Package Forwarding & Reshipping Job or Scam?

1,190 thoughts on “Package Forwarding & Reshipping Job or Scam?”

1. I cannot believe this has been around for so long but I had never heard of it. They found my resume on Career Builder
   *(Why has Career Builder not had to disclose that scammers are pulling resumes? I was unaware that scammers were able to go into an employement site and get peoples resumes. That is messed up too and there should be some kind of message telling job seekers that all the jobs listed have not been vetted or validated)
   I checked the email addresses and made sure they were not a gmail or outlook account. I went online and checked that it was a real site, which it is. I verified that the number the “supervisor” who interviewed me called from matched the website information, it did. I even checked scam advisor which states that the company appears to be legit, all the paperwork seemed legit…I mean, wow, the only way to know it is a scam, is if you have heard about this particular scam even trying to do due diligence did not help.

   I filled out a W4, gave my social security number, address, and PayPal direct deposit information. I was given access to the company “dashboard” and had a “phone interview” and completed “training”.
   I cannot believe I was so stupid. When I saw they had received my resume from Career builder and checked Scam Advisor I felt that I did the necessary research and everything seemed correct and valid. I cannot believe there is nothing being done about this because they are taking advantage of unemployed people who are just trying to find a job so they can live. These people are stealing stupid stuff for no reason other than greed. Ridiculous
   I haven’t sent out any packages but I have to contact Social Security, PayPal, and others, I am probably going to have to close a couple of accounts because I gave my information. On top of that, I don’t have a job right now, so I am unable to get any kind of identity or credit monitoring, I just don’t have any money, which is why I am looking for work. I am just sick and disgusted with myself and with these people that cause havoc and mayhem scamming and stealing indiscriminately, with no fear to get caught and no conscience about who they hurt.
   Anyway here are some of the emails I received just in case it will help someone else::::

Norris B agrees to perform faithfully, industriously, and to the best of Norris B’s ability, experience, and talents, all of the duties that may be required by the express and implicit terms of this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of LAVERNE. Such duties shall be provided at such place(s) as the needs, business, or opportunities of LAVERNE may require from time to time.

   3. COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEE. As compensation for the services provided by Norris B under this Agreement, LAVERNE will pay Norris B $22.00 per hour. Every package is equal 30 minutes. So for every two packages Norris B will be paid $22.00. This amount shall be paid monthly. The date Norris B gets first package will be the first working day. Upon termination of this Agreement, payments under this paragraph shall cease; provided, however, that Norris B will be entitled to payments for periods or partial periods that occurred prior to the date of termination and for which Norris B has not yet been paid, and for any commission earned in accordance with LAVERNE’ customary procedures, if applicable. Accrued vacation will be paid in accordance with state law and LAVERNE’ customary procedures.

If Norris B is in violation of this Agreement, LAVERNE may terminate employment without notice and with compensation to Norris B only to the date of such termination. The compensation paid under this Agreement will be Norris B’s exclusive remedy.

   A person who purposely obtains property upon agreement, or subject to a known legal obligation, to make specified payment or other disposition, whether from such property or its proceeds or from his own property to be reserved in equivalent amount, is guilty of theft if he deals with the property obtained as his own and fails to make the required payment or disposition. The foregoing applies notwithstanding that it may be impossible to identify particular property as belonging to the victim at the time of the actor’s failure to make the required payment or disposition. An officer or employee of the government or of a financial institution is presumed: (i) to know any legal obligation relevant to his criminal liability under this Section, and (ii) to have dealt with the property as his own if he fails to pay or account upon lawful demand, or if an audit reveals a shortage or falsification of accounts. The above case shows that the person is subject to criminal liability under the Penal Code.

   9. COMPLIANCE WITH EMPLOYER’S RULES. Norris B agrees to comply with all of the rules and regulations of LAVERNE.

   10. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed delivered when delivered in person or on the third day after being deposited in the United States mail, postage paid, addressed as follows:

   Employer:
   LAVERNE
   Andrei Dalca
   2526 MILLEDGEVILLE RD C10
   AUGUSTA, GA 30904

   Employee:
   Barb Norris

   Such addresses may be changed from time to time by either party by providing written notice in the manner set forth above.

   11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written. This Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the parties.

   12. WAIVER OF CONTRACTUAL RIGHT. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party’s right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement.

   13. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of GA.

   • Hey Barb,

     It happens to the best of us. That’s literally why I created this site many moons ago. Because I fell for a job search scam too. But at least you did do your research. But the scammers have become more sophisticated with how they scam people. That’s why I created this post and you can see by the hundreds of comments how crazy this scam is. I’m curious how you finally realized it was a scam and landed on this article about it. In either case, I hope you’re able to stop the scammers from using your information. You may want to Google how to freeze your credit with the various bureaus so no one can open an account without you being alerted. I wish you luck on your search.

2. Just got an email about one of these today. Couldn’t find any info on it in particular, but found this aericle when I put some copy from her website into Google. It felt scammy to me, so I’m glad I double and triple checked.

7. This is an email I got from them…

   From: Amber Holder
   Date: Fri, Nov 27, 2020, 6:19 AM
   Subject: Re: Approved and Welcome Aboard
   To:

   Vongai,

   Your experience and vision will be a great asset to this group, and I know that the team is looking forward to working with you.

   Be sure to notify everyone (roommates, family) who lives in your house/apartment to accept all incoming packages, inbcluding ones that don’t have your name on it.

   You also need to check tour email including spam box as often as possible.

   Your training\probation will start when you process your first case.

   Below you can see a scenario and example of what you will be doing:

   1. Via Email you receive a notification about an incoming package.
   Notification includes: a tracking number; link to web-site to track status of the package; and a name on the package.
   Also accept the packages you are not aware of.

   2. You are to confirm receipt of every notification, with the words “email received”

   3. When you receive a package, send me an email with the tracking number of the package and words “Package Delivered”

   4. Inspect the package and make a concise report on its content and condition. Same goes for the packages you receive without advance notice.
   The report must conform to this form

   Tracking number:
   Item(brand, model#, color etc):
   Qty:
   Condition(brand new\refurbished\used\damaged):
   Packaging (tampered\not tampered with):

   Include a picture of the package and its content; a packing list\order details\invoice
   If there are different types goods in one package, put additional
   “Item:” and “Qty:” in the form for each type.

   You can open all packages.
   Don’t open brand new factory sealed packages.

   5. I will provide you with a pre-paid label and shipping instructions after I receive and review your report.

   6. Prior to attaching the shipping label to the package, be sure that incoming tracking number on the package corresponds with the tracking in the subject of the email.
   Incoming number – is a number of the package you received.
   Outgoing number – is a name of the shipping label file.

   7. Print the shipping label (PDF file) and adhere it to the package whereupon take the package to the nearest corresponding delivery service.
   Make sure that the bar code on the label is properly scanned by a post office clerk.
   When the package is sent just email the outgoing tracking number and the words “Package Shipped”.

   8. When you receive a label for a package, the package must be inspected and shipped within 24 hours.
   The clock starts when I email a shipping label for the package.

   If you have a question about a package be sure to accompany your email with a tracking number of the package you are talking about.

   For all Saturday’s deliveries labels will be prepared and provided on the same day or on Monday.

8. Dear employee!
   Your payday has been successfully updated in our Payroll Administrative System. Your first package has been processed, your payday will take place every 2 weeks after your very first payment (unless it falls on a weekend or a Federal holiday, then it will be moved to the following business day). Your first payment date is: Feb-04-2021
   Every time you will receive an email confirmation when your salary is issued, which will also include a reference number as well. It might take additional 24-48 hours for the banks to process your payment ONLY for the first time for security purposes.
   Please note, all packages MUST BE SENT before the paycheck is issued every time. Any delayed tasks might cause payroll to be on hold.
   If you wish to change your payment method, you can do so at any time you see fit to make it more convenient for you.
   Thank you!

    • Don’t feel bad. It happens to a lot of people.

13. I’m glad I got your email about this post today. I received the email below on 10/9/20. It seems that all the “scammy” emails I’ve been receiving have been from Careerbuilder, which is interesting. I tried to find anything about this company but there is nothing online other than an LLC listing. I replied with my phone number to see what it is about, but haven’t heard from them again. Luckily I’m smart enough to not give them any personal info, but I’m curious to see if they will reach out again. I’ll post here if I learn anything new.

    • I just recently fell for the scammers posting, I did my research and it all seemed fine until l it was payday. Now I fear I have gave all of my info and my have my identity stolen. This is not a good time of the year with kids tryin to be a single parent in this pandemic. ;-(

14. Entornopost.com emailed me while i was job hunting. i fell for it. i worked for a month and the night before payday i was no longer able to login to my dashboard and my payment was never made. the number that i used to contact my supervisor was disconnected. i quit 2 jobs to make i was home to recieve the packages. the company was in constant contact with me to make sure the packages were recieved and sent off.

16. Hi. I was almost scammed as well. From a company called kannaway company. A hemp company based in California. Data entry, clerical, etc. I was to talk to someone with a gmail address…I talked to him, gave my bank account info, then he wanted my log in and password, I said no way, he tried telling me it’s legit, I said if it’s so legit then they can send me a check for the stuff I needed to buy, printer, copier, etc. He still tried! I reported them to the bbb. First I was contacted on Facebook then to messenger, the woman told me she lived at a place my boyfriend lives! He even recognized the name! So at first I thought it was ok until this other idiot got involved. But now I know and am so glad I saw this website! Thank you so much and look forward to more emails from you. I have already applied for a couple legitimate work from home jobs. Thanks again!

    Normally I do some type of research on jobs you to see what all the details are but when your in a desparate situation and having family and financial problems and in this economy finding a job is getting even harder. my husband and I just moved and struggling so of course I jumped on it. I figured it was just like sending emails or postcards but nope I was wrong. I didn’t know what to do when I stared reading about how much of a scam this was and now that I’ve been doing this for almost a month im afraid of what will happen next. I have packages here still and I quit shipping them a few days ago and now they send an email saying that if I don’t contact them by the end of the business day that I would be getting a call from their lawyer or something about lost or stolen property because they made a police report or something. It’s hard not to feel ashamed or stupid and worried..

    Please people what ever you do, no matter how hard times are or how good it sounds, TIMES AINT THAT HARD TO FALL FOR THIS! don’t do it..

    • I did a job this for a month 2
      Company. I’m worried now.

18. Omg!! This is crazy!! I’m actually the owner of one of the company that those scammers are pretending to work for and post fake jobs (Relay Shop USA), we do provide shipping, fulfillment and parcel forwarding services and we are a real and legit company. In the past 3 weeks I started to receive daily emails about people telling us they applied for jobs, however we are not hiring. That s how we found out about this scheme, and got in contact with the postal inspector. I also started to research online and found this. Those scammers are really smart, they use real businesses names, so when people go look them up online, they do exist and are legit, however you guys need to be more careful and pay attention to the email addresses they are using, they can be very similar to our official emails but are not, their domain name will also be similar but not exactly the same (i.e. relayshopusa.com vs relayshopusa.org)
    It’s always a good idea to check online and get in contact with the real company directly like a lot of people are doing right now with us!

    Reply

    • Yeah it is. That’s why it’s important for people to do their research and it’s why this website was created. We warn people against nonsense like this and provide them legitimate ways of making money online.

19. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I got scammed too:( A couple months ago, I received the following email from an Elissa Sanders.
    “Because of swift growth the shipping company is searching for new applicants for various divisions:
    – delivery desk;
    – Packaging department;
    – Quality control department.

    Kind Regards,
    Elisa Sanders.”

    I replied asking the name of the company, (just for the heck of it) and not because I figured I’d get a reply. Well, to my surprise, they did reply; the name of the company was RelayShopUSA.
    I googled the company and found a website and FB page so I foolishly assumed that they were legit and started working with them in June. All I had to do was receive the package, get a prepaid shipping label from my contact at the company, Annie Wright, and then drop the package off at Fedex or USPS. Easy peasy. I worked with RelayShopUSA from June until last week, when I received a letter from the Post Office informing me that I was most likely working with a company that was part of a reshipping scheme.
    I googled it and came across this article, which was very informative and helped me understand what exactly a reshipping scheme was!
    I feel super stupid, but I’m glad to have gained the experience so that I can help others to avoid my mistakes.

    Reply

    • Don’t feel stupid. It happens to the best of us. Now you know better and have found this site. Thanks for being brave and sharing this with others to help them avoid it.

20. This happened to my husband too, for a month! They are also very responsive at first, then dissappear. They found him through Indeed.com so even on legit sites you have to be careful. We did our research too, so we thought. They were VERY thorough (had BBB credentialing, but also fake I guess) The companies were Shipway and Elquis. If it sounds too good to be true, it is! We saved all the info, and then we started getting notices from Paypal Credit, which these places used but by then we knew it was a scam. We feel really stupid too so but are now that much more cautious about everything online, at least.

    Reply

    • Hey I’m sorry to hear this happened to your husband. Don’t feel stupid. These scammers are really good at what they do. But now you’ve found this site and you have legit resources to check. But it’s good to have a healthy skepticism of everything online.

