Hi UMers!
I want to share something with you. Its one urban legend which happens to be true. And its quite usefull. Lets say you want to sent postcard to someone and you dont have a money for stamp or you dont have a time to buy a stamp. Or perhaps you want to save any penny you have. How can you do it? Simply. Instead of stamp wrote down on postcard on the place where usualy stamp goes this code: „ 2FA-BE„ or like this „2FA BE“. I dont know what does it means but it works. One of my friend went in Belgium and he sent me postcard with this code to test this urban legend and I got postcard. We then tried from several destinations and almost everytime worked. So if anyone knows whats the origin of this secret international code please share your knowledge.

it's a code recognized by the CIA.

Anyone willing to test this "CIA" or other supposed secret international codes?
I'm willing to give my postal address via private message to someone who can send me a letter without a stamp from the far corners of the Earth here to me in Ireland via the above or other supposed secret CIA (or other) codes.
I'm fascinated by the idea of stampless international postal codes that government agnencies use to talk to each other.

If things were meant to be explained so easily, we would run out of the things that entertain us.

i was about to tell you "i'll do it", but i really got a bit scared by this CIA-thing. I don't want us both to find out that "waterboarding" isn't a fun sport.....
You mean to tell me waterboarding isn't a sport?
lol
Can anyone answer the question as to why everyone you seem to anger on the internet is either a hacker, an FBI agent, or works for Microsoft?

That is ineteresting, but you would think that the CIA would find out and try and contact the person using these codes to tell them to knock it off

it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

Im not sure they are allowed to considering other mails as they use of controllers. It would have come from the top down.

So you can use that code in England? well!! I am not happy about that, our stamp prices keep going up, is that to cover the cost of all these "secret" no stamp needed system??
In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

For an urban legend to be true, it, in my eyes, has to work or happen 100% of the time
You got lucky?
Postman didnt care?
