A POBox is just that, a small mail slot typically in a post office.
I have one (in the back corner of the 7-11 by my house) and it's hardly
large enough to stuff a couple thick paperback books into.

it'd likely by the RCMP consumer fraud division?

Bill, are you situated in the States? If this were cross-border, the RCMP
would definitely be the one to call. Though I don't remember what the
lower $ limit is for the cases they handle, recall American dollars
pack significantly greater mileage in Canada-- that's a 3500$ system, here!


If I can do anything to help, from Calgary, let me know.
