So my ebay account was recently compromised and some tool tried to buy a bunch of items with my money. Well luckily for me, ebay caught this and suspended my account. Now me being me, I could just be happy with my ebay account being back to normal.
So I'm changing my ebay password and see that my primary shipping address had been changed to some dude in Tampa, FL. A little google-fu later and I'm on the phone with this ****ing idiot letting him know I'm getting on the phone to some of my Fed buddies and he should be getting a visit fairly soon. He responded with a lot of stuttering and "Well have a good day, sir." click he hangs up.
So my question to any of the Federal or State guys on here, what if anything is done about 'domestic' internet crimes. I understand a lot of it comes from out of country, but like with this dbag, what really can be done? Ultimately I'm satisfied with this guy having to worry about the Feds knockin' his door of its hinges, but am still curious as to who handles these kinds of things or if anybody does?
I'm wondering if the interwebs is truly the wild west...
EDIT: I'm open for discussion on this from even non-LE if you have something to offer from experience etc..
