Package Forwarding & Reshipping Job or Scam?

I am ashamed to admit that I fell victim to this type of scam. It seemed kind of fishy to me but, being unemployed and needing money, I tried it anyway. The supposed job offer was from a company who called themselves The Olsen Stores based in the U.K. I went to their website, which appeared to be legit, and replied that I was interested in the job. They sent me an email with a UPS tracking number and shipping label for me to print out and paste onto the package when it arrived. A package came a couple of days later and I followed the instructions and took it to FedEx to drop it off. FedEx took the package and I was on my way. I emailed them, as instructed, to let them know I shipped the package.

A couple of weeks went by and I hadn’t heard from them, or received any compensation. Yesterday I received a bill from FedEx stating I owe $165.15 to ship that package. I knew right away that it had been some kind of scam. There was no way I was going to pay that. I sent an email to the supposed package director, Marsha Garrett, who sent the shipping information. I wrote that there was no way I was going to pay anything to ship their package and that I would have no part in any future corresponence with them.
I have not yet had the police or feds to my house. I do plan to report this incident. Hopefully I can avoid any legal trouble. I may come off as a complete moron, but it’s better than going to jail.

Nice post, I always thought that these kind of proposals where scams but didn’t know it was related to money laundering, stolen goods and so on…
That’s pretty scaring and it’s why I always advise working from home candidates to work with a trusting and legitimate company.

I found one of these on craigslist…

After 3 or 4 replies with no definitive information from them, but a request for all of my personal information, I decided to google “shipping /work at home” and found this site.

My question, is there someone or somewhere we can report this information to?

I received this the other day, can someone tell me if it looks as though it is a scam? The lady here has called a few times, but I still have no solid information. Thank you!!!

I also fell for one of those schemes. Looking back, I should have easily realized that this was a scam but I was not expecting to run into something like this. I responded to an ad on craigslist looking for a shipping assistant. After filling out a number of forms, I was informed that I was hired at $600 weekly. He even invited me to check out his ebay business quickclicksales which turned out to not be his. My so called employer Alex Nevsky supposedly ran a very busy online business and this re-routed shipping was something he did not have time for and also a way of saving the customer money. I was supposed to be paid bi-weekly and for two weeks I ran back and forth to the post office mailing out anything from car parts to shoes. After two weeks, I could no longer get in touch with “Alex”. The scariest part of this whole ordeal is receiving bills in other people’s names sent to my address. I spoke to a police investigator about but was informed that there was nothing I could do. I just hope law enforcement doesn’t show up at my door. As discussed I corresponded with an Alex Nevsky who listed his address as

121 w. 125 street
new york ny 10027.

I shipped packages to a “company” called A1 Solutions in Florida and even to an individual in Russia. The corresponding email address is quickclicksales@gmail.com. Beware of those names and be careful when responding to online ads

I received a message from someone that I added to my Yahoo Messenger list (whom I thought was a normal chatter) he was going to send me a camera, a unlocked cell phone and something else I don’t really recall.
He briefly describe how he wanted it sent, to someone else, out the the states too I believe not even asking me about this but sending the message of what he wanted to do. He stated he would pay me and gift me for it.
I laughed of course because NOW I am not a fool! Because of this site and also sad to say I was duped with a check cashing scam a few months ago. Which I submitted 1st to my bank for Verification and it came back as unknown account information, I was going to leave it at that but the guy contacted me wanting to know if I got it and BOY I let him HAVE IT! I contacted the person and they made it seem so real telling me to contact the bank again and give them his information and to just go and submit the check not knowing I already had but for verification. They must somehow get our names when we sign up for work from home programs because I have recently received many mailings with a scam feel to them! Again I want to say, I love this site!!!

Please be aware of a possible shipping scam from a man named Bill Vazquez, email address loopmaider@yahoo.com. I found this add on the almighty Craigslist GA. He told me I would be shipping books and clothes and get paid $1800USD per month, in a nut shell.

I am presently working with a company called GFS International. This is their website: http://www.gfs-intl.com/. I have been worried that this was a scam, but the site looks legitimate in every way. I sent off 1 test order and just sent a large 2nd test order to the Ukraine that cost $300 to ship. They sent me the prepaid shipping labels. When I received those I was reassured that the company was real. The products I sent couldn’t have been worth more than $1500, so I thought that was a lot of trouble for someone to go to for a little over a thousand dollars. Are any of these companies real?

They paid me thru PayPal for the 1st test order. I am still waiting for payment for the 2nd. I just mailed the package 2 days ago. If this is a legitimate company I hate to raise a ruckus, but I’m afraid of the officials showing up if it’s not. Is there any way I can check?

The name and email of the man I’m corresponding with is:

David Ray
Supplies Coordinator
GFS International
Linden Strasse 14
Berlin, Germany

Hi Eddy,

I recently was “hired” my Alex Nevsky as well. I received my first package today and after doing some major homework (after the fact). My warning lights are going off big time now.

I haven’t actually shipped anything yet and am waiting for instructions from my “boss”.

