Default Providing Mail Services
Just wanted some insight from my VAF colleagues:
In the past couple of weeks I have received several emails from potential clients inquiring about mail services. They are looking for two different types of services:
1) providing a PO Box where their customers can send mail to and then I forward the important stuff to them (checked with post office and clerk warned against this unless I knew the company because I would have to open the PO Box under my name and thus would be ultimately responsible for bills or any illegal activity)
2) the company emails me stuff that I print out and send out on their behalf.

Has anyone else been contacted recently about these types of services? Does anyone provide these types of mail services to their clients? All of the inquiries are from other potential clients in other countries and say they are trying to save money on postage while maintaining a United States address.
