Why doesn't the government do more to go after fraud over the internet? They leave evidence of their crime right there on the web. It would be like shoot fish in a barrel.
Unfortunalely, you couldn't be more wrong. It's extremely difficult. Scammers at the very least, usually use public computers. The more sophisicated ones hack into other computers silently and run through them like a proxy, effectively blocking themselves from the rest of the world.
ebay scammers are mostly from out of the country which makes it almost impossible.
Shooting fish in a barrel? More like peeing on a forest fire.
