This might explain why I've been trying for two days to get an ISP in the UK to shut down a website that's being used in a debit card scam in the USA but have received no response from them. Neither have my emails been acknowledged nor has the site been shut down. It wouldn't surprise me to find that the law prevents the ISP from shutting them down without a police investigation but the police won't investigate because it might not be local (or that serious).
