It's frustrating how easy it was to find criminals.

He should buy actual postage and put a credit card inside. All of a sudden, the police should be interested in felony theft / felony mail fraud.

Considering how much card fraud (and other stuff like money laundering, etc) happens all the time on the Internet and nothing gets done, do you really think someone is going to care?

No stats on whether anyone was caught or prosecuted, and I guess that’s because nobody was.