21. Hi!

    Are all package forwarding jobs a scam? I looked up the company that hired me which is FastPack Delivery and it seems legit. I also looked in the Secretary of State of Oregon to see if the company was registered and it is. What should I do? Or how can I know that it is truly a scam? I was hired a week ago.

You will receive onboarding paperwork, direct deposit forms, and a login with a password to the “Work Panel” where you receive Task. Once you are notified that a package is either being sent to you, or is Awaiting Pickup from a local retailer (Home Depot, Best Buy, etc), you click Task Received in the Panel. Once you have the package in hand, you click, Packaged Received in the Panel. You will receive shipping instructions for the item which you then re-package, and re-ship. You will be instructed to remove all original labels, and all invoices. The Work-Panel even has a live “Help Desk”. I began to get suspicious as the packages begin to increase in value, and the pick-ups were in my husband’s name, and the shipping labels were too. He was advised that there is a 30-day trial period before he would receive his 1st paycheck, and then his pay dates would be bi-weekly. He was offered a salary of $32,500 annually, plus a $15 bonus for every package shipped within 24 hours. I took pictures of everything, including the “Work Panel”. Now I’m praying the authorities don’t show up on my doorstep ready to arrest my husband, or me for unknowingly being “employed” by scam artist. I’m so angry, I could spit fire!!!

      It happens to the best of us. Thanks for sharing the details so others can avoid it. You should be fine. Just follow the steps I mentioned above to protect yourself.

    • I applied for a job on indeed.com like I usually do and Allmond Shippers called me and did an interview. I worked for a month and I was supposed to get paid 12/18/2020 and nothing. They told me my salary will be on my card on the 23rd and now I found this site. The supervisors were Danilla, edita, and someone else

25. Stay away from PobaCouriers luckily I didn’t ship anything to them and did further research to know its a scam their phone line never worked when I called but it allowed them to call me. The email looked like this: “Hello, my name is Jessica. We have a vacancy available for the position of a Package Handler. You are welcome to apply today! Here is more information on the position and instructions for applying: *inserts google doc for application* You will be contacted shortly once application is approved. Don’t let them know that you reported them so they don’t remove their website or any other odd details. Just cut off communication and completely and do not let them know that they have been reported so they can easily be found.

26. Hello Eddy with a y, I have fell victim to this scam. I got an email regarding re-shipping from a company called, “Goods Inspect.” A Quality Controller position. I sent personal information but have not received any packages. The “Company” says it works for Amazon

      Thanks for sharing your experience and warning others.

27. Hey, Eddy with a y I was just scammed myself this week with a job just like this company called Insight-Bridges LLC. shipping and receiving clerk
    I had a gut feeling about it but I said let me try and I did. Received a package under someone else’s name and like dumb I sent it. They sent me another one today I still have it I said let me look up the address that this is going to and it was the same one that the first one was sent to with the same name as the other package. I mean I looked up the company website it looked legit it even had the job on the careers page. I had a gut feeling but I needed a job I know it’s stupid but it happened. I just filed a complaint with ic3.gov. I kept all communications with this company just in case.

    • If I already sent my information such as my ID and utility bill what can happen from there?

    • You better get some identity theft protection and monitoring as I mentioned above.

28. Hello Eddy,

    Thanks so much for taking the time to write in detail about such scam as well as replying to the comments. I received the scam email today and immediately did a search and found this site. So, I just want to comment something here about the scam to help caution others.

    Few tips:
    1. They didn’t introduce themselves and the company they represent.
    2. The email address from the sender was “gmail” rather than a company.
    2. There were punctuation errors.
    3. The compensation was too good to be true.

    Here’s the email I received:

    • Why do you think it’s a mail forwarding scam?

    • Yes, sorry. I meant to say mail forwarding scam.

30. Common Sense dictates that you should do the research, if you think it is too good to be true such as Working at home. I was about to submit an application today in order for me to work at home, but before I did that, I needed to research about USPack Company and Voila! I ended up in this website! Not just I learned many things about the way scam artists do such as re-shipping. I am hoping Mr. Popo would get them and sentence them to life in prison.

    • Unfortunately when people are in desperate situations or want something so bad common sense can go out the window. I don’t blame the victims when this happens. Either way, I’m happy you didn’t fall for this scam.

31. I received a couple emails from these RA Shipping LLC and I’m so glad I googled the company name and position to make sure it was legit before I sent them any personal information. I’ll be sure to report them.

    • I’m glad you avoided this scam.

32. Hello, i currently fell victim to this by a company name shipcoglobal. The had me send all the packages in USA. The packages will come in a different name but they would make the pre-paid shipping label in my name. They told me that i will get paid $3000 for my probation plus $20 for each package i process within 24hrs. They had a portal that shows what type of packages would be coming with the tracking number. I even had few packages sent to my house that was not in the portal . They sent me a total of 12 packages but after the first 5 i sent, i started to become curious and research this . The website looked legit and i will get a text to my phone everytime a new task was in the control panel.After reading this, i said i am not going to send the rest of the packages out and make this company be known and also tell the postal cerivces about this.

    • Hey Zee,

      I’m sorry to hear that you fell for this scam. I think your next steps make sense.

33. I have been scammed by this company Shoppers Network U.S. LLC. Unfortunately, I did send off packages and I am now getting identity protection so that I can help to protect myself as much as possible. I really do feel like a dummy right now. I had instincts that this was not a real company and I did not listen to them. I am trying now not to get my credit destroyed. Please watch out for the scams people I did not understand how they can pay you just for shipping packages. Shoppers Network U.S. LLC. My payday was on 1/14/2019 and I have not received any money. I want to cry and get really angry but I have to work now on saving my identity.

34. Please help me. I am still receiving the parcels and they asked me to re-ship it through post office. I don’t know what to do. Now they are threatening me if i dont send their parcels they will go to police to report me. I am in a trap. I already re-shipped 8 parcels and 3 parcels are with me.

    Reply

    • I’m happy you found this article and avoided this scam. Feel free to share the articles with others.

37. I believe I was scammed as well. I received a email from a Julia Polanski about a position within their company. “Beta Sales Group, LLC” They have a very legitimate looking website, employee log in which as a sort of work board with emails, packages being sent, tracking numbers, inventory, pre paid shipping labels, etc.
    The hiring supervisors name Julia Polanski sent W-2, work contract, sent me their EIN number, business license and all. My husband and I both thought it was real. I had a phone interview, training, etc. The way it was represented to me was basically “Beta Sales Group, LLC” A whole sale distributor for companies that register with them as a customer. They send to warehouse/customer service managers across the US. The packages to be received are wholesale items in bulk and then they send a Invoice/Packaging slip to pull the different items to be condensed to a new order and then print the pre paid shipping label and send. For every 2 packages it is equivalent to 1 hour of pay. They even mentioned they were like “Wish” they were subsidized by large brands so that their customers were given the best shipping cost, time turn around. They even sent legit business address, phone numbers that do work. My husband even looked at the website, contracts, emails and it all seems “legit”.
    I feel like the biggest idiot not only did we fall hook line and sinker but, I gave them my financial registration, social security number, home phone info, internet info, etc. I received the first shipment today. It was addressed to someone else and our address. I tried to contact the company because, in the “company” work board I was not expecting a package today or from the mail carrier but, haven’t heard from the company. I just googled (work at home shipping/package jobs) and found this article. I immediately felt sick and told my husband. I am scared as to what is going to happen. It’s close to Christmas and we were going to do this as a extra income for our family. NOT to be part of a scam that potentially is hurting others at the Holidays. My husband and I are going to figure out what steps we need to take and start Monday when agencies/offices are open. This all looked real, I still am like is this really happening? Is this company really NOT real?

    • Hey Wendi,

      I’m sorry you feel for this. But it happens to the best of us. We’ve laid out what you should do in the article above.
      And if you want a real work at home job that isn’t a scam you have now found our site. You can start here. Good luck to you.

38. I guess I really don’t understand how anyone could fall victim to this. I mean there are SO many red flags with these. The very first thing that’s a red flag is why is this “company” emailing me? 2nd red flag if the first wasn’t enough to delete it is the type of job, reshipping packages, that in itself is a red flag as well then there is the 3rd red flag. Look at the spelling and punctuation in these emails. You can CLEARLY tell they are from overseas because NO reputable company is going to send a job offer like this EVER! I guess I just don’t understand how so many people don’t see this. A little common sense goes a long way and that’s all it is is common sense. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. The reason these criminals keep doing what they are doing is because people let them. The ONLY way to stop these scams is to not let them happen to begin with. As long as people don’t use common sense these guys will keep on doing what they are doing.

    Reply

    • I do agree that common sense goes a long way. And it’s something that isn’t as common as it used to be. That said I am not blaming the victims here. I think desperation can cloud people’s judgement sometimes. So many people come online looking to make money and there is this assumption that it’s going to be easy because it’s the internet. So folks gravitate towards anything that lives up to that. And for some folks it’s because they’re dying to make money online so bad they ignore some of the voices and red flags you’ve mentioned. So I get why it happens.

45. Another tip, if you fall victim or know that a company is a scam, contact your state Attorney General’s office.

    Several years ago, maybe about 8 years or so, I ended up finding and because I was unaware of scams like this, I tested it out to see if it was true or not, until very quickly I found out it was definitely not legitimate. I personally never lost any money and was paid quite well, but it was still not legitimate. I contacted the department of consumer affairs and the attorney generals office in my state and explained what happened. They actually interviewed me to find out how the scam worked, from start to finish, so they could use it as a warning to others.

    Even though local authorities may be unaware, I guarantee the state authorities are either aware already, or need your help in identifying these scams to keep others from falling for them. The truth is, even they told me that there is little that anyone can do to catch these types of criminals, other than warn others and keep them from being a victim.

    I was connected about a opportunity to easy money …all I had to do is receive packages, inspect them, print out the shipping labels that they send me and ship it out… But a lot of red flags started occurring, like; multiple recipients, shipping labels disappearing, seeing people having the same issues with alike businesses.

    I confronted them and they didn’t even answer in a business manner, they refuse to let me and my friend go against out unless we send their package off…

    They are stealing credit cards and buying goods then sending them.

53. I’m glad i found this sight when I did. I just was hired as one of these re-shippers. I have only sent out 1 package but have more on the way to me already. I plan to send these back to the companies with the explanation as to why they are being returned. I feel bad for the person that this fraud (most likely credit card theft) is happening to. I have an invoice that has the purchaser’s name but only a PO BOX to go with it. Should I try to inform this person there card is being used?

54. Hi! Eddy with a y,

    The following is another email that is more than likely a scam. By researching it, I was lead to find your site. When you run into these probable scams, always consider them bogus and make them prove they are not, rather than wishing to make them legit and fooling yourself into . . . more trouble you had from the beginning.

    By the way, I have been a WA member for quite a few years now. I just managed to pay annual dues so will have a year with no monthly fees. I confess I have not taken the time to do much with it up until now, but realize it has immense value. I’ll be looking to hook up with you on the WA site. Love what you’re doing!

    • Hey Chris,

      Thanks for sharing this scam. And I’m happy to hear you’re a WA member as well and you’re doing more now.
      Thanks for the kind words and I hope to see you at WA.

    • I’ve been doing this scam for three weeks now, not knowing it is a scam. Was hoping to get a debt paid, but now I know it ain’t gonna happen. Thanks for letting me know!! I do have all receipts and printed and downloaded everything just in case I need to prove my case to authorities.

    • I’m sorry to hear you didn’t find my site sooner. But at least now you know.

55. Patricia Gomez, I was also scanned by the same Person, Tiffany Hightower . I didn’t even realize it was a scam until she stopped answering my emails and I didnt get paid. I signed a contract and the email she sent for the job was so legitimate. I can’t believe I was scammed. Like you my first email was not from her but from Timothy McCartney. Her email is Tiffany_Hightower@skyline-ins.net. Her fake website is Skyline-ins.net. Please guys stay away and beware.

56. I put my resume on CL and have gotten numerous obvious text scams, but this one guy keeps following up asking if I’m still interested and saying he wishes he could meet me but is out of town, lol.. the scam is to reship items and he mentions no drugs or anything illegal and tells me I can open the packages and check them lol.. so far he’s been pestering me about sending my full address along with my email and I thought well maybe I’ll play with this guy, but I probably shouldn’t.. His text # is 805-386-9079, so beware!

64. I got an interview for the job position home base logistics manager, the company is called Intelligens Rem Temptationis HR Department or IRT. The interview lasted less than 10 min and same day, they sent me a contract to sign and requested me an ID. Thanks God I did research before sending my information. Although the company website looks legitim, the hiring process seem ridiculous, I have been looking for a job and it is never like that. The role for the position I was interviewed was the same thing you described before receiving and re shipping. I just wanted to let people know if you receive a call for the same company.

    • Hey Ivette,

      I’m glad to hear you were able to dodge the bullet because of my article. I appreciate that you came here and shared your experience with this company so others can avoid it. Please spread the word and share this article with others.

65. Hi this is good info thx for gathering!! The one thing I would add is that if you fall victim you should call your local authorities right away and explain what happened. That will be your best defense and that is the best way to try to catch the scammers (tho I don’t think current cyber crime departments are yet up to the task).
    Do you disagree with this step Eddy? Your blog almost scares people away from taking this step!?

