Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in District of Columbia

Re: internet scammer bounty hunting

Depends in large measure (in answer to first query) upon where the alleged scammers are, i.e,, if beyond U.S. borders, forget it, they're unreachable by U.S law; if in another state (from that of the victim), the victim would probably have to go there to locate them, file suit in the appropriate court, have them served with the papers,(hopefully), get a judgment and then collect it--a process which could easily be stalled by an impediment in any of the foregoing links; if within the same state as the alleged victim, things would be easier but the same aforedescribed legal process would still have to be followed in order to secure some measure of justice for the victim(s).

Extradition is a legal process which applies only to convicted criminals and most of the scammers would be unlikely to acquire such status as many of their scams would likely be prosecuted (if at all) as civil rather than criminal matters.
