Postal Inspectors are like the police or FBI for these type of situations, they can arrest people and so forth. These people/scammers suck you in and then keep building a case a little at a time by using a hook. It's your choice you can either keep posting and complaining about it or actually do something about it that that matters like call the post office and get in touch with the postal inspector. But honestly I don't think you are willing to face the truth and move on, so you are doing what everyone else does that gets suckered does you are keeping a dialogue going with them and believe me you will never win.

I never heard of the postal inspector doing anything. It's hard to even talk to the Post Master General when they smashed and ruined a package I sent. But I agree with what I bolded above. I don't think the OP is going to do anything but complain on here; which we cannot do anything.