    Reply

    • Hey Trevor,

      You’re very welcome. I’m not really sure if your local authorities are equipped or even aware of this type of scam. But the postal inspectors and some of these other sites I mentioned in the start snitching section do. So as long as you’re making some type of authority know, then you should be good.

66. Does anyone has any information on WR CO. I am currently working with this company i just hope is not a scam.

    Reply

    • Like I said above. It doesn’t matter what the name of the company is. If you’re doing what I described and others have discussed in the comments you’re part of a scam. The best thing to do is read the article and follow the next steps to avoid any problems. You’ve been warned. I know people want to hope that their variation of the company is different. But it’s not. So don’t let desperation misguide you my friend.

67. It is very helpful information. I also received the email for logistics supervisor position for a Australia company called WR Co.
    it is exactly the same as you described above. lucky I did not sign the contract. it looks suspicious to me.

    Thank you

68. Hello Eddy,
    I got a quick question, how and where do I turn in a company that had me get packages and then never paid me. The company was Express Shopping Service from Hamburg, Germany. Was supposed to be paid after 20 days, the manager that I was dealing with said my money was on its way and that was 2 weeks ago. Was told to turn them in with the FBI but the website just gives me the wrong number. I tried to get a hold of that job but the number on their website was disconnected. Their website is http://www.xpshopservice.com. Their contact information is the following: Anckelmannsplatz 1, Hamburg 20537, Germany

    • As I mentioned above it doesn’t matter what the name of the company is. If your doing what is being described above then you’re part of this scam.

70. Here is another company to add to your list, USA Trading international. They were advertising on Indeed. I actually looked into the company and it was at one time a real company according to the FL SOS website. But they were dissolved in April of 2017. The scammers took on the name and created a separate login page. Here is the e-mail I was sent (I was also contacted by a Maria Brisker):

    USA Trading International makes it possible for international customers to make purchases at U.S. retailers even when those retailers do not offer overseas shipping options. As a mail forwarding company, we gather goods that have been purchased from retailers in the U.S. and then deliver them to the end customers anywhere in the world. Our service is reliable, safe, efficient, and cost effective, making us one of the leading names in the postal address rental industry. Our services are used by individual customers making single purchases from U.S. retailers, and overseas businesses to establish a more long-term logistics partnership arrangement. Setting up international distribution and logistics operations in the U.S can often be complex, but our solution makes this process easy.

    We already have an established shipping network infrastructure that our customers and our employees can take immediate advantage of. Our employees also benefit because of our unique business model that doesn?’t involve operating expensive warehouses. Instead, our distribution chain is made up of remote employees who are located across the United States. These people work from home or their private office, which is an increasingly popular career and lifestyle choice.

    You can join this network too and become one of our shipping agents. The process of getting set up and fulfilling the requirements is straightforward, and you will get a consistent monthly income. The main requirement is that you live in the continental U.S. and are available to work from home or your private office during normal business hours. This is necessary so that you are able to receive deliveries at your address.

    More detailed requirements are below. If you meet the criteria, join our distribution network today!

    Requirements:
    1. Deliveries are made during the day between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m by carriers such as FedEx, USPS, and UPS at your address. You will have to be at your address, whether it is your home office or a private business address, during those hours so you can receive the deliveries. You cant have another full-time job as this will invariably affect your ability to carry out your duties as a shipping agent.
    2. You will need a reliable form of transportation so you can take the packages to the post office for forward delivery.
    3. Each parcel and package must be treated with the utmost care and attention. Customers use us because of the quality of our service, and treating each package we handle with the utmost care helps us deliver consistently high standards.
    4. You must be self-motivated and responsible.
    5. The packages you will be handling can weigh as much as 30 pounds. You must be physically capable of handling packages that are this heavy.
    6. You will need a reliable and fast Internet connection as well as daily access to a printer and any kind of digital camera.
    7. Previous experience in logistics management is beneficial, although it is not a prerequisite.
    Duties:
    1. You will start each working day by logging into our online portal. This is where you will see the packages you can expect on that particular day, plus you can print the prepaid shipping labels for those packages at this time.
    2. Next, you simply wait for the deliveries to arrive. This could by DHL, USPS, FedEx, or UPS.
    3. Once the package has been received, you should complete an inspection to ensure it meets our standards of quality.
    4. You will then process the package in order to forward it to its final destination.

    Compensation

    Members of our distribution network receive $2,000 a month in compensation. All agents who handle more than 50 packages in a calendar month receive a bonus of $500. Any expenses you incur in the course of completing your duties are also reimbursed. This includes the cost of fuel to get to the post office, packaging costs, and the cost of Internet access. We do not require you to make any investment whatsoever. We will send you a W-2 form each year, as is required by law. This will outline the taxes that have been withheld.

    Getting Started

    If this opportunity sounds appealing to you and it is suited to your current home-based freelancer career or lifestyle, please get in touch with us. Submit an online application form, which you can find on our application portal. You can find the link and vacancy code in the attached file.

72. Eddy,
    I have been working for a company called First Shipped (http://uc.firstshipped.com/sign_in). Same thing, receiving and inspecting, printing out their pre-paid labels and dropping them off with FedEx or UPS. Now the 30 day probationary period is over I have not received anything from them. Today I was not able to log into the so called DASHBOARD to check status of new and sent packages. After writing a professional email to the “manager” and when I could not log in, I started doing research and your article.

    I will follow your instructions, but I have sent about 20 packages already, I feel so stupid and extremely upset.

    Just to warn other people the company name is First Shipped, and Assisting Manager is Robert West.

    What should I do now? Am I in serious trouble?

    • Sorry to hear you feel for this. The best thing to do is follow what I’ve detailed above. It’s the only thing you can really do in this situation. You shouldn’t get in trouble if you follow those steps.

73. Eddy,
    I have been working for a company called Logistics Star llc. Same thing, receiving and inspecting,, printing out their labels and dropping them off with FedEx or UPS. Now that it is time to get paid after the 30 day probationary period, I have not received a check even though they supposedly mailed it a week ago. Today I was not able to log in to the website to check tasks, even though I received a package. I didn’t want to get in trouble. When I could not log in, I started doing research and found your site. I will follow your instructions, but I have sent so many packages already, I feel like an idiot.
    Warn people about Logistics Star, and HR manager Brian Hunt, and supervisor Jessica Stanley.

    • You’re very welcome. Thanks for sharing.

75. I got an email like this today. It’s not from a company, it sounds like they changed the scam to make it more personal. That way there is no company name to verify:

    Hi ,
    My name is Brian Martins, I am looking for someone who can handle my personal and business errands at his/her spare time. Someone who can offer me these services: Mail services: Receive my mails and drop them off at UPS (nothing illegal). Shop for Gifts ,Bill Payment Sit for delivery( at your home) ,Purchase of Electronics , pick items up at nearby post office at your convenience.

    Let me know if you will be able to offer me any of these services. I should probably tell you more about the job…… This job is flexible so you can do it wherever you are available and if there is a post office in the area. In addition to that, I don’t mind you doing all of the tasks during your spare time outside of work or school.. I wish I could meet up with you to talk about this job in person but I am currently away on business. I am in usa so there will be no interview. I will prepay you in advance to do my shopping and have my mails/packages forwarded to your address. If you will be unable to stay at home to get the mails, I can have them shipped to a post office near you and then you can pick them up at your convenience.
    All errands will be in your city/town so It is not a must that you have a car for the job, you can go places by bus or taxi. When you get my mails/packages; you are required to mail them to where I want them mailed to. You won’t have to put money out of your pocket, all you have to do is have packages shipped to your house and do my shopping.

    You are allowed to open the packages to reveal the content. The content of the packages will be business and personal mails… All expenses and taxes will be covered by me. You will work between 15 and 20 hrs a month. How much will you charge per week? I will pay $400 Weekly.. That is not a bad offer is it? I need your service because I am constantly out of town. I will return to CANADA in a week so this process will be on going till then. If you don’t mind, I will meet up with you when I return and then we can talk about the possibility of making this long term.

    Well, let me know if you are able to handle the position.

    Thanks for your time.

    I await your prompt response,

    Brian Martins

    • Thanks for sharing this variation of this scam Jason.

76. Looks like I fell victim, but at least they didn’t get any financial information prior. I worked for them for a couple weeks. Daily contact, always responded to my chat requests, etc. Website, BBB, etc. look legit, but why would Asurion send something to me in the US for me to send to someone else in the US. Asurion would send it straight to the customer. This is when it clicked, that and I came across this site. I asked my “manager” to provide proof that the company was legit and above board, and she gave me their FEIN, which I can’t verify without spending money, and the IRS won’t give out any information on it. The BBB said that they were not accredited and a scam warning was posted in their comments for the company. When I told the lady that I was finished with them and that she could not give me proof of their company being legit, she said I had to continue working because I signed a contract, and that I had to send them a 2 week notice, and continue working in the meantime… All the while, without getting paid. So I am just going to report them, return to sender the packages, contact the postal service and keep reviewing them on sites, to make sure others don’t get caught up in what seemed to me, a legit opportunity. The BBB even said that they’ve been in business for many years, but that doesn’t mean they are legit. The whois has the same info as their business and when put up on the map, the one address is a residence and the other is a industrial building, but that would be any business. I can’t see without going there and I live in a different state. When asked why they weren’t accredited, they said because they had moved locations and that it was in the process and would be updated in 1-2 months. I will paste the information I have received below, and if you want more information, please let me know and I will provide it.

    The company is called Hollywood Global Shipping Company AKA Servpkg.com

    BEWARE: It all looks legit, and the employees play along like it is…

    ***********************

    Here is a reminder of your basic job responsibilities:

    – Your working hours are 9AM till 5PM by your local time, Monday – Friday. Federal holidays are excluded.

    – The database will be the a tool you use to monitor the orders, download/upload images and documents,
    and stay in touch with me, and with other departments from later on. You have to log in every morning at 9AM and
    attend to orders and messages.

    – You are expected to be available for deliveries at you registered address within working hours. You are also
    expected to be easy reachable by phone within this time.

    – You have to monitor the database every 1-2 hours.

    – You have to respond chat messages/e-mails within 1-2 hours.

    – You have to process (check, prepare and ship) orders on the day of delivery, or latest on the next day.

    – You have to update the information into the database in a timely manner.

    – You have to report me about any problems, delays, and changes.

    – You are supposed to have a computer,a printer and a digit camera.

    *********************
    STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION FOR PROCESSING YOUR ORDERS.

    1. Begin your day by checking the list of orders in your DB and incoming messages.
    List of orders will be displayed on the main page of the database once you logged in.
    Messages are available in the CHAT section. Identification number (ID #) for each package is located in the first column.
    When reporting about any package please write/say this ID so that I can find it quickly among hundreds of packages in the DB.

    2. Tracking number allows you to know when to expect the delivery of each package.
    Click on the tracking number to see the delivery schedule for the package.

    3. There are 4 buttons for each order that correspond with 4 main steps you have to do to complete the order: REPORT, UPLOAD PHOTO, SHIP, RECEIPT.

    4. When package is received – check the contents carefully to make sure it matches the description in the DB.
    Click REPORT button in the DB to confirm that everything is as expected or report about any discrepancies/damages of the contents via CHAT.
    All gadgets have to be tested. Turn the gadget on and off to make sure that it works. IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPEN ANY HARD FACTORY SEALING.

    5. You have to take 4 pictures for each order: a picture of the original shipping label on the box, picture of original invoice that came
    inside the box and 2 pictures of the item from different angles.
    Transfer pictures to your computer and upload them by clicking UPLOAD PHOTO button, one picture at a time.
    Images have to be uploaded for EACH item.

    6. Order is considered as ready for shipment, when you REPORTed it and UPLOADed PHOTO. Then, our shipping department starts preparing and
    uploading pre-paid shipping documents.
    It usually takes 1-2 hours. Meanwhile, remove original shipping label and other stickers from the box, remove original invoice.
    Once documents are ready – SHIP button become active. Click it to get into the SHIP section. Here you DOWNLOAD SHIPPING LABEL and DOWNLOAD INVOICE.
    Download both and print.

    7. Put new invoice inside the box, attach new label outside the box with the clear tape and pack the box securely.
    In most of the cases you can use the box the item came in.

    8. Make a note of new label’s tracking number. It is located under the bar-code. It is a long number which usually starts with digit “4”.

    9. Proceed to the post office to drop off the package. Request PO clerk to give you a receipt for the shipment.
    If the clerk refuses to issue the receipt – request him to stamp an extra copy of the shipping label.
    As you understand, you have to print this extra copy of the label beforehand and have it with you for such a case.

    10. Once package is shipped, log into the database and go to the SHIP section again. Enter the tracking number (new one) into the appropriate field.
    Enter ONLY digits. DO not enter any other symbols, text or spaces.
    IMPORTANT: you have to update the tracking number in the database ONLY AFTER package is actually shipped.
    NEVER do it before the shipment.

    11. To complete the order, take a picture of the PO receipt (or stamped copy of the label), transfer it to your PC and click RECEIPT button to upload that image. After this step order is completed.
    ********************
    Please note that each label is valid for 2 business days. To avoid delays, make sure that you use
    each label either the day it is uploaded or the following day. If the package is shipped with an outdated label,
    it may not be accepted, be held at the post office for pickup or be returned to you.