Is it possible to get in touch with ‘makeda’ who also posted about this same individual? I’ve only been able to find one such posting regarding this individual/business(?).

I’d greatly appreciate your help.

@Kira Scurro:
Dear Kira, Have you learned anything significant about GFS lately? I’m “working” for the same company and had an incident a few days ago.

Alex Nevsky is delivering a package to me tomorrow. After researching and reading the feedback on this website. I’m going to refuse the package so it is returned to the sender. Thank you for posting as a warning to me!

Hi,
My boyfriend recieved an email from a place called Eastline Logistics and I was wondering if anyone has had anything to do with them, or has heard of them, etc. The weird thing is that the email that we recieved it from was from a Arline Blaylock @ consultants.com…just wondering if anyone had any info about them…thanks!!

Hey All,

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person but this scam almost got me. I contacted Eddy to ask his opinion not thinking I should have checked the site. Thanks Eddy, you’re the man! I can understand how someone may be taken, it all looks legit.

The company to avoid is Union Express http://www.unionexpress.biz/. BE WARE.

Thanks to WorkAtHomeNoScams.com

http://elite-courier.biz/
seems like another one got this one from career builder sounds scam already

I started to go for this type job – responded to a craigslist ad for an ebay assistant. The ebay store is real and I tried to confirm the “job” thru them BUT 2 days later a package arrived. The person said I should relabel it and mail it out. I asked him to verify his identity thru the ebay store and I have heard nothing else from him. I still have the package. What do I do? Call the police? Call the company listed on the return label? or just give it to my husband for his birthday!NOT!!

Augh!

I am a victim! I tried searching for this as a scam when I started it, and didn’t find anything, thought it was an easy way to make some cash. Now I had a ups security guy leave a business card at my house, I’ll do anything not to get in trouble! I don’t know what I can do, I’ve made about 600 bucks on this so far. I have to call the UPS guy tomorrow. Any advice?

it is the same GFS international company that was posted a couple of months ago.
gfs-intl.com.

Thanks for the support! I will sleep a little easier tonight.

I just received an e-mail from a pamela G. wood stating that I had a ( get this ) a bank draft of 2 MILLION dollars waiting for me if I would only pay a 215.00 delivery charge to DHL courier service. They tell me not to be deceived by anyone that would try and get more money from me. The 215.00 is all I have to pay. She gives me a contact person in the name of Edward Paulson and a e-mail contact which is dhl_deliveryservice11@yahoo.com.hk The headline address on the e-mail is: (office of the DHL courier service 44 Garrick Lane F.C.T. abuja ) She said she deposited the draft with DHL courier express , West Africa and by the way, her or his grammer is horrible. Ever heard of either one of these 2? I know it’s a scam.

I think I have been scamed! I have been working for this company forwarding packages for the last 3 weeks! I have sent about 4 packages out and I have one box still at my house that I don’t plan on sending. I was contacted today from a guy with a foreign accent telling that I was working for a company that was about to be taken down by the FBI! He had obviouly googled me. He had information on me that was old and used it to say that he had friends in the FBI who researched me and if I want things to work out well I needed to work with him instead of the other company! I asked for information to verifiy what he was saying all he gave me was John Richards from Ohio. He gave me a website address that had nothing to do with the job he was offering me. I advised him that I would not take orders or request from someone I did not know and that I need to contact the FBI myself to make sure he was legit. He suggested I contact he contact. I told him no that I would need to do my own research. He backed down a little and changed his tone. In the end I told he I would not have anything to do with him because everything he told sound fishy. I contacted the company I am working with Cosco Logistics. The man I deal with is Michael Bronski and I told him about the call I got. He wanted all the details. I would not give him everything I got because I think he is not legit either. I kept records of what I got and I think there was some identity theft involved so I think I will be contacting the authorities. Regarding this matter. I am not easily scammed but I must admit this is a good one!!!!!!

I think I have been scammed too!!!! I saw this job posted on craigslist on Monday and I filled out a “application and faxed it back to them….. To date I have received 3 packages that I mailed off for them…. Once I found out me being only 19 (college student) I went and deleted the email where they said send the packages too but only to realize I needed that in case the police comes after me. So I have all the information besides the address they wanted me to send the packages too….

What should I do? I have already filed a compliant with the FBI through their website, Should I also contact the local police or should I just wait to see what happens?

We too have been scammed! We took the bait on the re-shipping thinking it would help us earn some much needed income after the loss of our employment. We should have know this was too good to be true. We were contacted via careerbuilder.com by an individual named Nathan Firl (nathanfirl@comcast.net). Who also said the home company was based out of the UK! With the promise of 30 days of service with the co. we were to be paid $3000 monthly; due to the hope of having this money, we waited the 30 days, and no payment or further contact was made on their part. Our family is now facing eviction! How naive of us!! Please don’t let it happen- be AWARE… as we should have been. I guess at the time it was in desperation and hopes that this could be legitamite!

