Reshipping-initiative

The National Cyber-Forensics & Training Alliance's Reshipping initiative is a

joint initiative [] focused on developing intelligence regarding the concealment of the true recipients of merchandise purchased with stolen payment credentials. Taking over existing legitimate shipping accounts through a variety of online methods, shipping fraud, reshipping, and the credit card fraud associated with it currently cost the US economy almost $1 billion per year. This has a direct adverse impact on the US Postal Service in particular. . . .

This initiative is a re-tooled version of "Operation RELEAF" (Retailers & Law Enforcement Against Fraud), which was a joint (LE & online merchant) initiative developed in 2001, in coordination with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