    Each shipping label has to be signed to be accepted at the post office. Sign it under the bar code.
    Failure to do so will cause delays in the shipping process. In case the post office refuses to accept the package due
    to underpaid postage label – we will provide you with the new shipping labels with the correct amount paid.
    To save time please double check the weight of the package on the original and new shipping labels.
    Most of the time they are accurate so weight discrepancies and underpayment of the labels don’t happen very often.

    Status of each Order.

    You check the status of each delivery by clicking on its tracking number. New window will open, delivery schedule will be on your screen.
    If you notice the following status of the delivery: Intercept / return to sender- that means the customer canceled this order or we have
    not received payment confirmation and therefore canceled it from our side. Such orders will be removed from your control panel.
    If it is still in your system after 48 hours please notify your manager via the CHAT.

    Receiving a package.

    It is crucially important to receive all deliveries on the day scheduled by the delivery company. In some cases, missed deliveries
    may be re-delivered the next day, but they may be also sent back to sender if were not accepted at first delivery attempt.
    The carrier also sometimes has an option to hold the package at the local facility for you to pick up and not to make any other attempts.
    If the package is not under your name, you are not authorized to pick it up. You need a special authorization letter from sales manager
    and a copy of his ID to pick the package up. Your manager will provide you with the required paperwork but you should avoid such delays
    and be available to accept each delivery at the first delivery attempt.

    Sending a package.

    Target processing time for all orders is the same day. It is expected that you require maximum 2 hours after delivery to get the
    package ready for shipment (report, check the contents, take and upload images, etc). So any orders delivered to you 2 hours
    before PO’s closing time should be shipped the same day. An exception is when you have several deliveries scheduled for a day,
    and some of them delivered late. You have to wait for all the deliveries. Some orders may not have the shipping documents for 1 or
    more days. These are the orders, which are missing customer’s shipping instructions, or waiting for other item to be consolidated
    with. This is not your responsibility. Your responsibility is to accept, report and inspect the item(s), take and upload images,
    and use the shipping documents properly.

    When order is delivered, reported by you, images uploaded and you see no shipping documents available for downloading within 1-2 hours –
    request the status via chat. Your manager will let you know whether to expect the documents this day or not.

    Unlisted Orders.

    Sales managers may sometimes fail to add the order to the control panel or some orders may be followed with the promotional items sent
    by the supplier. You must report about any received un-listed items by clicking on the ORDERS->ADD NEW button, then fill and submit the form
    through the database. After identification, it will be added to your list shortly.

    Consolidated orders

    Inside the SHIP section you can see if order is going as a single package (in this case you will see only 1 item in the list) or has to
    be consolidated with other item(s) (in this case inside the ship section you will see a list of the items). Always carefully check the
    information inside the SHIP section.

    If you need to consolidate several items into one order and you cannot use any of the original boxes you should be able to find another
    useable box for the consolidation. Please do not remove manufacturer’s packaging in the attempt to make items fit. Whenever you have Priority Mail
    shipping label – you can get/order a box at the PO for free – just present the Priority Mail label. It is recommended that you have/get/keep
    several old boxes of different size at home just in case for a consolidation matter. It is not that is required often, however this should not be a
    matter of delay in processing.

    Please note that if you have only one set of shipping documents for several items it means you have to consolidate them into one box.
    One set of documents cannot be used to ship separate boxes and is considered by the postal service as a shipping label electronic manipulations.

    Always double check the items that you consolidate. In case you ship 2 or more items you should place all of them into one box and ship it out as one
    order using only one set of shipping documents printed from the DB.

    International orders

    During your probation month you will be dealing with domestic orders. However you may have 1-2 international orders as well. Shipping labels and
    invoice procedures are a little bit different for international orders. When you print the documents for international order, you will find that
    4 pieces of the shipping labels are located on 2 pages. Only the last one is the sender’s copy and you should keep it for your record. You have to
    attach the remaining (3) labels to the package in a special plastic envelope outside the box. This envelope will be provided at the PO. Do not forget
    to sign all 4 copies. One of them is a custom declaration. You do not have to fill out anything – all the required information is already filled out.
    You only have to sign all 4 pages.

    You have to print 2 invoices for all United Kingdom (Great Britain) shipments. One copy goes inside the package and the second one should be attached
    outside the box together with the shipping labels.

    Important: always check the destination on the new shipping label. If destination is different from the United States, it means that the order is
    international and a special procedure is applicable. Incorrect using of international shipping labels leads to long delays and additional expenses.
    AVOID THIS MISTAKE! It is also compulsory to read Help->USPS shipping labels guide section in the CRM.

    Letters

    Your job is to accept packages AND correspondence. Whenever you receive a letter/envelope which is not in your name, keep it unopened and send the following
    message through the chat to report about it.

    “I have accepted a letter for [name on the letter] today (or the date it has been received)”

    ************************
    Inside our CRM system, you will find HELP section which consists of 3 additional articles:
    Terms and FAQ, USPS shipping labels guide, and graphic User Guide.
    You have to read them once you have an access to the system.
    You will be provided with your login details soon.
    **********************
    The CRM is https://www.transvc.com and then you enter your email and their provided password.
    ********************
    Here are some answers to common questions you may have at this stage.

    1. Why packages are not in my name?
    You may see the names of our company’s managers or customers’ on the package – in such a way company/customer remain the owner of the package during all delivery stages.
    If the customer cancels the order or adds something to it we need to contact the delivery service as the owner of the package to request the return or any other delivery changes.
    Also, our managers have to be able to monitor and track all their assigned orders easily.
    Packages may also be delivered not under your name as a security measure due to the Company’s regulations for shipping expensive packages.

    2. When will I receive my first payment?
    You will receive the payment for your probation/training period in 30 days after you process your first order.
    After you are hired on a permanent basis you will receive your payment on the 27th of each month and can also choose biweekly payment option.

    3. What is the procedure of payment that falls on non-business days?
    You will get paid the next business day.

    4. I want to go on vacation, will it affect my pay?
    You have to inform me minimum 7 business days before you plan to leave.
    Please, tell me exact dates when you will be absent. You are not supposed to leave during your probation.
    You are eligible for 28 days of vacation per year, which may be used in blocks not exceeding 2 weeks.

    5. How many packages will I receive each week? Will the amount of packages that I process affect my pay?
    You are going to start with 3-9 packages during the training and go up to 40 per week when you work on a regular basis.
    Your salary is not affected by the quantity of packages you process.

    6. What should I do if I receive an envelope in the name of the customer/Company’s manager?
    Anytime you receive a letter/correspondence addressed to one of our customers/managers you should keep it unopened and contact your personal Manager for further instructions.
    During your probation period you have no authorization to work with any paperwork.

    7. How do I track and receive packages?
    You have to be always available to accept scheduled deliveries.
    In case you may not be available (important doctor’s appointment, family emergency etc.) – make sure someone (family member, close friend, trusted person) can accept packages on your behalf. Instruct this person properly in such cases. To avoid costly delays, packages must be received the day they are scheduled for the delivery.
    You have to log in to the database daily to monitor the information and ETA (estimated time of arrival) of each package.

    8. What carrier service will I use for shipment?
    USPS is the main carrier we use to send packages. However shipments with FeDex and UPS are possible sometimes.
    The information about carrier will be provided on the new shipping documents.
    When you receive and print new shipping documents it will be clearly visible on the shipping label whether it is USPS, FeDex or UPS shipping
    label and you have to send the package via appropriate carrier office.

    9. I uploaded the pictures few hours (a day ago), but there’s still no label, what’s wrong?
    New shipping documents will be available when the client pays for them, in most of the cases documents are available within few hours, but sometimes it takes longer.

    10. What should I do if the post office refuses to give me a receipt?
    Sometimes PO may refuse to give you the receipt. As postage is pre-paid some post offices are not able to print the receipt without actually taking money from you.
    You should ask the PO clerk to put a post office stamp on the last copy of the shipping label, the sender’s copy, take a picture of it and upload it to the database
    as the proof of shipment. The stamp has a current date and the address of the PO.

    11. What should I do if the status of an incoming package states “incorrect address”?
    Anytime you receive an “incorrect address” status, or anything similar, that means the carrier cannot locate you to deliver the package.
    You must immediately contact the local post office/courier service (UPS, FeDex, DHL) and clear up the confusion.

    12. Is it okay to destroy an original invoice?
    Once you upload the picture of it to the DB you may destroy it.

    13. Package came without the original invoice.
    The shipper didn’t include it. Sometimes original invoices are sent to our office directly, it is normal, please proceed with the package as usual.

    Friday, March 03, 2017

    Welcome to our team and nice to meet you!

    At the moment you have two options to receive your pay:
    – Direct deposit
    – Check by mail

    For direct deposit you have to submit direct deposit authorization form from your bank.
    For mailed check I need you to confirm that it can be mailed to the same address
    that we have in your CRM profile. If you want it to be sent to a different address –
    please advise this address including a zip code.

    As you probably already know, your actual start day will be setup once you process your
    first order. This day will be considered as your start day and will be reflected in the
    CRM system: My Account -> Account details – Account Open Date. Date of each next payday
    will be displayed there as well.

    In reference to your first payment it is required that you email me 3 business days
    before your first payday to re-confirm that your preferred payment method and
    payment information remains unchanged. You will receive necessary tax forms in reply.

    You are on a probation period. At the end of it, your manager will submit his report on
    your performance to our management team which will consider offering you a permanent
    position. If you are offered a permanent position, you will have to complete and submit
    IRS W-4 tax form and USCIS I-9 form before we process your payment. If not – your
    probation month will be considered as an independent contractor basis and we will send
    you your 1099-MISC form followed by your paycheck.

    So when you email me 3 days before your first payday, I will provide you with the necessary tax forms.

    For your probation month you earn $2000 base rate + $100 transport expenses compensation = $2100/month

    After successful completion of a probation period, once you are on a permanent position, you have an option of bi-weekly payments.

    On a permanent position you earn $2300 base rate + $200 transport expenses compensation = $2500/month

    Sometimes you may have some job-related expenses such as clear tape, ink cartridges, printer, camera etc. You are eligible for reimbursement against receipts for such purchases. You have to submit them to me via email.

    I wish you a good luck on this position and all the best. Hope you enjoy working in our team and pass your probation worthily.

    Our Company was accredited with the Better Business Bureau , however recent status changed due to re-accreditation process associated with the relocation of the company to the city of Morgan Hill. This should be fixed within a month or two.

    I have provided you with all the possible proof that I’m able to provide, the flow of the company id quite big and unfortunately we have no time to deal with every case of mistrust, you could have made your background check before you had signed a contract. Now, if you have some doubts feel free to send HR your 2 weeks notice, the packages in your possession have to be processed as well

78. Been working for a guy name Victor Rivera doing shipping and repackaging. Now that the time has come for me to get paid, he has many excuses and will not take my call. Has anyone ever heard of Next step logistics LLC?

    • Hey Debbie,

      As I mentioned above, it doesn’t matter what the name of the company is or the person you’re working with. If it sounds like what I described above you need to follow the steps I listed because you’re a victim of this scam. I know people want to hold out that it may be different for them but it won’t be. So just accept it for what it is and take the steps I laid out to avoid any issues.

    US Trading and Logistics has become a trusted name in the postal address rental industry and has enabled thousands of international customers to enjoy products from U.S. retailers that don’t normally offer shipping overseas.

To put it simply, we gather the desired goods from the U.S. retailers and then safely deliver them to destinations around the globe at a reasonable cost.

    Individual citizens and larger companies rely on our services for direct purchasing or for logistics partnerships. The process of international logistics and distribution can be extremely complicated, but our approach eliminates many of those obstacles. By establishing a global mailing network, the deliveries are accomplished faster, and everyone benefits””the retailers, network employees, and international customers. This strategy eliminates the need for large warehouses, significantly lowering costs while also benefiting from a unique distribution system formed by remote employees across the globe.

    If you want to join this constantly expanding network of international distributors, it’s actually quite easy, and you can add a consistent revenue stream to your income! The primary requirement to be a shipping agent for the company is working from home, or being at home during normal working hours. Beyond maintaining a high presence at home to receive deliveries, you also need to live in the continental United States.

    Job Requirements:

    1. In order to receive and handle all deliveries, you must be at your home office or designated private business address from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
    2. We deal with major international carriers and postage companies, including UPS, USPS, and FedEx; your address must be accessible for delivery by these carriers.
    3. A secondary full-time job is prohibited as it will compromise the quality and reliability of your work.
    4. This job will involve regular trips to the post office, so reliable transportation is essential to perform all of the required tasks.
    5. The company’s reputation and future success is dependent on customer service, so only the highest standards of care for parcels and packages will be acceptable.
    6. Self-motivation and a strong sense of responsibility is crucial to success in this job.
    7. In terms of physical tasks, packages can weigh up to thirty pounds, and workers must be able to regularly and safely handle this amount of weight.
    8. To do this job effectively and efficiently, members of our distribution network will need a fast Internet connection, a digital camera, and a printer.
    9. Any type of logistics management experience or prior work as a delivery professional is preferred for members of our network, but it is not required.

