Scammer caught. Are we fucked? HELP!!!

[blut wump]

Isn't that called entrapment and grounds for case-dismissal?

You see, if they were to send the goods then it could be argued as entrapment. Clearly, then, they took the money for services that they had no intent to provide. That is fraud.

Anyway, IANAL and I'm just blowing smoke out of any convenient orifice.

Reliable sources also get caught. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

This matter is serious, you got that letter cause of this..........your source was cooperating with LE

http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/law/news/wdl20070621a.pdf

i just told you that, but he was not cooperating in so much as catching others. i am sure he told them how he was doing it though.

the letter is just a part of the civil forfeiture proceedings. they have to notify you of this seizure so that if you disagree you can come forth for a trial. if you don't, it goes over on default judgement. if they didn't have your address they would have several guidelines to follow that would show that a reasonable effort to notify you was made, including running it in the newspapers. wouldn't that be nice, your name in the paper.

and no it is not entrapment. it would be entrapment if L.E. called people up and asked them to purchase, made them a rediculous offer, or threatened them into it some way. other than that, fair game
