No, The FBI Isn't Gunning For The Business of Mailboxes Etc.

from the stupidity-reigns dept

A note to all the stupid criminals out there: when making a purchase with a forged check, you're probably better off not using your local FBI office as the delivery point for the goods you're trying to scam. That's what a mastermind in Monroe, La., did recently, giving the feds' address for a shipment of cell phones he wanted to receive. The firm he "bought" the phones from noticed something fishy when the guy paid with a "cahier's check" (as opposed to a cashier's check), and they called the authorities, who later found the guy trying to flag down a delivery driver outside the FBI office. Sometimes, you have to wonder, do these people just want to get caught?