    Primary duties:

    1. Login to our company’s online portal to monitor your daily workload, and download and print prepaid shipping labels.
    2. Accept parcels and letters sent to your residential or private business address via USPS, DHL, UPS, and FedEx.
    3. Inspect packages and photograph contents of packages to ensure quality standards are met.
    4. Process, and then forward both packages and letters to their destinations.
    5. Remain in communication with our office through phone and email.

    Compensation

    If you are accepted into our international distribution network, you will receive a monthly compensation of $2,000. A $500/month bonus is also available for all delivery agents who receive and handle more than 50 packages per month.
    As a network member, there will be a number of inherent expenses, such as fuel costs, packaging materials, and Internet access. We do not require any personal investment on the part of our distribution agents, so all of these expenses will be reimbursed!
    According to standard tax law, all distribution agents will receive a W-2 form at the end of each year, reporting what relevant taxes have been withheld.

I have been doing as they asked and that is get packages in open them inspect the contents, take pics, upload invoices and ship out. been corresponding with them all the way up to today and thats when i was supposed to get my first check. I dont know what to do.

    • Lyndi,

      As I said above, if the job sounds like what I described above, its a scam. In which case follow the advice I listed above.

83. My lady and I unfortunately became victims of this scamming company called USA ProPack. We suspected it to be kind of weird based on the initial emails we’ve received but she decided to follow through before me and begin corresponding via email with the fraudulent company and looked them up. She said at first everything seemed legit and they begin sending packages. Then I begin to follow suit and started getting more suspicious as I thought about it. Well always follow your first instance is what you learn early in life. We begin doing some more research on the company and things didn’t add up. We tried calling the numbers on shipping labels and none for them were working. They also called me from “BLOCKED NO CALLER ID” numbers. Thats when I knew it was not legit and immediately emailed them and told them not to send me anything and informed my girl to do the same. We then begin reading some online reviews in regards to “work from home scams” and your website popped up. Long behold the same experiences your viewers are sharing is the identical situation we have. She’s only received 4 packages and sent off 2 unfortunately but now we are returning the other 2 packages to there sender immediately! Please be on the look out for this company! Randell Hayes, Tim Peldger are 2 of the people we corresponded with! If anyone sees this company or heard about them, REPORT REPORT REPORT!!!!!!

84. My Paypal account was charged for $2400 for cellphones and I still have the name and address for the person that I believe must be the mail middleman. Unfortunately, he is a retired Sheriff of the county he lives in, and I doubt if local law would be interested in him. I got the order cancelled, so no money was lost and I’m sure no goods were shipped, but I would like this looked into. What do you think?

    Reply

    • Hey Jess, I’m glad you were able to get your money back.
      I would still follow the tips listed in the article above. The name of the middleman may not be the actual person engaged in this. So it’s probably not the sheriff you think it is. But they could be using his identity. So keep that in mind. Feel free to share any emails you got from the scammer here to help others avoid this scam.

85. Please help me determine if this is legit or not:

87. USA Logist is another scam company. I got a similar email from Career Builder for them and it is a scam. I have since filed a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney General’s office in Colorado where they are based and I hope they get shut down. The only money I lost was the monthly wage I was to get plus bonuses for packages processed($2580). These companies need to be held accountable for their actions.

    Please note that we offer home based employment and you will be responsible for receiving and forwarding various packages and letters delivered to your house.

Our customers (US citizens only) complete a personal identity verification process directly in our regional offices. They also choose a regional address of our employee who will deal with their business correspondence and regular mail.
    We initiated this forwarding and shipping service mainly because some companies/online shops do not ship outside the US. And our clients use the services of our company to be able to keep an eye on their regular mail or receive packages just in time all over the world.
    We have lots of warehouses located in different countries where our client is always able to receive this order/envelope.
    That is why forwarding and shipping service provided by our company is very convenient for US citizens residing outside the USA territory. Therefore there is a constant need to have multiple local agents in different states.

92. Hello,

    I received emails like Anida who posted in December 2015, basically word-for-word except a different company – the company contacting me is called AllGood Logistics, Inc.

    They have an active website and are even registered and current-active since 2011 with the Secretary of State in North Carolina so makes them look legit but couldn’t get the person contacting me to actually call me and when I tried calling them, the phone number is disconnected.

    I did try doing an internet search with their name and scam and there is not any complaints with this specific company name but like I said, exactly the same emails as Anida got with just different names.

    I was feeling like something wasn’t quite right so I’m really happy I found your website and looked through the comments!

93. I just want to let people know about this company: eparceler LLC. when I was “hired” I looked up job scams, it just seemed too easy to be a job. and I found nothing on this particular company. and the company website looked legit. but I still had unanswered questions. why are these packages coming to me for me to just turn around and ship them to someone else.
    the person I was communicating with seemed very fake and the packages weren’t in my name that they sent. I wish I would have found this site before I got caught up in this. I never even got money. or in trouble for anything. which I’m lucky for. I cant imagine how mad I would feel if I got in trouble.

94. Hi Eddy,

    Thank you for the article and for posting everyone’s experiences with this scam. I just received the emails below and I was in the process of “getting hired” when that little voice in my head said “if it sounds too good to be true”. I then started searching the internet for any information about this type of service and came across several scam sites warning people to stay far away. I have even spoken with a woman who claims she would be my supervisor. I could not understand a word she said which further deepened my suspicions that it was a scam. I am an intelligent, college educated person and I almost fell for it. Thankfully I did not send them any personal information other than my name and address. I certainly will not continue on with the hiring process and will report the website, names used and the phone number that was used to call me to the authorities.

    Please everyone run far, run fast and remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t let your desperation cloud your judgement when it comes to making money online. I have been scammed more than once, but I still continue to search for that elusive work-at-home position that will provide me with a decent income for an honest day’s work. I know it exists and I will keep searching.

95. I fell victim to this as well. I have worked for the company for a month and when it came time to get paid, the phone numbers all of a sudden didn’t work and I can’t get into the dashboard. Needless to say that I did not get paid any of the money for the work that I had been doing all month. I had talked to my supervisor with that company everyday for that month that I worked for them. Here is the copy of the ad that I received. No money exchanged hands and they even sent me shipping material. I still have about 10 boxes in my garage that I haven’t taken care of yet. I have gained a reference number from the Federal Trade Commission and with your advice I also put a complaint in with the Postal Service. No response from either yet.

     Set about a interesting stable work at home career in Shipping with no investment or initial expenses.

     You have the possibility to work all alone without excessive control. Your salary is $2500 payable monthly.

     The vacant position doesn’t expect you to work at office everyday. You may keep within doors and enjoy time with everything and everyone you like during the day.

     This high-paid job vacancy is proposed by a large US shipping enterprise which allows its foreign customers to receive shipments in the United States and then send it to their point of destination via an efficient cloud-based system. The customers are especially companies from oversea that have customers in the U.S. or purchase and sell goods in USA.

     Responsibilities:

     – Enter your online profile at the company’s site to get a list of current packages, your daily assignments, and the pre-paid shipping documents for forwarding the mail and boxes.
     – Be at home to receive parcels and mail forwarded to your legal or business address by USPS, UPS, and FedEx during regular working hours.
     – Send the mail to customers by applying invoices and pre-paid shipping markings and delivering the mail to the nearest USPS point.
     – The packages usually include everyday items such as, electronics or sports articles.

     Key Requirements:

     – U.S. resident with a postal address.
     – The things you need to have include a computer with a printer and any digital camera.
     – Use a transportation for delivering the letters and parcels at a stated time or live near USPS offices.
     – Desire to work all alone without excessive control.
     – Physical ability to lift up to 23 lb.
     – The job is full-time and is not combined with another occupation.

     If you want to get started with our employment opportunity, please send us your response to this email. Expect further information from us within 48-76 hours.

     I have all of my information and will forward all of it to the authorities. This company address goes to a UPS store. Where they had me ship the package was to another UPS store. There wasn’t a company name on the package when received and they printed my name on the shipping label. The 800 number on one of the websites said their marketing director is Christine C. Dendy and when i call it was a hotel reservation customer service line. When i call any number i was given for them, no one ever answers no matter what number you press. 941-877-5724 & 941-877-5724 & 800-800-8000 & 800-781-0318. Finally I called the BBB and they couldn’t find a company under the phone numbers I had nor the the business name. Fortunately they pulled it up under the LLC. #L15000148571. This brought up information about a company but nothing to solidify who they were and what they were in business for.

     I hope this helps. As for me Lesson learned.

     There’s nothing legitimate about this outfit. The first parcel I was to ship was to a Russian address but with the country listed as Finland. The second parcel I sent got intercepted by Australia Post here and I got a phone call from the security team at AusPost saying this outfit are scammers buying stuff with stolen credit cards and re-selling the goods on the Russian black market. My local police are aware of this now and I’ve told this “Daniel” fellow to stop sending stuff, as the police and AusPost are intercepting it all.

     I regret ever falling for this scam, and I’m just glad it never cost me a cent or got me into legal trouble. Just a cautionary tale for anyone else interested.

     Value Shopper Pro is an online logistics company, with a brick-and-mortar presence in Florida, that enables people and companies to rent a postal address in the USA. We work with overseas companies that purchase and sell goods from the U.S., and with individuals who travel abroad frequently. Many U.S. retailers do not deliver outside the USA. We serve overseas clients who purchase items in the U.S., pay for them, and have them delivered worldwide via our network of shipping locations.

     We continuously innovate and add value for clients. We do this by utilizing hi-tech solutions, efficient warehousing techniques and HR methods. Our telecommuting approach allows us to offer the widest number of mail forwarding addresses.

     The job.

     This role is suitable for you, if you spend the majority of your day at home and don’t have a full-time employment. It’s a good opportunity to become independent, earn good money, or add to your pre-existing income by handling our client’s mail at your home. We are also open to working with you, if you have a business office address. There are no costly training courses and no start-up fees. We accept people from anywhere in the continental USA.

     Duties :

     – Receive notifications and upload reports via your online account
     – Be on-site, ready to accept incoming mail, from 10am – 6pm, M-F
     – Check all packages for transit damage, then process and repack them
     – Ensure all packages match the order, photograph the contents and upload them to the web
     – Forward packages to clients from the closest postal locations (using our prepaid shipping labels)

     Requirements:

     – Easy access to a USPS office

     a prerequisite.

     What we offer:

     – Basic pay of $24,000 ($2000 payable monthly)
     – Performance pay ($500 per month maximum) for handling 50+ client orders per month – A refund of all costs, including internet access costs, packaging costs,
     and fuel
     – All relevant taxes will be deducted before we send your salary. At year end, we will send your W-2 form, listing your wages and deductions for tax

     Safety and Security.

     We take your safety and security seriously. Every package you handle will contain everyday items: consumer electronics, clothes, car parts, sports items, etc. We accept only fully paid items and work only with verified clients. Each client undergoes a phone interview. Then they must send in two forms of ID, plus a USPS 1583 form, signed by a notary.

     Considering us?

     Join the millions of Americans now choosing to telecommute. The last US Census illustrated the rapidly growing number of people doing this. A recent report by World at Work, a non-profit, found that 75% of people, when offered the opportunity to work remotely, reported an extremely positive effect on job satisfaction.

     Please read our contract, then print and complete the enclosed application form and return it to us via email or fax. To find out more about us, please check our corporate website by clicking on the link in the application form.

     About Us.

     Logistics International Forwarding Inc is a cloud logistics company that allows our international customers to receive shipments in the United States and then forward it to their destination. We deal mainly with companies from overseas that have customers in the USA or buy and sell goods in America. Our company strongly believes in the remote employment approach because it allows us to decrease warehousing costs and provide shipping points from across the USA.

     We require people that can work independently and are able to maintain regular contact with us by phone and email. Your responsibilities will include accepting, processing and forwarding parcels and letters sent to your residential or private business address. This includes printing shipping labels, invoices, and taking photos of the contents of each package. You can expect deliveries from USPS, DHL, UPS, and FedEx to your address during regular business hours from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. Using your online account at our company’s website, you will find a list of incoming shipments, your daily work tasks, and the shipping labels for forwarding the letters and parcels. The process is simple and easy and the shipping labels are prepaid.

     We reimburse all possible expenses and you will not need to fill out any documents or forms. The only tools you will need to supply are a home computer with a printer and any digital camera. You will also need transportation for delivering the letters and parcels to the relevant USPS offices in a timely manner.

     Compensation for this position is $2,000 monthly plus a monthly bonus of $500 if the number of orders exceeds 50 in any month. Our employees are subject to all applicable taxes. A W-2 form will be prepared and issued annually.

     Safe and Secure.

     Rest at ease, you will be safe and secure while working for us. You will not be handling hazardous materials or illegal contraband. Every customer goes through a careful and complete verification process. The parcels usually contain everyday items such as, electronics, clothing, auto parts or sporting goods. While working for us, you will be inspecting the majority of parcels yourself. We handle only fully paid shipments and we never deal with any customers that cannot be verified as a legitimate business and have a valid reason for using our services. This is all clarified during our phone interviews with the customers and at which time they must send us two types of ID as well as a 1583 form signed by a notary.

     Your Next Step.

