I went to review something that is quite mundane. We\u2019re going to talk about mailboxes.<br \/>\n0:08<br \/>\nAnd, I\u2019m going to show you a very basic way to have some privacy.<br \/>\n0:13<br \/>\nI recommend this for people that have a sudden windfall or that feel unsafe, I guess. I want to have a little bit of privacy.<br \/>\n0:22<br \/>\nHere\u2019s an easy way to do it.<br \/>\n0:23<br \/>\nEven though you\u2019ll see, there\u2019s a little bit of loss of privacy, but you\u2019re gonna get effectively the kind of privacy you need, you\u2019re not going to be able to avoid, let\u2019s say for example an FBI investigation, but we don\u2019t really care about that.<br \/>\n0:40<br \/>\nWe just don\u2019t want someone who\u2019s, you know, trying to harass us or something like that or collect our information or do surveillance or whatever if you\u2019re concerned about that.<br \/>\n0:50<br \/>\nSo here\u2019s the simpler version.<br \/>\n0:52<br \/>\nSo, basically, now, I\u2019m just going to share, oh, one process that you can change. There\u2019s many variations on this. I\u2019ve used this one that I\u2019m going to explain right now. It used to be for quite effectively. I had a specific reason for doing it.<br \/>\n1:07<br \/>\nI may, I may tell you that at the end of the video, if I remember, you would want to open a mailbox service like a UPS store or service that can forward your mail.<br \/>\n1:18<br \/>\nSometimes you can use a virtual office.<br \/>\n1:20<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a place where you might pay, instead of 12 or 20 bucks a month, It might be $70 a month, or it might be $100 a month.<br \/>\n1:28<br \/>\nAnd like regus is an example of that, or intelligent office, these are virtual offices.<br \/>\n1:33<br \/>\nSo these are types of services where you could call him up on the phone and say, hey, I need to rent an hour or two, and I need a desk in a chair, and they will do that for you. And you come in there, and you\u2019d use use that space.<br \/>\n1:44<br \/>\nUm, what I used it for is just managing my mail, and I wanted to receive mail at an office location. So I did it that way. It was $70 a month, long time ago. You don\u2019t have to do it that way. You can just do a mailbox service.<br \/>\n1:58<br \/>\nThat might be 20 bucks a month might be eight bucks a month.<br \/>\n2:00<br \/>\nSo UPS Store is an example. So you go the UPS store. Now you can do this over the Internet. You can do this over the phone. Sandboxed services will not do this for you over the phone or the Internet, so you have to shop around a little bit.<br \/>\n2:12<br \/>\nI prefer to receive mail in a place where I\u2019m not located, where I\u2019m not going to easily get to, it\u2019s not in my town, it\u2019s not even in my county. It\u2019s going to be lots of times in another state.<br \/>\n2:24<br \/>\nSo get a UPS service and use form. It\u2019s Postal Form 1983. Now, I\u2019m gonna go over that in just a second. I\u2019m gonna, I\u2019m gonna switch over there and share a screen, but let me explain something.<br \/>\n2:36<br \/>\nYou\u2019re going to use.<br \/>\n2:38<br \/>\nIt\u2019s going to ask you for a home address.<br \/>\n2:42<br \/>\nAnd I\u2019m going to show you how to get around that.<br \/>\n2:44<br \/>\nYou\u2019re also going to have to use your arm identification. So you\u2019re gonna have to have a driver\u2019s license and maybe a passport or something that they\u2019ll accept. Maybe it\u2019s going to have to be a water bill. So just realize that, on those documents, you might also have your home address.<br \/>\n2:58<br \/>\nSo if you don\u2019t want that address to be disclosed, you\u2019re going to have to figure out a way to change that before you open a box like this.<br \/>\n3:04<br \/>\nThe other way is you can say that you moved and give them another address.