Dana Kraus says she's being harassed at the mailbox, getting around 70 magazine subscriptions without asking for them
Subscription insert cards sent to magazines with her name on it, writing similar on all cards
She;s collected 150 pounds of mail since January, blames neighbor for having it sent
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville woman said she is a victim of mail harassment and has 150 pounds of unsolicited mail to show for it.
Dana Kraus has received mail just about every day since January, including about 70 magazine subscriptions, various catalogues and tourist information pamphlets, none of which she requested.
"It's a nightmare," said Kraus, who claims a neighbor is responsible. "It's very sad that someone would go to this length to harass somebody."
Kraus spent hours on the phone canceling subscriptions, and getting copies of subscription insert cards sent to the magazines in her name, she said. She was billed around $1,000 for magazines ordered in her name, her father's name and her son's name.
"The handwriting is the same on all of them. Also, my email address is wrong, the server is wrong, and on the address, the "g" is the same on every single one," said Kraus.
She got an injunction against her neighbor Randall Green after a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office investigation uncovered a recording of a call he made to a hair restoration company, ordering materials in her name.
"He's not going to stop until it hurts him in his pocket or he's put in jail." She said she is still getting unsolicited mail, but can't prove her neighbor is responsible so he can't be cited for violating an injunction.
Green said by phone that he was not responsible for any of the mail. He admitted making the hair restoration call as a joke, but said he has done nothing to violate the injunction since it was issued.
Green claims he has gotten unsolicited mail at his home that Kraus is responsible for.
According to a Postal Service spokesman, Kraus should call the Postal Inspection Service if she feels threatened by the mail and an investigation will be conducted.
Kraus said JSO told her they could not arrest anyone for having the mail sent to her home since she was not hurt financially.