     Please find attached the application form, fill it out and return it to us via email or fax. You should get acquainted with the draft of your employment agreement which is also attached. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call us at 305-440-4265 or e-mail us back.

       Thanks for sharing the contact information. But can you share the email and job description they emailed you. That will help folks as well.

109. Hello – you can add Shipping Across Management to the list of companies doing the “reshipping” scam. Rec’d an email from Olivia Johnson with all of the typical wording associated with this scam. Had an “application” attached, (which I did not open.) The email indicated that the website address for the company was am-shipping.com which redirects you to a legitimate looking website for Shipping Across Management. If anyone else receives the same email don’t waste your time and just let it go . . .

I have received your resume, and we want to offer you a position of Shipping inspector, which is available at this moment. I have attached the job description, please reply if you are interested. We have a paid training period (4-7 days).
     If you are NOT interested, just inform me so i wont have to email you twice

     I know it’s fake.
     First of off. I do not open any attachments in email from people I do not know.
     Secondly, I’ve contacted this company. Because it’s a real company. I told them about this.

     How I found this site, whenever I get a job offer of craigslist. I always copy the email and paste it into google. The first link was this site.

     People are looking for legitimate work, and you have all these BS scammers out there.
     I never had any job offers through craigslist. I’ve found a few legit jobs on there. But I always contact them first.

     • Kathy,

       I think you already know this is a scam to be avoided my friend.

115. Oh my god I believe that I am involved in this scam and I am wishing I had done a search and found this page last month. I’m working for the Forwarding Group and I report Samuel Emerson who is my supervisor, is listed as the HR Manager. I received an email that got my information from CareerBuilder with the job details and link to apply online. The website appeared genuine and even has other name brand stores and vendors. The email said that the company was expanding rapidly and had a need to outsource the shipping for the company. I had to complete a application and after being accepted, I also had to complete an Employee Agreement much like the one that I have done for other jobs. I was confirmed officially hired after that and I was given a user ID and password for ship-panel.com where I would login to check for incoming packages and download the information and shipping labels. I was supposed to be paid 2000 a month but I could get a extra 500 if I shipped them out with in 24 hrs. I shipped out 8 packages over the month and when I tried to sign in a week ago I all of a sudden, could not sign in and of course, I was supposed to be paid for the first time a couple of days ago. I even sent a few follow up emails checking on my access and first check since I was thinking that it was just a glitch and something was incorrect when I first started but it was fixed. I was laid off in October 2014 and my Unemployment stopped and I have been working part time as a cashier and really needed the money until I got back to work in my field in. I even passed on another part time opportunity because I believed it. I have bills comimg due that I had already made arrangements on and I don’t know what to do. They even have my account information since I was supposed to be direct deposit. OMG this is horrible and I am not a criminal.

     • Yes those were the exact same emails that I received. I have already saved mine and filed the online form for the post office this morning and I am about to file the second form for the government site momentarily. I still have the shipping labels on my phone that I downloaded from ship panel. com and I am hoping to use them to get the packages back to the rightful owners. I had them as a double check as I was shipping the packages so I could make sure that I had the right labels on the right box. But maybe I can get them back to the correct owners.

     • oh my god…i believe i have been caught up in this scam and it seemed so legit.i quit my first job because i thought this was a real lucritive opportunity for my family and i.the company is called forwarding group and i have been working for these guys for a month and im heart broken at this point because i have bills piling up over my head and have no money to pay my rent.oh my god

     • Damn Johnathan,

       I’m sorry you quit your job because of this nonsense. I would recommend you follow the steps I’ve listed above ASAP.
       And you need to get out there and find something offline quickly to pay those piling bills. Maybe that first job will take you back. I’m so sorry you didn’t find this site sooner.

116. Hi Everyone,

     Here are the names of 3 other companies that, while they look legit, are total scammers. Just thought that you and your readers might like to know…I too, fell victim myself, as I, just as many of you are, am unemployed and need to find work, however, we cannot let that situation cloud our judgement here… We must remain vigilant and w/Eddy’s help, we can help put a stop to this crap, or, at least deter another honest person from falling for it…

     -Linxu International Group-They are from China and claim to be legit, however, after your bogus website is set up, they steal credit card info and clean it up through bogus website purchases, you then, through your LLC, are to keep 10% and send them 90…Yeah right!

     -The next one’s listed are all packaging/re-ship scammers:
     -Safe Fulfillment, LLC-Unfortunately, I feel for this one and shipped a few things before I realized that it was a scam.
     -Borderlinx
     -Altair

     Finally, these last 2 are virtual assistant scams:
     -Moon, LLC-Fell for this one too, but got out before it was too late…
     -Sun, LLC

     I advise everyone to stay away from these clowns, regardless of what kind of garbage they might feed you…

     Hope this helps, folks…Take care and God bless!!!

     • You dodged a bullet Leo. Glad you found my site. Be sure to share it with others so they can avoid this garbage too.

119. I, too, fell for it. Out of work for a very long time, and desperate for money, I fell for it. As soon as I realized what might be going on, I stopped reshipping. I had only been doing it a couple weeks when I decided to do some research online and find out what was going on. My gut started to bother me–like, “What is wrong with this picture”. Sure enough, I found this site and I just wanted to kick myself. What was I thinking? Who knew that I would get caught up in something like this. I’m pretty smart normally, and skeptical, but when you need cash, you are blinded to the truth. Anyway, the company is called Arion Forwarding, LLC out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. They have a web site that looks authentic, they have a physical office with phone and fax numbers. They have a page on their website that encourages people to “find a career with Arion–being a Quality Inspector”. I was recruited through an email where they got my resume from CareerBuilders.com. It all sounded so upfront and legit. I got a supervisor named Patty Collins who would tell me what to do when packages showed up at my house. She would send me a new label and I would take it to the post office and ship it, after opening it and taking a photo of it, & sending it to her via email. They even had a Task Panel page that I logged into to see what was on it’s way to me. I reshipped six items, before I realized what was going on, and stopped immediately. This was just a few days ago and I am terrified that I will get arrested now. I don’t know what to do about this, since I did send six things out over the past three weeks. Screw the money. I just don’t want to see the police pull up to my house. I am so afraid. I did keep everything (correspondence with Ms. Collins and a Tyler James who recruited me). I even set up a spreadsheet that I have that had everything about the packages you could get. (columns for tracking #s, dates shipped, dates I received the product, when I got the label, and kept it up to date with where the product was (tracking) along it’s way. Two of the products went to the Ukraine and i was told because consolidating into one box, several things, cut down the cost of shipping directly. How I fell for that is beyond me. Dear God, I’m a criminal and I didn’t even know it. Help. Do I go to the police and tell them about this? I think maybe I should before they show up at my house first. I’m terrified right now. I’m a law abiding citizen and this just can’t be happening!

     • Hey Susan,

       I’m so sorry you were a victim of this scam. Like you said when we get a little desperate things like this happen and the con artist will prey on us.
       All you have to do if follow the steps I laid out in the article above to protect yourself. The police don’t want to arrest victims but you want to be proactive.
       So follow the advice listed in my article.

120. Hello,
     I recently got involved with two drop shipping company scams. Express Product Mover (epromover.com) and Shipping Express Management. I had a gut feeling that they were scams but went with it anyway. After reading this and talking to my father who talked to the USPS. I immediately ended my contract with both of them. According to an USPS employee that my dad talked to “drop-shipping” is actually illegal in the US. I didn’t give anything personal besides my address to Epromover, however I gave my license to Shipping Express Management. How do I go about securing my license so they can’t order credit cards in my name or use my license to drive and commit traffic violations? My second question is what is the best way to go about sending back the items I still have but shouldn’t ship out? I no longer have the boxes the items came in, however I kept all the shipping labels that the items came in. I don’t think I can just tape them on another box and give back right? Is there a way to send them back to the company without having to pay out of pocket expenses? I’m on LOA (Leave of Absence) from my actual job. So I fell for this scam because it seemed like easy money until I can get back to work since disability pay isn’t my full amount.

     • Hey Victoria,

       The scam isn’t really drop shipping. It’s basically just moving stolen products so I’m not sure why the postal person would refer to it as drop shipping which is a legitimate for of business that many companies employee.

       In any event, you can’t get your license information back from the scammers. If it were that easy to actually find them and they cooperated so easily they wouldn’t be in business. As I said in my article above you need to invest in some identity theft protection to stop at the very least them from creating new credit in your name. That’s what they want your license and other information for not to run red lights.

       I don’t have any advice for you about how to send the packages back. Try contacting the companies they were shipped from and see what they tell you.

       In any event, I’m sorry to hear you fell for this scam. As you’ve learned there is no such thing as easy money online just as there isn’t offline. At the very least you found this website and now you’ll be exposed to legit ways to make money. Thanks for sharing your experience, be sure to share this website with others so they don’t fall victim to this as well.

125. Oh my god, I have been working with them for several months and I have no idea about this. I worked for two companies and both ended up with no payment to me and disappearing in any contact methods….

     What should I do now? Will I be arrested when I notify the local police?

     I read a thoroughly attached contract and sent in my signature of acceptance along with a copy of Driver’s License. Fortunately, I have an active security alert on my account, so no worries there.

     After about a week a was assigned a Supervisor Ms. Patty Collins. She communicated with me via email and their established Task Panel Website athttps://member.arionforwardingllc.com/login.php. Through email and the panel, I could see what packages were coming with tracking, the content, and whose name would appear on the package. I then would do my quality inspection by taking a picture, uploading it, and making a brief statement of the condition. Between hours and sometimes days, a shipping label would be avilable under the portal for me to ship via USPS or UPS and take another picture to confirm reciept of shipment and upload. It is then that the task would be complete. Unfortunately, before reading this and other scams about repackaging, I have sent the merchandise as directed by Ms. Collins. This included boxes of new shoes, Apple Ipads, camcorders, shirts, etc. My total shipments have been 16 out of 17 total tasks and oh how I wish I can go back and not have sent the first package. However, I have reported them to the USPS fraud department, IC3, BIzapedia, which shows they have a license number registered ashttp://www.bizapedia.com/business-services.aspx and a base office out of Fort Lauderdale. For more information on that click this linkhttp://www.bizapedia.com/fl/ARION-FORWARDING-LLC.html and other legit companies they have used to appear legit. My further actions include contacting the BBB, my local police office, FedEx, and UPS.

     I don’t know if I will also have to face consequences, but I am glad that I caught this sooner rather than later and will do my best to right my wrongs in this scam.

     Again, thank you!

       You’re very welcome. Thanks for sharing this with others so hopefully they can avoid this nonsense.

     • Hi Eddy,

       I see that you work on line and are selling information on how to do it. Is your program a legit site or scam? I to was offered a job at Forwarding Group.com. They received my resume from career builder as well. I am appalled that individuals can get our information from legit employment sites to use to there advantage. I am very skeptical these days about any company and did a thorough research on this company and found that they have an F rating on BBB and the number they provide is always busy. There website is very impressive and it is done using the new HTML 5 coding. Thank you for providing this information. Now we need to shut these people down.

     • Hey Melissa,

       I’m happy you found my site. Unfortunately shady people will always find ways to use things that are legitimate for bad. It’s just the reality of the world we live in.
       I’m a little taken back by your question. If I was a scam artist I’m not going to tell you that I scam you. lol But that said most people will read articles like this and can tell immediately I’m here to help people avoid the crap out there. So it’s up to you to read my body of work and determine if you can trust me or not. I can’t convince you.
       That said if you want to read what the media thinks of me, feel free to read this.

       I’m sorry to hear about your back injury but I’m so happy you avoided this nonsense. At least now you’re aware of it and know there are other legitimate options as I listed above. Thanks for sharing the scam here so others can avoid it as you did.

     • I just got this email too. Thanks for the heads up. I figured it was a scam. Is there any point in forwarding emails like this to an authority of some kind? If so, who? Or is it pretty much untraceable?

     • Hey MG,

       Forwarding the email doesn’t help. But posting it here will since thousands of people visit this page.

128. Reposting my comment from home page.

     Beware job offers from ADN Logistics Services. They are one of these repacking scams. They almost got me, until they made the odd action of “hiring” me before I even turned in their application! They found me from CareerBuilder.

     Emails came from jessicaharp@adnlogisticag.org and JamieStaples@mail.com

     Eddy, your site confirmed it for me – thank you!!

131. Thank you for your website, it assisted me in avoiding a scam. My sister shared with me a great job opportunity her co-worker shared with her. My sister said she was going to wait to see if her co-worker actually gets paid in two weeks. I didn’t want to wait but I wanted to research the company, packexpert.biz. First I could not access the site due to a warning that it may be malicious site. Then I tried an internet search by name, and I found Pack Expert LTD. It states it is a global packaging company, but when I called the number for a Derrick Brown, no one answered & no voice mail. So I tried a review search of the company. That’s how I came across your website. I learned that this was more than likely an illegal business of identity theft.
     I then did a Better Business Bureau search and found the following information…

     This business is not BBB accredited.
     Pack Expert, LTD
     Additional Locations

     Phone: (216) 647-0092 1660 W 2nd St, Cleveland, OH 44113 View Additional Email Addresses http://packexpert.biz !