Why would any legitimate company need someone to “re-ship” packages for them? Why not just ship them directly to the place they need to go. I’m just curious what these scammers are using as an excuse for why they can’t just ship themselves.

Thank you guys.

Good work Eddy. I found this one on Craigslist:

Now about a month later one of the merchants is asking for a about $1000 for a guitar amp that I unfortunately forwarded. I understand if I am responsible but I just wanted to confirm on who is responsible. thanks

********Avoid the preceding Job Scam ******************

Anybody working for Wideaccess Inc.?

This “company” offers you to receive packages, inspect them and re-ship them to Ukraine. I already received 2 packages and re-shipped them. I got my check already. ($30/package). I don’t know if this is a ‘scam’ or not. I found some information suspicius on the USPS labels they sent me to re-ship the items. They say that the items ar sent as “GIFT”. And the real value of the items is alterated to less. I don’t know if they’re traying to avoid customs fees or what.

I’m getting paid for my work, but I need to feel secure about doing this.

Thank you Eddy.

What can I do to prevent any action against me?

Hi, I stumbled upon a site called Forwarding Helper Inc. on craigslist. At first it didn’t seem like an all out scam since they were only going to pay me $12 per package I sent out, but all the packages were going out to Russia. Then I stumbled upon this site and it is almost exactly what was described. I’ve already sent out a couple packages and I’ve notified them I am not cooperating with them anymore and would like to know who exactly do I contact in case I get anymore of these packages?

I came across a vauge posting on craigslist to be a part time package handler. In the description it just said you would be lifting and moving boxes, so I assumed it was just a warehouse position and sent a letter asking for more details. The response was crafted very well but had some very noticable red flags. The Scammer claimed he was an architect working in bahrain (after reading this I knew it wasn’t legit) looking for someone to do this scam. They threw in a little line about not “paying any money out of pocket” and that it possibly leading to a long term position to sweeten the deal. I only flagged the post but i wish there was a way to mess with the scammers.

Hey Eddy , New to the site just stumbled upon it because am fishy of this job offer i received on yahoo hotjobs . the job was for this company mail boxes online . the site is http://www.boxesmail.com/eng/index.php .

A guy named David milosh Contacted me about a the mail forwarding position where i will get paid monthly 2,500 , They sent a W4 forum also a i9 forum as well . They have this online panel where i am suppose to log onto daily for updates of my work and check when i will receive the packages also take pictures of them.

I to have felt the sting of the rescission were in ,and i have been desperate for work . Obviously i have been fishy about it this company so im doing my homework i have all the emails sent from them since day one and ill be glad to give the password and user name to you eddy to check it out for yourself . Perhaps it could be a scam but it seems to me like they have a pretty impressive way to make them look legit if anyone has any info please help!!.

I have been working for Natta Market Group, Inc. for the past three weeks and I think now I may not ever see my money for shipping some packages. I also see now that I may have done something I should not have without knowing. I will from now on turn away the packages that are sent and email them and tell them I can’t receive any more packages. This is a huge blow especially since it is so close to Christmas and I am a single mother. I was merely trying to make Christmas. I have kept all email correspondence and all sent package receipts. Can you tell me what I should do? Please

Hi, just like the others, I also worked for scammer for 18 days. I just reported it to FBI yesterday, they said someone will call me to tell me what should do. But, until now, nobody call me. I’m so scare that the police will come to my house and arrest me. I don’t have any record from the FBI that I already went to their office and report it. Is there anybody know whether we should get a paper or number from the FBI that we already report to them? I already gave them all the documents related to this case. The scammer named their company as Carolpady LLC.. , their website is carolpady.com they sent me I-9 and W-4, and they have my social number, also all my personal identity. I already sent 6 packages, and now since I realized that this is a scammer, I stop to sent the packages and hold the other 6 packages in my house. There’s another 2 packages that will come and I’m going to refuse them. I read another website that said the goverment agencies will not take care your case if the total lost no more than $5000. I don’t know whether it’s true or not, since the FBI never contact me until now and just keep promising that somebody will call me everytime I called them. Please help me what to do now. 6 illegal packages in my home, no proof that I already report to FBI, and I gave them all the evidence documents, no answer from FBI. Could you please advise me with this situation?

Another one…

Does this sound like a reshipping scam? It does to me. What do you think?

@Eddy Salomon:
I was afraid so. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Eddy,
I need some advice. I am now in contact with a reshipping scammer. I found your site only after I became involved. Now I know this is a scam. I was shipped a computer via fedex which the scammer wants me to send to an address in Poland. I contacted fedex and had them take the computer back to pcmall in memphis. Should I email the scammer and tell him I sent the pc back? Or do I stop all contact and hope he’ll leave me alone? He has my phone and address. I did fill out an internet crime complaint form on ic3′s website, http://www.ic3.gov. The scammer uses this email address: work-at-home@gmx.us. He calls himself Thomas. I’ll include his original email to me below. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the Post from Ash regarding WAGNER LOGISTICS LLC. I didn’t think they were legitimate, but here’s the update. They are no longer Wagner Logistics LLC. They are PARCELFORWARDING.NET and a name of Jeff Schneider. Below is the actual message that I got from my inquiry to their job posting on Craigslist (San Francisco Area). However, because of the CL community being on top of thing, it got flagged to be removed right when I sent my response. I suspected that it was not legitimate as I wanted to see what their response to my email would be . Of course, I reveal no information on myself when I reply with the ad which only included “I’m interested in the position, please contact me with more information”. I didn’t use my real email address nor did I sign the reply with a name. Just to let everyone know, since the email address uses GMAIL, I filed a complaint to Google as to user agreement violation as to illegal activities.

