What about selling and sending instruments of forgery through the United States Postal Service? That is fraud and forgery. Didn't this play a part in Bullpen? Another example might be the case of Gilbert v. United States (1962), where the Supreme Court ruled on the forgery of government checks and the use of the mail system to commit the crime. This Snoop things is rather widespread.

I'm hoping the AG will investigate.

Just in case someone thought Interscope was learning a lesson from all of this....they sent out a re-stock email for signed CDs (from all the returns) and are still selling them on their website: https://interscope.com/collections/cds/products/missionary-exclusiv...

They seem to be trying to be careful with the description... it just says "with signed art card" .... no mention of who it's signed by.... is that their loophole?

That’s actually not a bad avenue to follow on this conduct. 
United States Postal Service do their own investigations. I once saw a documentary about a horrible stalker who kept getting away with it because the police could never pin it on him. It wasn’t until she reported it to the US Postal Service about threats being mailed they did their own investigation and took him down. Asked ai about it.

Investigation by USPS

The United States Postal Service (USPS) does have procedures in place for investigating fraudulent activities, including the mailing of fake or fraudulent items. Here’s what you should know:

• Fraudulent Mailing: Mailing a fake autograph can be considered fraud, especially if the intent is to deceive the recipient into believing it is genuine.
• USPS Involvement: If a recipient suspects they have received a fraudulent item, they can report it to USPS. The Postal Inspection Service may then investigate the matter, particularly if there are significant allegations of fraud.
• Legal Consequences: Engaging in fraudulent activities through the mail can lead to serious legal repercussions, including potential criminal charges.

Conclusion

If you are considering mailing a fake autograph, it’s important to be aware of the legal and ethical implications. Engaging in such activities not only risks investigation by authorities but can also harm your reputation. If you have further questions about the topic, feel free to ask!

I have simply threatened this and have had money thrown at me with no return desired. I just pointed to the information above.  This was decades ago, before I really knew anything, with a "Bela Lugosi." Let me know how this suggestion  works out this time.

Hey Shawn, link to the thread of Universal Music (Interscope is a subsidiary) selling tens of thousands of autopens not more than 6 months ago with the US Bon Jovi autopens. This may help show a pattern of fraud being continually used against the consumer. Might be worth a shot. GL.

Establishing a pattern of knowing production and sales of provably Autopenned material using the USPS to achieve this is essential IMO - as many artists as you can find under the one umbrella. I have never needed to go this far with this plan of attack as I mentioned so please, do keep us posted Prince Shawn.
