When you change your address, the USPS website actively tries to trick you into signing up for junk mail and offers

  Does that mean one can also opt out? I might have to look into this now. Or move and remember to watch for the signs next time.

  That’s not the worst of it. If you fill out a USPS change of address form, they surreptitiously sell that information others.

  So you should never fill out that form. Buy stamps if necessary to tell each entity your new address. It’s the only way to get some control over the disclosure.

  I remember this from the last time I moved. Extremely evil. My roommate fell victim to it.
