That's assuming of course you could ever catch the person.

Which is of course, next to impossible. Only large cities and the FBI can track problems like this (in the US). And many large cities don't have a computer division at all for fraud. You have to lose at least $5-10K in order for the police to justify an investigation.

We had a problem with Online sales a few years back and got bit pretty badly.
