Big scam with mail fraud in US. Criminals from another country mail letters to folks in US. In the letters the criminals ask investors to mail send them money via US mail. The criminals promise that the folks in the USA will make money on their investment.

NBC news reported this story many months ago. The other night they had a follow up. Unfortunately, the criminals have kept the scam going although the US postal service has intervened and confiscated many letters and millions of dollars.

I cannot remember which country most of this mail comes from but I believe most of the letters that the criminals mailed were postmarked from South America.

Perhaps someone else will remember name of the country. In any case, the criminals keep the money. So investors beware!!!
