Didn't
Get What You Ordered? (USPS)
The
FTC's Mail or Telephone Merchandise Order Rule
(above
also applies to merchandise ordered by computer)
It does not matter how the merchandise is advertised,
how the customer pays, or who initiates the contact.
Postal
inspectors investigate any crime in which the
U.S. Mail is used to further a scheme, whether
it originated in the mail, by telephone or
on the Internet. The use of the U.S. Mail
is what makes it a mail fraud issue (a federal
offense).