THANKS TO FORUMS LIKE THIS WHICH ALLOWS OTHERS TO ALERT SOMEONE ELSE TO THE SAME SCAMS IN DIFFERENT AREAS OR GEOGRAPHY. I REALLY APPRECIATE READING ALL THE DIFFERENT SCAM. IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE AFTER A HOUR READING ALL THE DIFFERENT SCAMS AND WAS QUITE SAD THAT THEY PREY ON THE JOBLESS, LIKE WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH STRESS.

Ok I am SOOO tired of applying for jobs and they are tricks.. here’s the newest crazy one that I got in my email today, after applying for an admin/receptionist job:

The Hiring Desk of the company has reviewed your resume and we believe you have the required qualifications. This is a work from home data entry job and you will get paid weekly doing data entry inputting (alpha and numeric data) into excel database,work is sent via email and you will be working M-F.Earn $22 per hour

I want you to setup a yahoo messenger (IM) Mrs Debbie Warren and Instant Message this ID (debbiewarren66@yahoo.com) asap for the interview so you can get considered for the position.

Thank you,

Management.

@Brandy:
I got the same email after responding to a clerical position posted on Craig’s list. Had the yahoo instant messaging interview on Sunday, April 11. I knew it was a scam once I got into it and was suspicious before doing the IM interview but thought I should check it out and then report it to Craig’s List. No legit company does interviews through instant messaging and no one hires this way. As we were having the IM she wrote I am forwarding your answers to the Board of Directors. What Board of Directors is sitting aournd on a Sunday waiting to review answers from an IM interview. I asked questions and did not offer any bank info. She asked if I prefrred to be paid weekly or by weekly and if I preferred direct deposit or wire transfer and which bank I operated (not which bank I use). I wrote back that I would prefer check as I do not give out any banking info to stangers until I can check out that they are legit. She continued but avoided answering some of my questoins and just kept on then she wrote congratulations you got the job. I questioned her about working on Sunday and the Board of Directors being available to make the decision. I also wrote that I had never been hired via IM and didn’t anyone want to speak with me. The messaging stopped immediately after she wrote congraulations you got the job then she signed off. She knew I was on to her but did not want to give herself away by discontinuing the interview midway. I also wrote that I tried to find out more aobut the company by going online but could not find anything and she wrote back that they were working on the Website. People get a clue, no one legit hires you someone via online with no face to face contact.

@Teri:

AND THIS ONE ……………. OK I CANT POST EVERY THING BUT THERE IS ONE POINT HAVE TO BE SAID HERE
ITS SO OBVIOUSE WHEN THEY REPLAY TO US WITH THESE STUPID EMAILS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENCE AND THE QUESTIONS IS … WHO WANT TO HIRE SOMBODY HE DID NOT MET BEFORE NOBODY

hello.im new to this website and kinda wish i knew about this site a month earlier. i read some of the post on here and now im concern and willing to admit even a lil scarred about my new at home job (lol). in april. i received an email for a forwarding mail assistant for a company. i check out the website and every thing seems to be legit it even had where the company was based out of. so i replied that i was interested in the position. i filled out the application and all the paper work. he did not ask for my social just for my driver license. I also had a contract to fill out too and in the contract it outlined the position,payment,vacation time, advancement just about every thing that a real job would have. the next day i received a call from the employer and we talk about the position and the responsibilities and every thing. he told me that i would be paid by the month and either thru pay pal, western union, or wired to my account. he also told me that i would have to fill out my own taxes too and what form to use. after all the paper work was done he sent me a link to go to, too find out information about the packages i would receive. i check out the link and even called the guy 5 times cause i had some issues. after i resolved the issues a package came a week later. i followed all the instructions and even the ups and fedex people knew what was going on. i don’t know if this is a scam or not. like i said i check out the website plenty of times,I had allot of people read the contracts and look at the site too. but its still in the back of my mind that this job could be one. i haven’t receive my first pay check because it hasn’t been a full month yet. i did the search on google for work at home scams and couldn’t find anything on the company. i would like to know if there is any advice you could give me that would ease my mind some?

thank you for your time.

