That is correct. It is not like people see in the movies.
Additionally, Interpol does not get involved unless your local/state/fed law enforcement make a request directly to them. You have to submit a report there, and if you're lucky... your county has someone who deals with internet bullshit. If not, you will just get bounced around until you have to write the state attorney general, and then they assign it to the state police or ICE. That is the FBI division that deals with computer crimes.
Sadly I know all of this because I've had to go through all of these steps, and agencies, because of some of the psychotics who frequent GFY and think their internet gangster crap has no limits.
