Ensure you take photos or a video of the package being sealed up and handed over to the USPS. One time I was sending a $250 package out and I suspected possible fraud, I sealed the package in front of my USPS postal inspector....but he wasn't very happy doing it and would only say he saw me sealing a package....what did he know about the true value of the item? He's not an expert. They just don't see it from our perspective. You will get no sympathy for "white collar fraud" of small proportions from your AG, local police, USPS, or even the govt's on line Financial Crimes Internet/Cyber reporting. It probably takes $25K-$50K minimum to get them interested in a case....and especially if many customers were defrauded at $1 MILL+. Feel free to post your complaint with BBB, on line Fraud Websites like RipOff Report, etc. It might help someone else...though not likely. And it could even come back to bite you someday.
