Btw, I just called the Canada Post and I asked them about possibley intercepting my package. They said I couldn't do it normally, IF I filed for Mail Fraud, they could stop it. Does anyone know exactly how do this? I already called USPS and filed a MailFraud report with them, but I'm not sure if I need to do anything else.

The town that you sent the package to should have a Post Office or try 411 directory assistance.

Call the Canada Post again and now that you have copies/receipts of the mail fraud to present to them (email) they should be able to intercept the package. Make sure you contact the local PO in the town where the package is going to verify they have been informed and that the proper information has been forwarded, after you speak with the Canadian Post again.

Remember, the PO workers are there to help you so be patient and most of all polite.

Well, I've called the USPS and filed a Mail Fraud complaint with the customer service rep who answered the phone. She said they would open an investigation into the matter. She asked for some personal info, and details about the package; Where it was going, description of the envelope/package and where I sent it from (as well as my address).

Afterwards, she gave me a confirmation number and said she could transfer me to the Mail Fraud Department. They were closed, so I called them this morning, but the person I spoke didn't give me much more information or hope.

I would. The local PD will likely tell you they can't do anything, but on the off-chance they have a procedure for a foreign scammer defrauding one of their citzens...though it's likely not their area. Still, wouldn't hurt to make an inquiry, and they might have some tips on how to procede.

Thanks,

Glad it was only $23, but sucks.
Will look into filing appropriate actions.

Nope, they haven't got the package yet, which gives me a bit of hope that somehow it got stopped and I might have a chance of getting it back.

What do you think? Are you having a similar experience?

---

I'll just be glad to hear when you get the package back. Seeing that a situation as this is easily managed as long as you go through the right channels.

I'm not saying that's what reinhart did, there are a ton of people who actually do rip, but it's not always that way with banned people.

I'm not sure what reinhart was banned for, but in general I would check to see why that person was banned before you start freaking out. I know many people who are very honest people who were banned because of other reasons, chiefly being that their item was lost in shipping, and they refused to send another one. That's how my friend was banned, and he's a good guy. People just have their lines they won't cross, and if they get banned, oh well.

Well DOT, if you read the thread, you'd know why he was banned. His account was hacked by a ripper.

Thanks,
