Yes, naturally. The FBI may want to be involved since the amount although individually is less than $5000, cumulatively, it may be over $5000 and the FBI may assert jurisdiction since the fraud has occurred in the US. If the perpetrator is found in India, the local Indian Police will have to be involved. Only after investigation would there be a need for extradition. However, the FBI may lodge a complaint on behalf of several US citizens and prosecute the perpetrator in India.
