Man learns casino losses not deductible
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 15 (UPI) -- A Texas woman said her father receives so much junk mail that his house is full of letters and on a recent day he received 96 pieces of mail.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported the Fort Worth woman and her 81-year-old father, whose names were not released by the newspaper, said the man's house is littered with junk mail, including a 3 1/2-foot pile of letters on his breakfast table.
The woman said her father, who received 96 pieces of junk mail Monday alone, gives about $2,500 a year to various charities and began receiving junk mail in amounts too large to fit through his mail slot about a year ago.
The daughter said she has been mailing the companies to ask them to take her father off their mailing lists, but the process has been slow.
"How many others is this happening to?" the daughter asked. "This isn't right. Our seniors shouldn't be treated this way."
