10 years ago or so it was the tax fraud capital of the United States. The place where people made a living out of stealing identities, submitting hundreds of tax returns and cashing the checks.

From personal experience selling on Ebay, a full 1/3rd of anything that went to the Miami area ended up being fraud or a scam of some sort. Typically they'd pay, wait to get the tracking number then charge back as "product not delivered". I _ONLY_ shipped to that area via UPS so I would simply re-direct the package back. It costs $15 to do so I built it into the cost.

The other scam was to return the item with the product missing in the box. Often it was rocks inside trying to make the weight correct. I video recorded opening of every box that got returned. Also, they never got the weight right, so a 7lb outgoing box and a 2lb return won the case as well.

In 20 years, I never lost an eBay or PayPal chargeback, but there are a lot of thieves and cheaters down that way.

Easy. Check the results of past elections.