I’m in the exact same position as the last poster; been forwarding packages for about 3 weeks, because the company website seemed legit, they have a perfect BBB rating (the company name is Air Sea International Forwarding, Inc), and they never asked for anything they could use to scam me such as SSN or bank info. I got a written contract from them as well. I understand this is not uncommon in these scams, I’m just hoping that keeping everything may absolve me of any liability, because now they’re starting to scare me. Even though they’re setting up a company account to pay me with and still don’t want any personal bank info, they are saying in addition to receiving my own monies, I’ll have to disburse other payroll overseas. This set my scam-o-meter off. Just in case, however, I responded neutrally, expressing my confusion over why they would need me to do that, but agreeing I could transfer any funds THAT CLEARED FIRST. So, I will either never hear from them again, or they’ll try to get me to do it anyway, in which case I will take the complete email history to the cops immediately. I’ve saved everything I ever got from both the woman who hired me and the man who’s been sending my my tracking #s and instructions. It really, really sucks that people would take advantage of others when they’re just looking for a job. =( I’ll post again with all the company info if things go sour next week.

Hello I too was contacted by Air Sea International Forwarding Inc. And as well seemed very legit to me sent me a employement contract form and every thing. I was hired on by a woman Amy Brenner , who said that I would be later instructed by my supervisor Fred Thomson.

So Fred Thomson was taking forever to get back with me about everything, so I sent Amy my DL number I did not feel comfortable giving my SSN out to prove that I was not an illegal alien. Still no Fred.

So I got the companies main HQ number off their website, the guy who answered the phone was really rude to me and said he knew about the emails, its a scam and hung up on me. Then Fred contacted me, inwhich his email still seemed legit with orders of what to do. I replied him back asking if he could prove to me if it was a legit company and job offer. All I got in a reply was that it was very legit, they been doing it that way for 7 years and that they use different coordinators across the country to cut down on international shipping taxes?

So I reported the to the IC3.com incase something comes up with my DL# that I would atleast have it on recorde that I made a report. Well yesterday I got a email that made me feel just alittle better, from Fred, claiming that they needed a scanned copy of my ID or DL to show that I am a honest legit person. Any documents with SSN# on them I can black out the SSN# if I want to, reason I felt better about it, I felt like maybe they cant do nothing with just a DL# alone or they did not get the Email with the number in it.

I have not sent them a scanned copy of my DL, or ID. I replied Mr. Thomson and asked him could he give me his phone number so we could speak over the phone about this that I had some concerns and wanted to talk to him directly. So far no return emails. But reason why I wanted a number is one I can check easier with the BBB for legitment, and 2 phones are much easier to trace than emails.

The main thing that set the red flagg off for me though is their email tags ended with @yahoo and @rocketmail.com instead of AirSea.com.

Here are the email address that contacted me : amy.brrenner@rocketmail.com and fred.thomsonairsea@yahoo.com

Hello Mr. Solomon,

Thank you for having putting up such a great site.

Now, here’s my scenario. I came across a company like this a few weeks ago, and thought “hey, you’re unemployed, take any opportunity you can get, right”. So I signed up with the company, one that goes by the name of PBS Delivery Inc., based in Las Vegas. Today I got the call telling me the details of what I’m supposed to be doing, when my first package would arrive and more importantly how much $$$ I would be getting ($2800!). I then told my brother who then showed me a serious red flag.

That’s when I started to do some research and found your godsend of a site. So I just sent them an e-mail telling them I will no longer participate and no packages I receive will be forwarded and I would contact local law enforcement if I did receive a package.

My question is: what should I do next?

Thanks

hello everyone I found this website after doing some research and being contacted from a company saying I owed them money. As all the previous comments it was the reshipping scam. I have sent out roughly about 18packages and have15 more in my home and not sure what to do at this point and afraid my identity has been stolen as well as being responsible for various packages. Do I contact authorities ? I have contacted UPS and told them not sent out any more packages to my address. This website has been a major help. My boyfriend found this site after looking for other victims stories.

I saw an ad on craigslist.com that looked like this:

Once I asked when I was getting paid, unfortunately the Man said That I would reciev my pay July 4th and I never recieved my pay. When I called he picked up at first. I then identified who I was and Then he hung up on me. I neverrecievd anymore calls I’m really stupid for accepting a job offer like that.

Hello.

Few words about the position

We will ship the packages and correspondence to your address. You will have to receive the packages, check the contents and repackage the boxes if they are damaged. You will receive $24-40$ for the each parcel reshipped.

What is inside the packages?

Electronics: laptops, pdas, cameras, lenses.

=> What couriers do you work with?

Shipments should be sent via USPS, FedEx, UPS or DHL.

=> When is payment / salary paid?

We pay for $24-$40 for the each shipped out package. Before you get your first pay you need to reship 10 packages.

It will be 3-5 for the first time, then the amount can be increased up to 20-25.

We are going to send expensive merchandise that’s why we need to double check the candidates.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE PPL!

My brother in-law was scammed by Alex at bestshoppingdirectories.com. He shipped three packages out for “Alex” and is now fighting to stay out of jail. The police raided his home and pressed charges against him for receiving stolen property along with mail fraud.

People, please use your head and stay away from these scams. If not, you may find yourself in jail with a criminal record.

