"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."

    One of the reasons on the Mail Fraud form is Misrepresentation of a Product/Service. I had a bad experence on eBay once and thought about using the form but the Seller was in China and not worth the money since it was less than $5. I guess it depends how much $ is involved and how many complaints they get for one person.

    If you file the USPS form, arrange for one of you to be the caretaker, print the form, send it to the caretaker, and mail all of them as one complaint together. There is a TON of mail fraud and the inspectors are very busy with other things, a complaint about a couple hundred bucks will be on the back burner and never see daylight. 20 complaints about a couple hundred filed all together as one will be taken much more seriously and acted upon accordingly.

    Bump.

    I haven't been here as long as you guys but feel I have a dog in this race in that 1) I share the board with you and 2) I put a lot of emphasis on protecting collectors that have been violated.

    So why am I bumping the thread? Here's why:

    I know a lot of you are very upset and certainly have a right to be upset at what transpired. However, I see a ton of threads of venting and don't see so much in regards to making sure this doesn't happen again. Again, I understand the complaining. However, complaining only does so much. I like the board and appreciate the knowledge I gain from it. However, I don't see any use in a dozen new topics per day venting on what happened if nothing is being done outside of venting. In addition, has any of the senior members heard from an admin at CU on what has happened? It surprises me to not see any form of administrative response.

    Just my $.02
