mowing the lawn
Me too, sometimes they contain money. But over here they most likely just contain a pen.
Over here some 'charities' even send 5 euro cent coins begging you to send back more
So they could help cleaning one smelly cat in Africa or whatever. Usually also contains pictures in a vague attempt to make you feel compassionate.

But in the Netherlands, we also have loads of charities collecting money at the door.
So, I realised that those 5ct coins come in handy when some other charity is at the door..
Pop 5ct in the jar holding it between thumb and two fingers so they cant see what you're giving. And put it in loud enough that it sounds like you just gave a million billion euros.
"thank you!!",... Yes and now bugger off. lol

You got to give it back god. What a fraud
Sad thing is, people fall for this.
Mostly old people
Yes, very sad.
EEVblog2 What kind of person can sleep at night knowing they exploit old people like that.
Warped morality (if I don't do it someone else will) or do they genuinely believe their BS?
At some level they genuinely do believe their own bullshit

People who use God to scam people are the absolute worst. I think its the ultimate in hypocrisy.
compactc9 its as low as you can go
compactc9 i always thought it was people who use it to subjugate or murder...
compactc9 the churches have been doing it for thousands of years
What? Using scam for another scam? Wh are you outraged by that? God is scam. Most of human society is scum on scum on scum. Seeing that this particular scam for what it is gets you just little bit closer to the reality.
All that mail, and all you got was a stupid horn.
That would make a cool tshirt
A plastic horn at that
If the return address is free of postage, (if that's a thing in Australia too), return a package filled with bricks or something. They will have to pay for it, and after a couple of times they will stop sending you this nonsense. Success guaranteed!
You should send them "magic" bricks, not just some junkyard rubbish :-)
(By their logic -> you can claim that you can make magic bricks :))
i wonder if u address it to them if u can cut the postage decal off the envelope and stick it on a box and send it that way if so american express is gonna get a bunch of ballast rock from the local railway
It's nigh impossible to get a response
Ima try that, send them piss and claim its holy apple juice
8:27 *sneeze* “sorry, I’m just allergic to all this religious bullshit”... one of the best lines.
I laughed so hard over the magic rope when you said tie it around my dick lol!!!
lol
In the US a lot of this BS shows up with postage paid envelopes for your donation.
I cut out my address and mail their crap back to them, along with anything else I've got in my trash that fits, just so they can pay for it.
God will punish you. just kidding, I'm an atheist.
I think most of the religious evangelists got it wrong. It's *not* "I will pray for you", it's "I will prey on you".
"You will pay for me"!
I think he spelled profit wrong :-)
No there's two ways of spelling it and two different meanings. Profit as in gaining money and prophet as in fake preaches who heal and tell futures and shit
Are you ready for God to burn that cancer right out of you ?
He spelled profit right, profit for him$elf
I was raised in a household believing in God, and I still do. However, even I know this stuff is bullshit. lol
i love this junk mail because it's usually on good high quality cellulose paper that burns really well, and it's good for starting a fire in a stove or fireplace.
Did Peter Popoff notice your ACL videos, and think "There's a sucker that can give money for healing"?
no its because he's an Indiana Jones fan, look at 7:22
You'll never believe what I just saw
This Peter Popoff guy has a fucking late night INFOMERCIAL on the *DISCOVERY and SCIENCE CHANNEL*!
My jaw was to the floor! So much for science!

Those are postmarked from Santa Ana, CA. That's legit. They paid to mail those from the US.

all of us atheist should sign up for this, mess up their roi.
You no atheist no such thing your a idiot
I honestly can't understand how people can allow this to continue. It's really disturbing to know this is still happening...
Hmm, I should sign up for that, I could do with some free firelighting material this winter... :P
If they come with pre-paid postage envelopes everyone should send them back empty!
I just feel so sad when I see videos like this. I just think if it was my mom who was in desperate need of help. And these monsters come along and prey on people. I hate them.
I deliver mail for a living. I have about 20 people who fall for this bullshit. I feel bad for them, but it's not really my business to say anything.

How do I sign up for this?
The local newspapers don't deliver as often anymore, so we need more kindling.
I love those return envelopes
Last time I used it to get rid of some nice used nails that I did not need anymore.
only works if they are pre-paid but you can open those up and wrap them around larger items like old magazines so that they have to pay the excess
Yes you are right, they have to be pre-paid.
I never thought of open them up.
So I can open them up and use them on a box with some left overs from last fishing trip?
I have always hated how that make my garbage smell.
.
Hmm I just have to seal it properly so it will not smell before they open it. :)
I feel bad for all the rainforests cut down for bullshit letters like this...
Well, if it makes you feel better, they don't cut down rainforests for making paper. They get the wood for that from purpose-grown plantations. Rainforests are just cut down to farm cows.
They are being mailed from the US. You can tell because the yellow envelope has a postmark from Santa Ana here in California.
how do i get on his mailing list? one i never get any mail hardly and two i think it might be interesting to make a piece of art or display out of all the trinkets he sends out.
i want one of those rams horn to drive my wife crazy
At least he's wasting his org's money sending you that garbage. If only he wasn't wasting the paper.
I can confirm that these are sent from the US. The zip code on the postage stamp is from Upland California. Pretty sad indeed.
he needs thrown in jail he's the devil begging 4 money
1) gods name is not Jehovah
2) Miracles are free
3) You don't get to choose what you want and when you want or if you even deserve it.

