The U.S. Postal Inspection Service recently presented awards to members of PayPal's anti-fraud team in appreciation and recognition of their aid in the investigation of a man accused of Internet auction fraud. San Francisco Postal Inspector Barry Mew presented PayPal fraud investigators with commemorative plaques thanking them for their "significant contribution" to the investigation and capture of Jay Nelson, of Gilsum, New Hampshire. Nelson, 34, recently pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering for failing to deliver thousands of items he offered for sale on Internet auction sites, according to the announcement. "PayPal fraud investigators played a critical role in our ability to compile evidence against Jay Nelson," said Mew. "We appreciate their willingness to work closely with us and other law enforcement agencies." |
