Physical Spam

Got some physical spam in the mail today. This scam has apparently been going strong since 1997. The name printed on the cards was changed around 2003 from NDI Redemption Center to the current NDI University Awards Center.
Front of the card
Back of the card
Note that the side with the mailing labels has two of them. The one beneath the one with my address is somewhere at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA, 30332. The card itself was mailed from Kingsford, MI which is south of Houghton somewhere near the Wisconsin border.
If anyone knows how to trace 1-800 numbers or P.O. Boxes please leave a comment. I want to have some fun with this.
PO Box

Jon,
PO BOXes are generally private, but for one exception: Businesses.
If a business owns the box, the post office has to tell you who the business is, and some basic contact info.
Call that post office, ask about that box number. :)