<br \/>\n3:08<br \/>\nWhat I always do, because my actual address is not on my driver\u2019s license, and if I use that Friday, I actually get a real residential address in my neighborhood. And I just simply do that by driving around and getting one. It sounds kinda crazy, but you can do it on the Internet to, you can look around. Now, if you\u2019re gonna do this out of state, of course, you can\u2019t just drive around and look around unless you\u2019re visiting.<br \/>\n3:27<br \/>\nSo, you just go on the Internet, and you can just search for a residential address in whatever county, and all you want is a valid residential address that the Postal Service will verify that it does exist.<br \/>\n3:38<br \/>\nSo, that\u2019s how you avoid putting your home address on your 1983 now, it is OK to put your home address if you just feel like it, No problem, because here\u2019s, I\u2019ll show you what we\u2019re trying to avoid here. Alright?<br \/>\n3:51<br \/>\nUm, Let me do a share screen.<br \/>\n4:01<br \/>\nI think this is it, Yeah, This is it, OK, cool.<br \/>\n4:06<br \/>\nAll right, so.<br \/>\n4:12<br \/>\nSo, what we have here, I should keep it in there, OK. So what we have, as opposed to form, this is the form 1083.<br \/>\n4:20<br \/>\nAnd you can see, it\u2019s gonna ask you for your eye information, it\u2019s, I\u2019m just going to feel like you\u2019re opening a bank account.<br \/>\n4:25<br \/>\nSo, you literally can put whatever\u2019s on your identifying documents, your home address. If that\u2019s on your driver\u2019s license, unless you want to go to the trouble of changing it first, which is not hard to do.<br \/>\n4:36<br \/>\nUm.<br \/>\n4:40<br \/>\nSo we just answer this information. You can just check out the form and instructions.<br \/>\n4:44<br \/>\nIt\u2019s, I\u2019m not gonna get into all this, but basically, this is, box five just happens to be, if you want to let them sign for any certified mail, which I do recommend, actually, you\u2019re not going to avoid service.<br \/>\n4:55<br \/>\nSo there\u2019s no point in rejecting certified mail, especially if you\u2019re not going to be local, then you want them to sign for things.<br \/>\n5:02<br \/>\nAnd this really has to do with business.<br \/>\n5:04<br \/>\nSo it doesn\u2019t have to be a business, but you can just put NA here in box 11.<br \/>\n5:12<br \/>\nNo. Just, you just want enough information. So accept it and open the box.<br \/>\n5:17<br \/>\nNow, we get down here, and even if you\u2019re going to use a corporation or a limited liability company or some type of business structure, what I recommend is, not saying that on this form.<br \/>\n5:27<br \/>\nSo if my business is called XYZ Company, LLC, I\u2019m just going to call it XYZ company. So it looks like an alter ego. It looks like a fictitious name.<br \/>\n5:38<br \/>\nSo instead of box 13, I\u2019m gonna say, it\u2019s a trade name, a business name, OK, Box 14.<br \/>\n5:45<br \/>\nEven though it\u2019s truly a corporation, I can use that same name without the LLC designation so that I can call the trade name.<br \/>\n5:54<br \/>\nNow, Inbox 14, what I\u2019ll do for, let\u2019s say, a single woman, is I\u2019ll recommend that she used the name, mister and Mrs. Smith. So, it looks like the mail can be received by a couple May, Miss mister Mrs. Smith, Harold Smith, and Jane Smith, OK, for example.<br \/>\n6:07<br \/>\nYou can call it Charlie Brown. You could do whatever you want, really here because it\u2019s a trade name.<br \/>\n6:12<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a business name.<br \/>\n6:13<br \/>\nNow, I know it says here, it\u2019s a corporation or trade name that\u2019s been registered.<br \/>\n6:20<br \/>\nI\u2019ve never had a problem by putting anything I want in here that\u2019s not registered.<br \/>\n6:24<br \/>\nSo, don\u2019t worry about that.<br \/>\n6:26<br \/>\nUm.<br \/>\n6:30<br \/>\nSo, this box 14 allows you to receive mail and a name other than your own legally, and they\u2019ll process the mail.<br \/>\n6:39<br \/>\nAnd now, as time goes on, some places are different, but you can just start adding names if you want. And lots of times, they\u2019ll just process your mail.<br \/>\n6:48<br \/>\nSo, it\u2019s not such a big deal.