Actually, the FBI will not take the case depending on where the incident 
is occuring because each field office (56 of them) has a declination 
level, based on loss, that they get from the US Attorneys Office in the 
Federal Judicial District that they are in.  The $ amount of loss will 
be different from office to office.  It is also a function of the amount 
of resources available to that office.
Thus I would still check with the local FBI office and if the Cyber 
Crime Supervisor can not help, ask for a referral to a local agency or 
task force that will work the case.
