Man changed address of UPS headquarters to his own apartment

A man has been charged over a scam in which he changed the corporate address of the global shipping company UPS to his own small apartment in Chicago, rerouting thousands of pieces of mail.

Dushaun Henderson-Spruce, 24, has been charged with mail theft and fraud in an alleged scam that saw items including American Express cards in the name of the chief executive and other board members being delivered to his address in Rogers Park, the Chicago Tribune reported.

So much mail was arriving at his seven-storey building that the carrier had to leave it in a US postal service tub because there was no room in the mail box, the Tribune said.

Henderson-Spruce, who spent a brief period in 2012 working as a package handler for UPS at the company’s sorting facility in Hodgkins, Illinois, was held in custody Thursday and scheduled for a detention hearing next week.

my mail disappeared. The PO had not a clue where it had gone. They have obviously improved the internal procedures for forwarding mail.