@Jon:

I also received this scam from “Walter Matthews” of ZX Market Group of the Netherlands. I went along for a while to see if it were legit, then searched the Internet and found this report and another of G Market Group from the Netherlands. I then told them not to send me any packages.

I’m so stupid for falling for this scam. I’m heading to the police station in the morning to drop everything off. Below is the email that got me

Dear Partner!

I’m, manager of HR department in US Brands LLC, Inc.

Monday, September 27, 2010 we have received your application for the position of a

Dispatch manager:

I’m glad to inform you that your resume (Dispatch manager) has been approved by the Staff department of US Brands LLC, Inc…We consider that you have some necessary skills for a position of Dispatch manager, and we look into your filling this position.

Below you can see more detailed information about the company and offered position.

US Brands LLC, Inc. is one of the leaders in the delivery services market. The company provides a wide range of services among those long-distance and international delivery, arrangements for any moving, escrow-service and counseling in the field of transportation services.

The company was established in Beachwood, OH however it has wide spread branches and offices network throughout the country and abroad.

Despite the financial crisis it was decided to set up a new company branch in your area thereby you are offered the position of Dispatch manager.

Dispatch manager position is connected with the assurance branch of our delivery service. In this office we come forward as a mediator between seller and purchaser of the goods. We aim to control the quality and status of the goods within the transaction and to control the legality of payment performed by a purchaser. Quality check of the goods is carried out in the specialized centers called “Packages processing centers”.

Packages processing center will be set up within 6 weeks in the business center of your city.

Dispatch manager – is a FULL TIME position in an office at Packages processing center of the company, working eight-hour shift per day and 5 days per week.

Dispatch manager is the intermediate between main services of Packages processing center of the company.

Main duties for the Dispatch manager include:

- Receiving orders for carrying out the escrow operations from the account executive and submitting the financial details of the transaction to the database.

- Control over receiving goods at the warehouse.

- Expedition of goods to the supplementary tests at the quality control department.

- Receiving the results from the department of payment legality check.

- Set assignments for shipping the verified packages for the company’s courier service.

Every Dispatch manager is provided with a well-appointed workplace in the company’s office. Benefits like providing medical insurance and corporate cellular services and Internet access may be additionally negotiated.

Now when you have a general idea about the position I’d like to explain some important organizational issues to you.

Before starting the work in our company every Dispatch manager has to complete a two-month On-The-Job training course. It is stipulated by the requirements to a candidate according to the job description. The complete course consists of two parts: “Courier” and “Controller”, duration of each part is 1 month.

During the course “Courier” a Dispatch manager learns the basic principles of receiving and shipping goods, tracking goods, and is introduced with the main problems that may acquire in the field of shipping goods. This course aims to train the Dispatch manager to work effectively in an office, so he/she will be able to give out necessary assignments on receiving and sending goods for the courier services, and will be able if needed to provide correct instructions to a courier about the best way of processing certain packages.

The course “Controller” provides a Dispatch manager with the basic knowledge of quality check of received goods, also the Dispatch manager learns to work with the software specially developed for our company.

These are remote On-The-Job training courses on the basis of Internet and telephone communications under the supervision of a personal “tutor” – the employee of our company. The process of training includes a period when a firm forwards part of its orders (usually they are inexpensive retail orders) directly to the employee who’s being trained (or any other address provided for this purpose), and he/she processes them, acting as a courier or as an controller, and according the recommendations and advice of his/her tutor. This way by the end of the course the Dispatch manager obtains not only basic theoretical knowledge but some necessary practical personal skills. The rules of the On-The-Job training course can be found in the Agreement in the Attachment to this letter, in the document “On-The-Job training course”.

Now we’ll pass to the important question about your salary.

The company is ready to offer you a monthly payment of $3500 plus bonus for the quantity and quality of work performed by you. Dispatch manager’s monthly payments may come up to $5000 with the bonuses. You’ll get paid also for the training period, compensation during the “Courier” course consists of $1500-$2000, and $2000-$2500 for the course of “Controller”, depending on the number of processed packages. You may find more precise conditions in the agreements attached to this letter.

At this point our interactive interview is completed. All legal aspects of our work are presented in detail in the attached contracts. I’m looking to your questions if there are any. If everything is clear to you at this point and you are ready to accept our work offer, you should do the following:

1) Print out the General Employment Agreement, fill out pages 1 and 5 and put your signature on the fifth page. Please keep the original signed copy of the General Employment Agreement during the whole period of your work as a Dispatch manager.

The e-copy of the On-The-Job Training Agreement may be provided in PDF, bmp, jpeg, png or tiff format, in resolution not less than 640×480 pixels, and have to contain the full size of the pages

Please note! We understand that sending personal information like this through the Internet maybe insecure, that’s why we strongly recommend all our employees to protect the negotiable document. For this purpose, using any photo editing program you should put the words ‘NULL AND VOID’ across the picture in any bright color. It saves your document from the outside using.