     There is an alert on Pack Expert, LTD ! (this is in bold red letters)
     Additional Complaint Information

     This company first came to the attention of the Cleveland BBB in May of 2015. At that time a consumer reported the company had posted an online job offering for employment as a Forwarding Agent. Since then several consumers have reported receiving e-mail solicitations containing details of the offer along with an employment application.

     Active as recently as May 14, 2015, the company website, http://packexpert.biz, was no longer active on May 20, 2015. BBB is aware of two versions of the site. One references Pack Expert Ltd and includes a Cleveland, Ohio address. The other references Pack Expert LLC and includes a Boston, Massachusetts address.

     BBB was unable to locate any filings for Pack Expert Ltd with the Ohio Secretary of State and building management at the Cleveland, Ohio address confirmed the company is not a tenant.

     Similarly BBB found no filings for Pack Expert LLC with the Massachusetts Secretary of State and is in the process of contacting management at the Boston address.

     BBB advises consumers to be cautious of replies to their online job postings. Some warning signs include:

     * The position involves transferring money or goods.

     * The company is located in another country.

     * The position does not list education or experience requirements.

     * All interactions and transactions will be done online.

     * The offer promises significant earning potential for little effort.

     Consumers should also be aware of the potential for being a victim of Identity Theft. For that reason BBB advises consumers to monitor their credit reports for new, unauthorized accounts that might be established in their name. A free report may be obtained from each of the three major reporting agencies online at http://www.annualcreditreport.com.

     This review will be updated when more information is available.

137. I was contacted by a “Hr manager” from Mckinsey & Company. I will copy and paste the email from them. It sounded to good to be true so I knew it was a scam from the beginning. I also reached out to Mckinsey and let them know the details I had for this, and offered to help them if I can. The sender has contacted me again to try to get me to sign up. I have just been ignoring them.

138. Just came here cause I like knowing the emails I get like these are scams. I’m too smart to fall for something like this, but that’s because I’ve seen the news stories and such. I’m not saying that people who fall for this are stupid, everyone makes mistakes, but you made some great points for people that might be sucked into a scam like this and now feel helpless and I thank you on behalf of them for giving them some solid, accurate advice on what to do now, and giving a source for people who are smart enough to do a little bit of investigation before falling for a scam like this.

     • Indeed. Ultimately we all make mistakes. I think the problem is too many people view the internet as something very easy and that there is always easy money to be made. But the fact is anything that is going to make you decent money online or offline requires some significant work and skills.

       If not then everyone can come online and make easy money. But I think we become so blinded by our own needs we suspend our common sense and instincts. But I’ll be here to remind people. Sometimes I get them early enough but unfortunately a lot of times I get them after the fact. Either way, it’s a lesson learned. At least it leads people here and they know there are people online that are providing useful and legitimate options. Thanks for chiming in.

139. I would like to be a Shipping Agent and work from home can anybody send me a link? broganmaster@gmail.com
     I need a job soon.

     • Pat,

       I’m sure many of the shipping scammers will gladly contact you since you’re choosing to ignore the whole article and hundreds of other comments where people have clearly started they were scammed by this nonsense. But good luck to you buddy.

140. There is one other point that should be expressed about identifying scammers; all of the emails I have seen on this and other work-at-home employment schemes use questionable grammar and odd word phrasing. Even though the grammar is better than the Nigerian scam, there are enough quirks and consistent errors that are noticeable (missing commas, run-on sentences and non sequiturs are big giveaways). True, I am a bit more aware of these errors than most since I am a professional technical writer. Basically, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

     Thanks for including this discussion on your website.

     • That is true to a certain degree. But that should definitely be coupled with some other things like research, common sense, etc. My articles are littered with spelling and grammatical errors and I’m not scammer. lol But I hear your point. Thanks for sharing!

141. Hi,

     I am not a victim but rather one of the companies they use as a front. I’m getting 10-20 emails a day inquiring on a logistics position. Each person contacted has sent emails through my website seeking the non-existing HR person to contact. I have posted info on our facebook page and it’s getting a lot of traffic also. I have also linked this blog on it. Thanks for looking out for them!!

     • Hey JW,

       I’m so sorry your company name is being dragged into this scam. That’s a common ploy of these scam artists so it confuses people into believing the scam is legitimate. But some people are smart enough to head to the company directly to see if the position is real. But then of course that puts an unnecessary strain on your staff to let people know that you aren’t hiring for this scam position. You may want to put a message on your contact us page letting people know you aren’t hiring for any reshipping positions and link to this article as you did on your FB page so you cover all bases.

       Thanks for spreading the word. Companies like yours are also victims in this nonsense as well. It’s unfortunate.

142. Everyone, some of the work from home packaging jobs are legit. I have two and have no problems with them. Can’t ya’ll see that all the reviews are bad on purpose he is just trying to get ya’ll to switch over to his company. Do yo not see all the promotion if they are all fake then that means someone came up with the scam and everyone all over the world just followed that person. Also, these people have legit websites the F.B.I isn’t stupid they can back track I.P addresses and find the person who created that website. See things through before you accuse it to be false ya’ll missing out on thousands of dollars because people think things are too good to be true. He is just promoting his work from home business use multiple sources before you reject something to be false just saying.

     • Sigh. Even if you don’t believe me and the hundreds of comments from people who have been scammed or avoided scams because of this article, just contact the postal inspectors with the information of any alleged legitimate work from home shipping job and see what they say.

       I’m in the business of helping people avoid scams and referring people to things that are legit. And yes I proudly get paid for doing so. I don’t hide it and I’m not ashamed of it. So it’s not like you’re revealing a dark secret I’m trying to hide.

       But folks can feel free to follow your advice and see where it leads them. I suspect that you’re probably one of the scammers and you’re upset people are getting wise to your scam because of this article. But feel free to try discredit me. My years of experience speak for itself.

143. I would like to work at home doing shipping or logistics,
     I got an Email forwarded from a friend of one of these companies afaritiger55@gmail.com was the trailing sender and they said i could make $2500 the first month and become a Operations Manager after that; so i sent them my information and got 1 phone call then nothing….were they just fishing for my personal information or was it a legit job? Not sure?

     Reply

     • You shouldn’t want to work at home doing any of this if you’ve read the article and the many comments above. This is something that should be avoided at all cost unless you want to be scammed.

144. I’m so glad I found this website. I’ve been needing another part-time job to go along with my current part-time job to help make ends meet. I posted a job wanted ad on Craigslist and got a few responses from “employers” who want me to be a package shipper. I just had to do a Google search to feel at ease, because I cannot afford to lose money to a scam. I’m so glad I did. I have not officially started these jobs, but just told the employers that I’m interested. I’m not interested no more now that I know that these jobs may be scams. I’m going to send them a message later and tell them I changed my mind.
     Thank you so much for this article Eddy, you saved me big time!

If possible share the ads and so called employers that contacted you here so people know what to look for. And please share this site and article you know so they don’t fall for this nonsense either.

       Thanks again Mandy!

145. Wow, this is a huge scam judging from the comments! I just got scammed as well. Contacted by email to do shipping. I received the first package and when told it was not in my name immediately started to question how legitimate this might be. The company name seemed valid, the way the person who wrote me seemed intelligent. I emailed the lady back questioning their company and she sent me a long drawn out response. I’ve copied and pasted:

     **Brandy,

     There is a reason to ship it to NY.

     Our employees in NY are acting as a shipping consolidators. The packages may go in different cities in Russia. For example, a package contains a laptop and the final destination is Saint-Petersburg. The customs in Saint-Petersburg won’t let pass the laptop package with the battery included. All batteries have to be shipped separately. However, everything is ok with customs in Moscow.

     Of course you could do re-packaging but this would require expenses on packaging and we do everything possible to make sure the Corr Managers won’t have to pay anything out of pocket.

     The reason why we didn’t ship it directly to NY is simple. These laptops are on high demand in Russia and when we order them from the suppliers we don’t know the final destination until the very last moment. When a laptop(or a digital camera) package is on it’s way to you we may forward it to Moscow or to Saint-Petersburg or wherever in Russia depending on customer’s location. If the package destination was Moscow you would ship it directly to Moscow but since in was Saint-Petersburg the package required re-packaging. We have 4 employees in NY who do re-packaging perfectly and then forward packages to Russia – you’re sending the packages to one of them. They have a lot of job to do so they don’t act like Corr Managers(receiving/shipping packages from suppliers without re-packaging).

     Consolidating the packages is required when shipping clothes/shoes/accessories/other small packages – that’s the case with the package 1Z602E891346613368 you received yesterday. The Customs fee in Moscow, Russia is fixed for this type of merchandise and depends on the number of packages – that’s why it’s better to consolidate 10 packages rather than shipping them as 10 separate packages. On the other hand, the Customs in Saint-Petersburg in most cases releases clothes/shoes without any fees(but the procedure takes 3-4 weeks) so if the final destination is Saint-Petersburg usually we ship this type of merchandise directly to Russia.

     That’s how it works.

     Linda**

     I was going to take the package and all of the emails to the post office and make a complaint. This company goes by the name of SCM Logistics.

     • Hey Brandy,

       Thanks for being brave enough to share your experience but more importantly for laying out the conversation with the scam artist. People will be able to learn so much because of it! So thank you. That said I’m sorry you fell victim to it. But at least it led you to this site.

146. I, embarrassingly, admit that I completely fell for one of these schemes twice. The first time was with Independent Delivery Professionals, Inc….they didn’t even “hire” me, so no packages from them.

     The second time was with BestPackage, LLC. Their website is http://www.bestpackage.net. BestPackage LLC offered $40 per package shipped and would pay you once a month, and that employees would receive from 30 to 60 packages per month. Once receiving a package, the employee has to check it, document it, inform the manager that they have received it, await the prepaid shipping labels (to which they were legitimately, or seemed to be, prepaid), then bring them to their local USPS to reship them. I was so desperate for work, so I, unfortunately, did not even conceive it to be a scam. At the time, I viewed it as a temp/odd, albeit legal, job till I could get a real job. I did the work for about month, unfortunately, reshipping a total of 21 packages. Then, a week before payday came around, the packages stopped, though contact didn’t. BestPackages stopped contacting me 2 days before payday, though my login credentials for the site still worked. When payday came around, I didn’t see a check, so I waited a week, and still no check. After a week, I decided to inquire them about my paycheck only to find a day later that my site login credentials didn’t work (which was their response)….

     The following day, I had found out that someone had their identity stolen and had $1000 of merchandise purchased from a Paypal account opened in their name over a month ago and was shipped to my address (to which turned out to be the first package I received). Because I kept detailed records, I was able to point this person in the right directions; where I sent the package (name and address), and about BestPackage.net. They were most grateful, they didn’t press charges against me. This incident led me to believe that all the packages I sent all contained stolen merchandise, riddling me with guilt.

     I found your site and this article the very same day a half a day later. Since I kept all the records (package dates, their IDs, contents (pictures), reshipping shipping labels, etc.), job info (FAQ, Description, Offer, Payment form, etc.), probably most, if not all, of the shipping receipts, and a few a the invoices, I placed all of which in a single box to which I labelled “BestPackage EVIDENCE B O X.” I backed up the email offer and conversation onto a CD (along with the records and job info) and placed in there as well. So, in case the Police or FBI come knocking, all the evidence for my case are all in one place.

     However, I am not sure what to do next. Fill this (http://ehome.uspis.gov/fcsexternal/default.aspx) out and/or this (http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx) out? I do agree that staying quite is the worst thing I could do.

148. Hello Eddy I just got some one like this off Craigslist 1/20/2015.. I haven’t did any shipping with them and truly I was on to them any way.. I check the phone number that was listed which started with a 785# told me that starting next monday I would start receiving packages with ipads, phones, etc and I could open and look at them, then they would send a Fedex Label then I take it to Fedex and drop off.. I would be paid $500.00 a week i asked how they said you choose I said Paypal.. See one thing I watch is how they write the english is not good, they all mostly require the same information, they asked for any valid I.D. I told them I don’t give my Drivers licence to any body that I am not sure about.. I gave them my address, and name all was said in an email.. My plans was when the package came I was going to call the police cause I know it is a scam..
     I have been a victim of a scam when I was laid of my job in 2014 at this time I knew nothing about these scam and was job hunting same as I am today I was going to a place to look employment got this text went home set up yahoo messenger and to make a long story short end up losing over a 1,000. Nothing could be done it was an online set up.. Now today I am very cautious I do scam adviser, BBB, reviews, etc on lots of companies.. The one I am talking about now didn’t even have a name just asking you want to do work at home and open the little box on craigslist and there was the phone number.

