The Post Office has nothing to do with this case. He shipped the card by UPS. Since UPS is a private company, they will have to go after him for the attempted fraud (and I hope they do!)
Sad to say, many crooks have learned to avoid shipping by US Postal Service because they have a reputation of being tougher on mail fraud. It is a Federal crime and that scares off some of the crooks. (I'm not saying this reputation is deserved, but it's a perception.)
We have a couple of long time UPS employees on this board (and who have commented in this thread.) Perhaps they can chime in on how UPS handles this sort of thing vs. how the USPS deals with it.
