I just last night followed the advice in the BoatUS press release, and filed a complaint with the USPS Inspector General, even though it's been two months since I got suckered. Made sense, since this fraud started with a piece of mail. I'd previously filed complaints with the BBB, Department of Commerce, and USCG NVDC, but don't think those had much impact. I'm still pissed that there are assholes out there in the world doing this kind of shit, while owning fancy cars and claiming to be Christian according to their Facebook profiles.

And got a letter from some documentation renewal site about 10 days ago. And today I saw a press release from Boat/US about documentation fraud. They are apparently getting a lot of complaints from members about the various documentation renewal companies, and the release indicates that some of the examples of letters and websites that they have been provided have no disclaimer to indicate they are not affiliated with USCG and that some of the letters and sites are virtually identical to the real USCG notification. Boat/US is telling boaters to contact the Boat/US fraud division, the Attorney General in your home state, and the Postal Inspector at your local Post Office.
