They will write addressee unknown, return to sender on the invoice envelopes and leave them for the mail carrier to send back to the CD club. Eventually, the notices stop coming or the account is handed off to a collection agency. More invoices and notices come to the scammer s fake name, but that is all. The scammer never puts in a mail forwarding order for their alias or fake name. After they move, it is goodbye to those annoying invoices and incriminating notices forever.
Nobody really cares if the big mail-order CD clubs are scammed.
Some other methods mail-order predators use require using a dummy mailbox or a dummy apartment. They mount a false mailbox on the wall with other mailboxes that are there, and label it with a non-existent apartment number. Those apartments are generally slipshod in the first place and work out perfectly for a scammer. They usually have an array of mailboxes that do not bear the slightest resemblance to each other. The scammer buys the cheapest mailbox he can find at the hardware store and adds some years to it with a hammer or something so that it doesn t look shiny new.