The e-copies may be made using a scanner or a digital camera.

3) Choose and provide me with an address where you are able to receive packages during the training period. At this address you need to arrange regular receiving packages from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.

Just fyi, I always check out the connections that these scammers use to try to suck you in. For example, TransMInc. is still out there (2 years later!) spamming people and using DHL International GmBH as the group they are part of. Per DHL they have no idea who these people are and do not work with them. Another GREAT way to check out a company is to look at the website they have given you and check the ownership at whois.com. Whois will show you when it was set up and by who. MOST of these spammers will use sites like Domains By Proxy as the owner and will have PROTECTED info meaning they don’t give a name, etc.

After that, I go to the secretary of state’s office and look up the business name’s state. I was recently contacted by recruitingandstaffingcareers.com. Their whois lists Domain by Proxy and they are NOT registered in the state they claim. They also list FL as their corporate address but their phone number is in South Carolina somewhere. You can also look up the supposed corporate headquarters address they are using by going to googlemaps.com. I found one of these scammers using a location that was in the middle of a public park???? Yeah right…..

Just a few tips and tricks to keep you safe from scammers. I also do NOT typically respond to free email services such as yahoo, gmail, live, hotmail, etc. MOST legit businesses will at least get a paid service email and those are traceable. Some will get emails associated with their actual businss name. TransMinc has a legit website host that allows them email addresses to but most of them are still using hotmail or yahoo emails. Why? Probably because their website host has caught on to the fraud and they can’t access their email account? Maybe? Could potential victims be that lucky?

It’s amazing to me that two years later this TransMInc is still pulling the same SCAM and nobody has shut all of them down. Very sad.

I just received the letter that starts with: Thank you for your interest! HR department……
I checked out the address on the Internet and comes up as a single family home. How can a huge business like that have a residential address ?????? COMPLETE SCAM!!!!

Hi

Trina,

I totally hear you. When I first got into this industry I never anticipated that one would have to worry about things like this. But this industry is filled with nonsense like this. But fortunately you have found this site. It’s all about doing your research before taking action on any of these opportunities and you’ll avoid stuff like this.

Just take it for a learning experience like so many of us have. There are legitimate ways to make money from home. Now that you’re on this site you’ll learn of many of them:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations

Thanks for sharing. I’m confident you’ve just helped someone else avoid this scam.

Thanks for sharing. A lot of times the scam artist will use the information of legitimate company when contacting you. So if you do happen to do your research it’s clean. But here’s an easy way to spot they’re not who they claim to be, check the from email address. Is it actually from …@LegitCompanyDomainName.com or is it from some free email account like gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc.

Visit the homepage of the legit company they claim to be not the website they may provide you. Then call or email that legit company and ask them if they have a position the scam artist is claiming to offer. They’ll probably say they don’t even know who this person is or the position in question.

At the end of the day it’s easy to spot this nonsense without even doing all that. Once they start mentioning shipping products etc, it’s time to say good bye.

Thanks for sharing.

thank you

I was wondering if anyone can help me here? I fell victim to this scam back in 2009 and did not know it was stolen goods and the police raided my house and took my computers and stuff. Well, I had the Secret Servic and the USPS at my house today wanting to collaborate my story with the police back in December of 2009. The police back then did not type the report to say what I had said to them and so I told them everything once again, obviously the truth. Well, they said they have to give the information to the U.S. Attorney Federal Prosecutor’s office in Michigan and they will decide whether to prosecute me or not. Has anyone else been prosecuted for this? I cannot go to prison. I did nto know these were stolen good and I am so terrified right now. I would appreciate any and all help ASAP.

Thank you very much for this information! I’m always suspicious when I receive a job offer that seems too good to be true… I just received this email today:

-Hope this helps. Best wishes to all!

Look if you’ve read all the comments above and the article above and this so called job sounds like many of the scams already reported why are you taking the risk? Especially when we already legitimate jobs here:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs

and personal tested recommendations here:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations

It makes absolute no sense to try something like this especially when your instincts tell you differently.

E Wheet shipping company aka maria polowski has contacted me with a similar almost identical offer. I’m so happy that I stumbled upon this page while trying to research this company, which by the way has absolutely zero presence on the web. Unfortunately, I had already completed the resume. If they ship anything to me I am going to refuse it! I have already requested additional contact info and if supplied, I will submit this to the proper authorities. Thanks again!

I’m not surprised. The con artists are lazy and basically use the same stuff over and over again. They may switch up some things but it’s pretty consistent. After all why change something that already makes you a lot of money. Fortunately you did your research so I’m happy you didn’t become a victim. Spread the word so others can avoid it.

