received. The basics are that they send you a cashier's check or money
order that you bank will accept but will later reject once they find
it's fake. By that time you have already shipped the product.

And where was the ship-to address? Unless it was some bogus address, it
shouldn't be all the difficult for authorities to track to who was using it
even if it was a rented postal mail box. Must have been something more
elaborate than that to evade detection.
