You already did very good to report this scam here. If you want to do a little more, there is an easy way to report these scammers to the authorities. Take all the mails to your local post office, and ask for a form to report mail fraud. (As a volunter of a Senior Center I take every week a basketful scam mails to the post master. I do not even need to fill out any form.) The USPS inspectors can close any PO Box - it is against federal law to use USPS for fraud. In rare cases USPS lucky enough to find dozens/hundreds of checks in the POBox, and able to return them to the victims. The problem, in a week the scammers open another POBox... BUT if your report is HERE, on Ripoffreport, scammers can not hide simply behind a new address.