ah, i always shake my head at popof when i see him on TV, im just as surprised as you, that he's still going, especially at those mail prices XD
Is scamming really legal outside EU? Here that would count as false advertising as well as scamming and raise an international lawsuit. You can scam, but you can't hide!
This guy would make money if he just stopped sending junk mail.
Level 20 & 21 are probably just a marketing company.
There was a video showing that the cheques are sent to a marketing company, and all the other bullshit that was sent in was trashed.
If the return envelope is paid by the recipient, fill it with sand, or led shot or something, so they get a TON of postage on it.
Great idea xD
i was thinking if the scam mail had return envelopes that already have a prepaid postage then you could stuff the letters into the return envelope and then send it back. if my theory is correct peter would have to pay for postage for a that return envelope.
That stamp has a US zip code it is Upland California and looks to be about 100 miles or so east of LA.
How could anyone in good conscious work for a telecongist like Peter Popoff. My draw dropped at the amount of spam mail you're getting from this charlatan.
Strange that so many of those letters don't have return addresses. Generally you can't send U.S. mail without one.
I saw at least two different addresses to you in this pile of mail, so perhaps you have been added more than once?
What a bloody waste of the mailman's time
Did you calculate how much he already spent on you?
I did as he was flipping through them, combined with the last batch, everything video'd is about $35.
Maybe you can heat your home by burning popoff spam, or make a steam engine to lion charger.
I think you should get all of your viewers to sign up to his mailing list, just to troll him into wasting even more money.
08:17 - Dave, you should soooo take a visit to that building and knock on the door. I'd love to see who runs that place!
The amount printed on the envelope is the discounted amount.
Another very special mailbag
6:41 that's CLEARLY the voice of God
Did some research, that address is a virtual office so someone just forwards the mail to the USA from there unfortunately, it's about $4358 AUD a year just to have the address and they then get charged for all the mail they need to receive and forward. The more people who send stuff to that address, the more it'll cost them.
I think I'll be returning the envelopes then!
+1Dudelove Nah, lead gives you more bang for the buck :D
i do it all the time with credit card offers i fill it with bullets that i ruined while reloading have to usually tape up the envelop with reinforced thread as it weighs about 2-4 lbs
In Britain to popoff means to fart, wich makes this even more hilarious
before my mom past away she would always read them and write back and send money I hope this isn't real she sent so much money and trust in this man
Not blowing the China ram horn 7 times- You are proper effed ;)
that makes his peter pop off?
I just found your channel I’m crying right now your are funny as hell 🤣
Kind of scary actually, that is textbook psychotic behaviour.
I've found Jesus. . . doesn't exist!
That's my new tee-shirt slogan but feel free to use it chaps!
I love the skeptical approach, so common with those whose income depends on understanding how things actually work!! I bet many here have trodden a similar path!
Do you get this spam to your home mail box too? I was thinking maybe because its a PO box that maybe it's public record or something and that's why you get spam there.
Just get all the return envelopes and fill them with other junk mail send em back to him !
I cracked up at "we've got a magic rope, probably gotta tie it around my dick or something"
This video is Comedy gold dave.
lol I was just blowing my nose after sneezing myself when you sneezed. I must also have an allergy to BS :P
Not only do they want your money, I see they expect you to pay the postage to send your CC details back to them (no reply paid on the return envelopes).
Good thing is if you search for 'Peter Popoff' on CZcams the first few videos are either exposing his scams, showing he is insane, or satire.
How much money does it cost these people to send these... how do they even make profit?!?!
Do they include postage paid return envelopes? I fill them with rocks and send them back.
I actually live right behind Oral Roberts University, can see the eternal flame from my back deck. Not as bad as a university as you imagine, actually have electrical engineering. I went to University of Tulsa for my EE and we competed with them in 2005, they're senior project was to build a copy of a commercial product, a panning cable camera mount.
My wife worked for a prayer call center in college, don't think they handled Popoff, but made some bank on sublingual vitamins.
Religion's some exploitable stuff in the flyover states!!!
I laid my faith on it & got $3k the first time, out of debt, one thing I refuse to state and $11k.
That was soooooo funny...funny funny funny😂🤣
I put the junk back into the provided pre-paid envelope and send it back.
Such a waste of mail service resources.
Just as bad as Kenneth Copeland and Jesse duplantis
Wow, that's a shit load of junk mail. Someone must have signed you up!
Dave, you should use that horn when you come across potentially lethal products like the Chinese bare conduction water heater, seven peeps on the Rams Horn and a wa, wa, waaaaa.
I shred his letters and send them back to him in his return envelope.
Bahahaha I signed my neighbor up for this.
DownHooligan...now that's funny must do the same
That kind of shit never makes it into my house. I tossed in the trash on the way in.