<br \/>\n6:50<br \/>\nAnd then, you sign in here and don\u2019t be all concerned about giving false information. I know there\u2019s a little warning down here at the bottom.<br \/>\n6:56<br \/>\nYeah, now, you\u2019re not trying to commit fraud. OK, what you\u2019re trying to do and this is the same thing on the driver\u2019s license.<br \/>\n7:02<br \/>\nI don\u2019t have my home address on my driver\u2019s license.<br \/>\n7:04<br \/>\nI never have, because I\u2019m responsible for my own personal safety, and I believe that having my home address on my driver\u2019s license is a personal safety risk, and because I\u2019m married and have children and people rely on me, I have that sole responsibility. So, I don\u2019t care what the law says. I don\u2019t care what some statute says if I can get away with it.<br \/>\n7:22<br \/>\nI am not putting my home address on my driver\u2019s license ally to anybody who asked me, OK, so that\u2019s the kind of attitude you might want to take up. You\u2019re solely responsible for your own personal safety.<br \/>\n7:36<br \/>\nAnyways, That\u2019s the idea. So really it\u2019s all about box 14, OK, you want to be able to receive mail in a fictitious name.<br \/>\n7:43<br \/>\nSo I\u2019m gonna stop out of here and jump out of here and Go back to my notes here real quick Um?<br \/>\n7:57<br \/>\nSo you\u2019ve got your UPS Box.<br \/>\n8:00<br \/>\nLet me make sure I get that right thing up here.<br \/>\n8:13<br \/>\nOK, sorry about that.<br \/>\n8:15<br \/>\nI\u2019m trying to locate my notes so I don\u2019t miss anything here.<br \/>\n8:25<br \/>\nSo here we go.<br \/>\n8:27<br \/>\nAnyways, he gets a UPS Box open now that\u2019s in another state.<br \/>\n8:31<br \/>\nI\u2019ve used them in other counties that are far away.<br \/>\n8:34<br \/>\nWhatever.<br \/>\n8:36<br \/>\nThen you want to get a post office box that\u2019s close to, or convenient to where you live or where you\u2019re normally pick up mail.<br \/>\n8:46<br \/>\nSo the reason for that is the Post Office Box address you\u2019ll never give to anyone except the UPS store.<br \/>\n8:53<br \/>\nSo when you have your mail forwarded, only the UPS Store has that PO box, you don\u2019t give it to anybody.<br \/>\n9:01<br \/>\nAnd you do the same thing all over again.<br \/>\n9:02<br \/>\nYou do another 1083, Whatever documents you\u2019re comfortable giving, driver\u2019s license ID, whatever it\u2019s going to take, If you really want to get your home address off of their Change, Your driver\u2019s license address, it\u2019s not hard to do.<br \/>\n9:14<br \/>\nYou could do it on the Internet, probably.<br \/>\n9:17<br \/>\nThen, the benefit here is that, now, mail that you have to receive, because sometimes you have to receive mail, otherwise, I would try to reduce all the mail I\u2019m getting to e-mail, try to avoid getting paper mail.<br \/>\n9:31<br \/>\nBut sometimes, you have to or want to.<br \/>\n9:33<br \/>\nSo, what will happen is because the post office photograph\u2019s, every single parcel and letter envelope in part it photographs, it keeps a photographic record of the sender and recipient.<br \/>\n9:47<br \/>\nSo, you could address an envelope on the back in the front, which is the old way of doing it. And they\u2019ll accept it, they don\u2019t like to, but they\u2019ll accept it, That\u2019s another way to break apart that information. But of course, if the mail is not addressed to you, well, then that\u2019s another level of privacy.<br \/>\n10:04<br \/>\nIf someone wanted to investigate that trail, of course, he\u2019d have to have the legal authority to do it, and usually the police would have it, or the FBI. So just don\u2019t use it to commit a crime obviously, right. So you\u2019re getting some level of privacy.<br \/>\n10:16<br \/>\nAll right. And so you can receive mail in a trade name.<br \/>\n10:21<br \/>\nWhat does that does wonders?<br \/>\n10:22<br \/>\nBecause you can actually do some other things with this type of strategy and make it appear as if you actually did move.