Re: OT: How to send an email anonymously ...
Go to a free WiFi hotspot, create a new gmail account. Send your neighbor an email explaining what you told us. Say you heard it from someone at the HOA Now your neighbor knows they are on to him, if he proceeds, and he is in the wrong, then it's his own fault. Email sent contains the IP address from where it is sent, so don't connect to the new one from your house. And don't use your real name as the new email address or he will figure out it is you. :-P This way you haven't done any thing illegal and haven't misrepresented yourself as the HOA.

Re: OT: How to send an email anonymously ...
Your concrete wall statement made me think of a time when a guy rented a trailer to a person who was on the move. The trailer owner had no infrastructure to manage renting trailers. He had only one thing, the good will and honesty of his fellow Americans. Uhaul was built on the good will and integrity of American business men. The trailer would make it's way to it's destination and be dropped off at a gas station, I presume with a note telling the gas station owner to rent the trailer and send part of the fees back to the owner. I remember being 5 or 6 and wanting to go to the neighbor's house on a Sunday. My mother told that was not the thing to do because Sunday was family day. Our country has changed. We have lost the sense of community I'm as guilty as anyone. I belong to a couple groups and that is my community. I miss the good 'ol days. And a time when muscle cars where plentiful and cheap!!

Re: OT: How to send an email anonymously ...
Sorry there is no safe legal way to miss represent your HOA (a legal entity regulated by the State Corporation Commision) to a city (a jurisdictional agency with a state charter). Ironically you would be in violation of actual State Laws with severe penalties, where as your neighboor at worst is only in violation of a city ordinance. Your action would be a felony, his is barely a misdemeanor. On May 1, 2015 7:01 AM, Michael Havens bmi...@gmail.com wrote: you may wnt to warn him that cities do you satelite imaging.

Re: OT: How to send an email anonymously ...
I am one of the people you talk about in this thread, but I used the rules on my side. Most cities (Phoenix), the pad does not matter. Any free standing building more then 6 feet from property line and any other structure that is under 100 sq feet roof does not need a permit. Each city is different and you would need to check codes for your city. If they build below fence line, HOA does not have a say. So maybe you should talk with your neighbor and ask what he is making. It could just be a pad for patio set. Richard On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 8:05 PM, JD Austin j...@twingeckos.com wrote: I think Victor is on the right track.. Hey..

How do they do that? While I have never done this before, I now have a need to do send an email completely anonymously (preferably using our homeowner association email address ;) and would like to know how this can be done safely and not illegally. To briefly explain, we have a neighbor who has poured the foundation to build a structure in his back yard (without obtaining a building permit) and if he should proceed, this non-compliant structure will cause him even greater expense and hardship if he is not prevented from proceeding. The size of the foundation makes it very obvious that the structure is not in compliance with either city building codes or HOA requirements. Needless to say, we want to avoid causing hard feelings with our neighbor, so we would like to be able to alert the city authorities *anonymously* in order to protect our neighbor from continuing and ending up with very costly consequences. Regrettably, our home owner's association has taken the position that they will indeed take the necessary corrective actions, including notifying the city building code department, once the building is built and visible from the street; however, they say that they will not take any action until the building is built and a visible violation has actually been committed. How stupid is that? Is it against your HOA's CCR's to pour a slab in the back yard of your house? Probably not. If not the HOA would not have a leg to stand on. Once a structure is visable even if it is just the frame it probably will then fall under your HOA's jurisdiction. I would assume city code requires a permit to lay down concrete for any use. At this point it is probably a city issue. So, my question is, how can I send an email to the city building code enforcement department to alert them of the homeowner's failure to obtain a building permit so that the email will appear to be from our homeowner association? I have already spoken to them by phone, but they will not take any action until they receive a formal complaint via their online input form which requires submitting the name and contact information of whoever is filing the complaint. They say that such reports are best and usually filed by HOAs and not by neighbors, to avoid needless conflicts. Obviously, I could just wait until my neighbor has spent all the money to build the structure and then have a prolonged legal action to force him to tear it down, but how much better to protect him from all that needless pain and expense? I would never spoof an email. Who knows where that can lead. They will be able to track it back to you anyway, unless you really get fancy. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss -- Keith Smith --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
