you should feel bad...its fucked up that youd think to do that

its called 'mail fraud' and its a felony

Yes, I am not sure if you are familiar with the concept of 'bad ideas', but there is an associated saying; 'Leave your morals at the door'.



Do you know if that would constitute as mail fraud, MODC?

i just said it did

If i were to insure my package for the value of my phone and put something in there that weighed similar, could she file a claim someone switched the items and get reimbursed for the phone so she can just go buy one?

That's not just theft, it's mail fraud, a federal felony.

All around, it's a stupid fucking idea. You're gonna give a girl your address and then defraud her?  How do you know her old man, daddy, or brother isn't going to come to your house, drag you out and fuck you raw?  You're more worried about the law, when you should be worried about fucking with random people you don't know who have your PI!

Consider mailing a box with a dollar in it to an address in the same zip code and give her the tracking from that. That's probably what she's doing to you anyway...

Apple's power has been somewhat reduced when this law was passed. Sure... they still have the technical ability to kill the phone, but if you have proof of a transaction/trade/tracking the law should be on your side.

Of course you may want to reserve this option unless she rips you off.