Hey Eddy.
I got this email from this “company” after applying on Careerbuilder.com. I have been shipping products for them for almost a month now. I am due to be paid this week but after looking at this site I doubt that’s going to happen. I went to the police and the cop I talked to said to keep doing it and see if I get paid!! He also referred me to the post office and they gave me a number to call. After speaking with them, they told me this is most likely a scam and to stop all communication with them and return products to sender. I kind of want to do it for 2 more days and see what happens but I don’t want the Feds coming to my house! I haven’t put out any money or given any personal info other than my name and address.
I saw this same post on this site from 7/23/10 from Kevin. Same email but from a different “company” and different contact.I asked the Kevin if he did it and no reply. Any help would be appreciated, Eddy…..Thanks

Hello – About 1 year ago I was contacted from someone with the Secret Shopper business. The email even had a trademark sign by the signature. Yes it is a real business, but the scammer had a gmail address and was trying to get you to forward counterfeit money orders! You can call the money order issuer to have specific money orders/cashier’s checks verified.

Kathie after finding this site under my suspicion something was fishy I too got involved with Unikey. Problem was when I found this I already signed a contract and have had the first parcels show up today. I emailed the person who Ive been in contact with and explained this site and peoples comments. The persons name is Loie Tapp and not Grier Munroe. She explained to me that Grier recently got fired for stealing managers checks. Now the claim is that he is in jail and they are working on the situation. I would like to know if they are actually working on it with you Kathie or if its a blatent lie. I told them I would not send to P.O boxes because that is a red flag to me of illegal property. The packages seem legit they are from Newegg which is a computer software company. Im not worried about the packages because its not P.O Boxes but Im worried about getting paid. I applied for a warehouse manager position out of the local newspaper classified site and this place was the response. I told them I wanted proof of pay or pay after a week because I wasnt going to go on with this for a month not looking for real work if this is all a joke on me to be a free slave for a month. Dont get me wrong its not hard physical or mental labor its just the principle.

Well sorry to say I got bamboozled by a company callled Bristol Cargo Services, just wasn’t thinking straight and started shipping items I received, what made the red flag go up was a leter from a bank addressed to a mans name I didn’t know with my address, stating they had made his address change request. And on that same day this company said there would be a restricted mail parcel to be delivered, and it was the same person that made his address change…I contacted my local police and have given them all of my documentation, which I have to say that was the only smart thing I did was save everything, so they have a ton of information to continue their investigation…and hopefully if not busted than at least cease the operation. What angers me the most, they have stolen credit information from innocent people and involved me in criminal activity…

. I got an e-mail today about a job offer. They have my resume with number and address though which is kind of scary e-mail is as follows:

Thanks for sharing this one.

I just received an e-mail from a pamela G. wood stating that I had a ( get this ) a bank draft of 2 MILLION dollars waiting for me if I would only pay a 215.00 delivery charge to DHL courier service. They tell me not to be deceived by anyone that would try and get more money from me. The 215.00 is all I have to pay. She gives me a contact person in the name of Edward Paulson and a e-mail contact which is dhl_deliveryservice11@yahoo.com.hk The headline address on the e-mail is: (office of the DHL courier service 44 Garrick Lane F.C.T. abuja ) She said she deposited the draft with DHL courier express , West Africa and by the way, her or his grammer is horrible. Ever heard of either one of these 2? I know it’s a scam.

Thanks for sharing this one with us! Hopefully folks will avoid it if they happen to do their research and stumble on this site.

Don’t be worried. Just contact the proper authorities and explain what has happened. As you can read here on this site, there are tons of victims of this. And the postal authorities and other law agencies are aware of this as well.

I have contacted and submitted an online complaint with IC3, a division of the FBI. I also filed a complaint with the BBB.

If you’ve read the article above and the comments, you already know this is a scam.

Thanks for sharing. That’s what the scam artist do, they use real company’s legitimate brand and name. But you were smart to contact the real company.

I responded to an ad from craigslist and started getting packages a week later, I thought everything was legit because I checked MOYSE CONSULTING CO 1010 DUPONT CIR, STE L90 LOUISVILLE, KY out on the BBB website with no comments, issues or anything. I went yesterday to report that I had a job to my local Workforce Solutions office and the counselor pulled up this article. I was paranoid, since I had already sent 2 packages to the Ukraine already. I looked up our local FBI office and spoke to an agent who advised me that they dont investigate those types of crimes, so afterwards I went to my local police station to make a report (I still have merchandise at my home) and was told that they dont have the resources to investigate the issue but to stop accepting the packages, which is fine, but I have no idea what to do with the stuff thats already there. I contacted LILIANA MOYSE by email (the only means of communication I have with “her”) and told her I would not be accepting any more shipments. I wonder if anyone can help me figure out what to do with this stuff? I have packing lists with the individuals name on it as well as the shipper. Should I contact the person and tell them that sombody has stolen their information? I contacted one shipper and they were not interested in getting their products back so I’m confused. Pawn them? Sell them? What should I do??

That’s some scary stuff! I wish you would have found this article sooner. But thanks for sharing your story so people can avoid going through such a dramatic experience. It’s a lesson learned. Desperation sometimes blinds us. But at least now you’ll know to always do your research and never let emotions cloud your judgement especially in this industry. Fortunately you found this site and hopefully you’ll be well on your way to legitimate work at home options now. Thanks again for sharing!
