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

Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done at all. I've had this
happen (as have many, MANY others), and your best chance is to contact the
local police where the fraud resides.. but even then, you'll get virtually
no cooperation.

Post their name here to warn others.

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...!

Makeing an assumption here== that you send funds (purchased) thru
the U.S SNAIL. Your 300 Pound Gorilla is the U.S. Postal Inspector
(C/O. Your postmaster)! For Canada, (Yeh had problem there , too),
try Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.M.C.P) Both agencies take a
dim view of Mail Fraud! Jim NN7K
