    	SA Mike Ruffner, FBI Portland, requested posting of the following:
    
    	"From 12/2001 - 5/29/2002, certain individuals from the Houston
    Texas area are responsible for separate but similar fraudulent activity
    targeting small Oregon computer companies.  The individuals order a large
    number of CPUs from these companies and pay for the items using a fraudulent
    check FedExed to the victim's bank.  They further request the items be
    FedExed to a suite or apartment via overnight delivery.  The individuals are
    placing the orders via telephone from London, England."
    
    	Please direct any feedback or questions to SA Ruffner c/o
    portland@private; or to the FBI office at 503-224-4181.
    
    	Thanks, folks, and have a great 4th!
