Based on a true story, the dramatization focuses on a U.S.-based investigation by U.S. Postal inspectors of a worldwide Internet fraud operation by a man operating out of London, England. The investigation stemmed from a case of identity theft that involved a female victim living in the United States. She responded to an e-mail purporting to be from her bank. It informed her that there were some problems with her account that required her to furnish them personal information, including her social security number and the number of her credit card with the bank. This information was then used to charge thousands of dollars to the woman's credit card. Through international law enforcement cooperation, the perpetrator was eventually traced to Thailand, where he was arrested and extradited to the United States for his crime against a U.S. citizen. At the conclusion of the dramatization, a representative of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service offers advice to Internet users on protective measures. He advises that although the Internet can be a safe and convenient means of conducting business, there are criminals using it in attempts to defraud unsuspecting online consumers. He advises online consumers to be suspicious of e-mails that purport to be from banks, online auction sites, or other retailers; never use a link in an unsolicited e-mail to visit any Web site; and only purchase goods and services from sites one trusts.