<br \/>\n10:30<br \/>\nEven if your name is still on a mortgage and you, you own a house, your name\u2019s on the title, in your names and the mortgage, you can actually make it look like you moved.<br \/>\n10:39<br \/>\nAnd you have a renter just by doing this So there\u2019s there\u2019s a bit more to it. I know it\u2019s in my other book, but I\u2019m gonna do more of a video on this.<br \/>\n10:48<br \/>\nSo you guys can try this out.<br \/>\n10:52<br \/>\nBut anyways, there\u2019s another element, once you get mail, all reduced, and the mail that you have to get you can avoid. And you want to make it appear as if it\u2019s coming. You actually live somewhere else.<br \/>\n11:07<br \/>\nThe mail that goes there.<br \/>\n11:10<br \/>\nSometimes mail comes to your house. So what you want to do, like, if you have people, like, maybe there\u2019s a debt collector, or someone sending a mail that you don\u2019t want to get. And you\u2019ve already taken care of all the mail, the way it\u2019s been routed, and you, it\u2019s the way you prefer.<br \/>\n11:23<br \/>\nYou then go to the US. Post Office website used to be able to do it in the mail. I don\u2019t think they processed these cards anymore.<br \/>\n11:31<br \/>\nBut if you go look on the internet for USPS change of address notification, you\u2019ll get a website on the Post Office\u2019s website and it\u2019ll give you a form and you\u2019ll it will ask you all the different criteria about how you want your mail forwarded and where you want it forwarded. So it can be forwarded from your residential address.<br \/>\n11:50<br \/>\nIt can be forwarded from your PO box, It cannot be forwarded from a UPS store, OK, a non USPS location, they will not forward it that way and there\u2019s a reason why but basically they went for it that way.<br \/>\n12:05<br \/>\nUm, so, yeah, that\u2019s it.<br \/>\n12:09<br \/>\nSimple stuff.<br \/>\n12:11<br \/>\nI will do some more on this, because I use this strategy with some other techniques to get you more privacy.<br \/>\n12:18<br \/>\nBut I just wanna give that little piece of information and let you try that out.<br \/>\n12:23<br \/>\nAll right, hope that helps.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    \r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2241184 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2241184\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-21e8914\" data-id=\"21e8914\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3aa7347 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3aa7347\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ee8deb8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ee8deb8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-477d626\" data-id=\"477d626\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f026b4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f026b4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1. John is discussing privacy in the context of physical mail and mailboxes, sharing tips particularly for those who feel unsafe or wish to protect their privacy.<br>2. One of the basic strategies is to use a mailbox service or a virtual office service like a UPS store or Regus, that can receive and forward mail.<br>3. These services provide an alternative address, allowing users to receive mail away from their home address, offering an extra layer of privacy.<br>4. It&#8217;s recommended to open a mailbox in a location that is not easily associated with the user, potentially even in a different state.<br>5. Postal Form 1983 is used to setup a mailbox service, but it usually requires a home address. The speaker provides tips on how to get around this requirement.<br>6. Users can use a valid residential address that the Postal Service can verify. The speaker suggests using a random residential address from another area, which can be found by simply searching on the internet.<br>7. It&#8217;s noted that the users should not feel concerned about providing false information, as it is seen as a necessary measure for personal safety.<br>8. The form also allows the user to receive mail under a fictitious name, adding another level of privacy.<br>9.
