Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Rec'd fraud money orders

Hello Sir,

I live in Pennsylvania. Today I rec'd a UPS that had ten $800 worth separate postal money orders from some unknown person. Later in the day I got an email from a person named Gina who encouraged me to cash the money orders from my bank and to let her know after I did that.

I used to live in Australia and was in the university. Last year in Australia I had rec'd drafts of huge amounts and again the person asked me to deposit it in the bank. Our university had advised us of this fraud.

Can you advice me what I should do. Do you have the name of the legal agency to whom I should report this fraud. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Extremely odd situation.

The US Postal Service has its own law enforcement force - and these folks are real federal cops who take this sort of thing deadly serious. Here is the weblink:
