My wife runs an internet based business and was recently the victim of an attempt to defraud her using a bogus cashiers check.  It wasn't of a huge sum money - a bit over $4500.  But after stringing the guy out a bit, it was obvious this is some sort of "boiler room" set up involving many potential people.

When my wife tried to bring this to the attention of the FBI and the banks - no one cared.  The FBI said - go on line an report it [which she has done].  The banks [hers and the one the check was drawn on] don't seem to care at all.  It isn't enough money to interest anyone - except that when it happens to hundreds of people, it is a lot of money for someone. 

Perhaps the reason this goes on is that on one really cares about the average person.  The FBI said unless it was a large amount, likely nothing would really be done.

I think I may be in the wrong business...

Something is definitely wrong here.  Very wrong.
