[QUOTE="caveeagle, post: 14116850, member: 128063"] Follow up: She took the money orders by the police dept earlier today. Not sure exactly who she spoke to, but.. They took the money orders and looked at here texts. They told her they would "make a record" of it, but that there was really nothing they could do since they did not actually take any money from her. .....WTF. Now, I don't expect them to call in the FBI over this.. But why does the crime have to me successfull before it is prosecutable? I mean.. attempted murder is punishable.. right? Why the hell is nobody making an attempt to go after this @$$-holes? It seems like scammers and identity thieves have pretty much got free reign at this point. The frequency at which I see scam emails originating from Craigslist ads is crazy. My wife also sells Mary Kay, and says that she has also received several of these types of scam contacts. She just ignores them. I am sorry... I just am a little pissed about this. It sounds like my kid actually thought about depositing these MOs and sending them the money. Luckily, she decided to call me first.... but she was thinking about giving in to it. How about a little less useless gov't beurocracy, and start going after some of this crap!! [/QUOTE]
