Greetings,

I am just curious what can be done to someone who has ripped someone off buy
sending broken and non-functional equipment. What are the laws regarding
internet fraud across state lines??

Thanks in advance,

Doug



I tried the consumer protection/fraud route with the State of MI. They
were most helpful, reviewed my evidence, and recommended that I file a
claim. Only problem was, I'd have to fly out there to claim the $250
that was in contest. Turns out, the guy was selling a receiver
previously destroyed in shipment and being re-sold to unsuspecting
buyers. The gear was always returned but he, of course, never followed
through with a claim with the carrier. My mistake was to A. trust the
guy to begin with and B. never should have returned to him. At least I
would have had a parts unit...!
