About Teachers Pay Teachers. TeachersPayTeachers (TpT) was founded in 2006 by Paul Edelman, a former NYC public school teacher. TpT's mission is to make teachers lives easier by creating the world's first open marketplace where teachers buy and sell original teaching materials. The end result, every one wins, especially the students.
Mail fraud is a federal crime by nature, as using the postal service to advance a criminal attempt necessarily involves the federal government. There is a relatively clear statute in existence that defines mail fraud, and each of the two required elements is explained below.
In order to be proven guilty of mail fraud, it must be shown that the person knowingly and willfully devised a scheme to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false pretenses, representations or promises and that such acts were carried out by means of use of the U.S. Postal Service.
