My father-in-law fell for a "buy it with your credit card, ship it to us at double the price" scam. Thank goodness I was able to catch it after just one transaction.
I tried to report it to everyone I could think of. I had phone numbers, mailing addresses, etc.
NO one was interested. Credit card company, USPS, FBI, Illinois Attorney General. Even the Senior Scam Alert acted like "yeah, so what else is new?"
I can only guess that they have zero chance of ever catching the criminals, so why bother?
