Mail Fraud Form

[TRIAD]

As many as possible. Look at what they do, some are better than others. The BBB is not really for out-of-state stuff, and are more for businesses, as they are not government owned. I really wouldn't get the FBI involved in something of this magnitude, possible if all else fails, they ARE there to serve YOU, but I would start lower on the ladder. Start with the PO, then local police, internet fraud, etc.

you're question was rather broad, to which i gave a broad response, can you narrow it down? Have you been scammed over the internet?

[paintslinger]

no but im about to be trading my mag for a cocker(i know i know) and i just wanna be cover just incase i get screwed over in some way.

[TRIAD]

Go third party DEFINITELY.

[paintslinger]

know of any good/cheap ones?

[TRIAD]

A lot of the guys on the boards here do it, but it can get expensive. My bro, snakebite78, just went through PPS (Palmers) and the turnaround time was excellent. They kept us very informed, and it only cost about 30 dollars. Not sure exactly what they do, give them a call. Or just look around, a lot of guys here do it.

It'd be great if some of you people who HAVE had to go through the terrible process of getting back stolen goods to post how you did it. Please list IN DETAIL exactly what you did and the results each step gave you. This way, we can help others out in the same fix.

My first paintball gun ever was a spyder shutter that i bought as one of their packages. They left out the 9 oz. co2 they were supposed to send and when i told them what happend they said wow, that sucks for you but i can't do a thing about it. Don't buy anything their.

FBI doesnt investigate mail fraud, that is under the jurisdiction of Postal Inspectors.

And I happen to know (guess how) that postal inspectors will not investigate isolated incidents, unless they have nothing else going on, which is never. They will investigate patterns of fraud, if there is enough. Do NOT expect a grand jury indictment for a company that stiffs you out of a CO2 tank, or a trader who fails to send you his gun, and keeps the one you sent. Postal Inspectors have a hard enough time getting people caught with 100s of pieces of stolen mail prosecuted.

Smartest move when buying online: Use an escrow service, such as www.escrow.com. Check it out. And use a credit card for online purchases, most have fraud protection (be sure to check first).

Have any questions, post em here, believe me, I can answer questions on mail fraud.

How'd you get screwed over?

[jmills]

[Big Belks]

just wondering..has anyone ever filled out a complaint for a rip-off on this forum and had success? I recently filled one out but the big disclaimer thing at the top says they will investigate individuals who show "patterns" to defraud. Does this mean they won't investigate anyone until there are several complaint about the same person or what? plz let me know if any of you have successfully charged someone with mail fraud, and what steps did you follow to do so.
