Might We Add Postal Fraud to the List?

I've read lately over at ei that some have been getting so called refund checks from TaxMasters that are not really checks. I'd like to say that I'm shocked - but it's standard fare for these disreputable souless people.

A few of the guys commented that if this is so and in addition these bogus checks are mailed well that would be mail fraud. So if you or someone you know is in posession of one of these beuties please send a copy to the Harris County DA. Also send one to your own county DA. The more people we get involved the better!

Click here to go for a little trip to the USPS Postal Inspection service. You'll find an online form to fill out or you can print it and mail it with a copy of pertinent documents. Here's the info they provide regarding complaints. Contact the FTC too!

Mail Fraud Complaint

The form below allows you to send a complaint to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service if you suspect you are a victim of mail fraud. Reporting identity theft on-line is a separate form.

Although the Inspection Service cannot resolve routine business disputes between companies and their customers, it can act against a company or individual if there is a pattern of activity suggesting a potential scheme to defraud. Completion of this form is voluntary, but the more information that you enter, the better the Inspection Service may be able to help.

Please note we may share the information you provide with other agencies when a possible violation concerns their jurisdiction. Read the Contact Us page for more information.

If this is an urgent matter, immediately contact your nearest law enforcement agency. You may also go to the Federal Trade Commission site for more information.

Be careful out there.
