It was definitely mentioned in Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman.
Comment on Would not adding a stamp and return address on a letter give you free postage

Old idea that I fail to find a reference for. It has appeared in some TV shows as a plot. It likely has a cool name…
Last I recall, the “return address” gets a note to pay the postage to get the letter if it seems someone is being clever.
Within one town and once? Likely free postage.
A noticed pattern? Maybe a visit from Postal Inspector.

It’s also a federal crime. So if you keep doing it, you’d get jail time.

Just make sure to also raid the White House. Then you’ll get a pardon.