149. Hi Eddy

     I am really so disappointed to be used by this company
     well my case has taken a different dimension. I received an email from one company Rush Shipping Services through career builder.ca offering me a job of Logistics Cordinator, since it was coming from a career website we felt it was real. I signed a contract on Dec 14 2014 with all the id verification done, and was offered to be paid 2650 CAD+ shipping bonuses with two week probational period. I had looked up the company on the internet everything seemed ok as i read on their website that they help customer buy products around the world and re-ship it. I received three packages in the same name in Dec and posted to the US to two different address in the US. well two weeks ago I received an email from them that I have passed the probation that they needed my account info for advance payment, which I did send to them. I became suspicious last week when I received an email requesting for my online account login details and security questions for verification purpose. I refused giving them. I rang the bank to inform them about it and a security alert has been placed on my account, I reported the case to the police, they advised me to receive my payment for the work I did and forget about the company.
     well on 19th January I received an email of a bank transfer of 2315 CAD from them as an advance payment but my concern is the money came from a different person name, the transaction was blocked from the bank asking the sender to contact the bank. I told them about it and this Morning a payment of 2200 CAD was transferred again with yet another person name, this time around this has been credited to my account. I received an email from them to deduct 215 CAD as my advance payment(I have worked for over a month) and send 1885 CAD to someone in France. now I do not want to send this money but I am confused as to what to do.

     this is the name of my so called supervisors email in Canada

150. I recently fell victim to this scam with a company called, “US Pack and Ship LLC”. Shame on me for not performing a simple search of “shipping agent scam” before I signed on with them. I hopefully caught it soon enough as no packages have arrived yet.
     Today I took ALL advice Eddy provided even though I did not provide the company with my social, credit card nor license numbers. They have my name and address, and that could have very well be all they needed.
     Avoid US Pack and Ship LLC (uspacknshipllc.com)!

     • Hey Ray,

       I’m so happy you avoided this garbage. Fortunately NOT everyone is trying to scam people out here. There are plenty of folks like me trying to help people make some extra money legitimately. Unfortunately desperation, and the lure of fast large sums of money pull people in. Folks don’t seem to realize there isn’t just a magically fast way to make money at home. It all takes work and patience like it would offline. But there are many legitimate ways of making extra little money if folks are open to it. That’s the only good thing about when people run into this scam. They’re brought here and they learn there are other ways to make money and be safe.

       In any event, thanks for sharing Ray!

154. I fell for a scam too, it was a company called Global Parcel Delivery LLC, I had shipped 5 packages thinking it was a legit business, then I found a few packages hadn’t arrived, I had called about them and found out they were fraudulent charges, was notified to call local law enforcement, turns out the local law enforcement were waiting to hear from me, I told them what had happened, and they said If I cooperated it could help out the case, I kept all shipping receipts, printed out my queue of undelivered packages, with tracking numbers, and made an official statement, the officer which knew me, stated that since he had known me and knew I had a clean background, I would probably not face jail time, then he said this case had turned to an international case when he found out that the packages were going to moscow. When I found out about the scam, I got sick, I thought I had done my research, but turned out it wasnt good enough. I just hope they find the scammers and bring justice to this incident.

       I’m sorry you’re a victim of this scam as well. I’m surprised when you did your research this page didn’t come up. It usually does when folks Google these companies. Either way it’s an unfortunate situation. It sounds like you’ve taken the proper steps now. At the very least you found this website and will now learn how to avoid such scams and know what’s legit. Thanks for sharing and keep us posted. I don’t imagine you should face any legal issues if you have all your ducks in a row.

155. Hi Eddy,

     I fell for this scam as well. I believed the company was called Global Logistics. Signed a contract and gave all my personal information. I got a package the other day and I told the DHL man that I’m not taking it. It had my address but somebody else’s name on the box. The DHL guy I believe shipped it to the person that’s name was on the box. I got a visit from a kid that said he received 1200 dollars worth of stuff. I don’t know where the stuff was from, maybe gamestop. All he told me is that it had video electronics in it. I told the kid that I was scammed. He thought I was lying. I did across desperate but it was only because I knew I had been scammed and I came across your website so I knew what to do and I knew the situation. He told me that I’m the mastermind behind all of it. Why I was investing time into it. He told me to leave him alone and that he contacted the company, gamestop I believe. He contacted the return people for gamestop and that the gamestop security are looking into it. I could’ve done without the vulgar language he said lol. He was very upset with me. So what I did is I followed the steps you have above. Fortunately that was the only package I’ve received. So I didn’t send any packages out

     I wrote a few complaints on the ic3.gov website and the Postal Inspectors. Closed my checking account and put my credit on alert. I also kept the emails Global Logistics sent me. I kept The application and the email that I wrote to them telling them I know they’re a scam and not to contact me anymore. My uncle is a police officer and I asked for his advise. He told me unfortunately this happens all the time to people. I’m just upset with myself that I fell for it. Like you said above when your desperate you throw skepticism aside. So what he told me to do is file a complaint with my local police department. Which I did.

     I’m just concerned that gamestop or worse the authorities are going to ask the kid where he got the box and they’re going to trace it back to my address and since my address is on it I get the blame because they’re going to think I’m apart of it.
     Thanks for this website
     Take care

     • Hey Jason,

       Sorry to hear you were a victim of this scam as well. But I think you took all the proper steps. I don’t imagine you should get into any issues given what you’ve done. It’s unfortunate that the other victims don’t believe a fellow victim. But I guess everyone is heightened after something like this. Either way keep us posted.

156. Hi I had the same scam from the comments below. It was also with Exec Direct Aviation Services LTD. Some guy that I know doesn’t exist named Robert Hudson. Unfortunately I sent all my personal info to these scam artists. My family told me it was to good to be true. I was so desperate I sent all my info. Well I found this website and my family was right. It was to good to be true. I shut down all my banking and put an alert out on my credit. My checking account info and credit info is also worrying me. Yesterday I received a package that had my address but somebody else’s name. I told the UPS driver that the person on this box doesn’t live here. So I gave it back to him and very similar to the person below it was sent to the person that was named on the box. I had this women come to my house stating she had 1500 dollars worth of electronics from Gamestop as well. I told her it was a scam. Well she didn’t believe that I wasn’t in on the scam. She told me that she had reported it to Gamestop and they are looking into it. I’m very scared as well because it has my address on it. Im worried that Gamestop or the woman will tell the police about the situation. That Im at fault. Should I file a report to the police as soon as possible like the person below? Should I contact Gamestop and tell them the situation? I did also file a complaint to the ic3.gov. website. I will contact the consumer agency as well. I do have all the emails they sent me with the job application and offer. As well as the W4 form they sent me. They had me logged on onto this website/workingpanel. Well once I figured out it was a scam I emailed the scam artists and they shut me out of the website. So they knew I was on to them. I basically told them they are scam artists and not to send me any packages. Unfortunately they did on the 23rd. Im just praying that the lady who has the package doesn’t say that I’m the scam artist because Im not. Any advice would be great. Thank you for taking the time.

     • Hey Cody,

       I’m sorry to hear you fell for this as well. You have the emails which will help. I would also contact all parties involved. You can even refer them to this page so they can see it’s a scam that has affected tons of other people. But definitely contact whoever else you think should know. It’s better to be proactive than reactive. You’re just a pawn in this situation. Between the emails you received, this site and you can refer people to the other sites listed here, anyone will be able to see you’re not part of this.

       Keep us posted.

     • Hey Eddy,

       I did everything that you stated above. Probably put in a couple complaints to the FBI website lol. Better be safe than sorry right. I also called and wrote a complaint to the United States Postal Service that you have listed above. For good measures I filed a complaint with my local police department. Told them the whole situation and got a reference number. So at least I know I talked to them. I tried to contact the person that has the package but unfortunately they didn’t want to talk to me. They think I’m behind everything. So they definitely didn’t listen to me. I did let the police know about that as well. All they told me was that they contacted GameStop. That Gamestop is investigating it. I’m hoping they send it back to the merchant. It’s a nightmare situation. Just wished I didn’t put myself in that situation. Thank you and take care.

     • Great Job Cody! You’ve really covered your ass! I think you should be fine. But keep me posted either way. I’m sorry this happened to you too. But the good news is that it led you here and at least now you’ll know what’s legit or not.

     • Hi Cody,

       I had a very similar situation happen to me. How did it turn for you?

     • Hi,
       I want to know what happened because I only submitted my application. Please get back to me.

157. Hi I recently got scammed myself. The Driver delivered a package to me and i said the name isn’t anybody who lives in the house. So I denied it. Thanks to this website I didnt send any packages out. Well I think the driver sent it out to the person whos name is on the package. Now the person who has the package told me he contacted gamestop and they’re looking into it. I scared to death. He said it 900 dollars worth of stolen goods. That I’m the scammer. Should I make a police report? Its my address so I’m terrified it will come back to me.

     • Hey Stephen,

       Sorry to hear you’re a victim too. I’m glad this page helped you avoid any more issues. I would definitely be proactive by following the steps listed above. You could contact your local police if it makes you feel better as well. Hopefully you have the chain of emails sent by the scammer which will help you as well. Keep us posted.

       I haven’t. But as always if the job involves anything we’ve and other people have described above then you can pretty much bet this is a scam to avoid. But thanks for sharing. I’m glad you’ve taken the steps we’ve suggested.

     • thanks for your help i turned them over to the FBI and sent all the info i had .I cant find anything on the internet bad about them but i know it is a scam. I did contact the companys that the product came from and they are sending the ups and fedx out to pickup the packages they were glad that called them. Get this then that person from the scam company emailed me and sent ups labels to send the items to amazon from my address . I just about lost it. I was not nice to that person . I hate scammers i have better things to do with my life than play there games.

     • Hey Jean,

       I’m glad this information helped. You did the right thing! I totally feel you about these scammers! Thanks for sharing.

159. Hi I recently fell for one of these scams as well. It was by a company called Exec Direct Aviation Services LTD. It was sent by a man named Robert Hudson. I had signed the contract and sent all my personal info to this fraud company. Fortunately I found this website the day I sent it. I immediately froze my accounts and put a notice on my credit. I didn’t send any packages out thank goodness. I also emailed the person back stating that I’ve reported the company to the FBI. Well the other day a package came from UPS it was a PS4 and I didn’t sign for it. I gave it back to the UPS driver. I hope I did the correct thing. I’m just worried that these packages will keep coming. Thank you for this website.

     • Hey Eric,

       You’re very welcome buddy. I’m glad you found our website too. You did all the right things. Just continue to send the packages back.
       Thanks for being brave and sharing this scam with others.

160. I got an email from a guy named Robert Hudson. It sounded very similar to the comments below. I should’ve been smarter but I fell for it. Fortunately after I sent all my personal info to this fraud I found this website. I closed my accounts and put my credit on alert. I emailed the crook and told him not to send me any packages that I will report him. They deleted me from their profile. They knew I was on to them. I had UPS driver deliver a PS4 and I didn’t sign for it. I Immediately made the UPS driver take it back. What should I do if they keep delivering packages? I have not sent any packages out thanks to this website. Thank you.

     • Hey Adrian,
       I’m sorry to hear you fell for this. Don’t feel too bad it happens to the best of us. You found this site and now you know what to do. Just continue to follow the advice I listed. Eventually they’ll stop. It’s so much easier for them to find other victims especially since not everyone has read this article which is why it’s important to share it anywhere you can.

       Thanks for being brave and sharing your experience. It will help others avoid this!

161. Hey there. I think I just got scammed myself. Have you heard of a Florida company called Tranship Shipping? It looked very legit but also very much like the scams mentioned here. I have sent packages for them already and am stopping immediately. Is this company known to you? Thanks man.

     • Hey Josh,

       I don’t know of the company but you’ve pretty much hit it on the head. If it sounds like the multiple companies and reports listed above then it’s pretty much a scam and you just need to follow the steps I listed above. I’m sorry you ran into this nonsense. But fortunately it led you here. So at the very least you’ll learn about legitimate ways to make money.

162. Greetings, dear applicant!

     First of all I would like to thank you for your interest in our company.
     My name is Mr. Mark Thomson, I am a Hiring Department specialist at Horizon Society Inc. Our website

     is http://www.societyhorizon.com
     The primary line of our company’s activity is correspondence and distribution for customers all over

     the world wanting to trade on the Internet.

     Why our business exists:
     We offer our services to residents of different countries who want to buy and sell at Internet

     stores servicing the United States, European Union and Canada, but find it difficult because of

     shipping restrictions and complicated transactions.
     As a result, thousands of people cannot easily access the huge market with high quality products at

     low prices, that America and the European countries have created.
     Our company’s service makes buying and selling easy and possible with street addresses that can be

     legally used for shipping purposes.
     Much like you have a friend or relative in United States or European Union, our Product Forwarding

     Contractors residing in these countries inspect and repackage the contents, fix the boxes and

     forward the packages of merchandise bought or sold on the Internet to customers in final destination

     countries. Also we provide guarantees and insurance service.
     That is why we contract with people like you for parcel and mail forwarding. Also, we will need

     smart, responsible people who can be trained for management positions.

     Products usually shipped through our service:
     – Luxury items such as watches and jewelry
     – Sport equipment
     – Small electronics such as laptops, cameras, cell phones, tablets, GPS, PC components, etc.
     – Clothing, shoes, handbags etc.
     – Small auto parts

     IMPORTANT: We never offer to ship illegal or restricted for export or import materials and

     technologies.
     All parcels are compact enough to be processed within the room of a regular-sized house.

     Each address you will ship packages to – is our sorting facility. The packages are being shipped to

     our customers, but you don’t see their names and addresses on shipping labels. The package is being

     inspected and re-shipped further after it arrives at our facility.
     We have several types of customers.
     1. – Some of them are residents of different countries – they buy products online for themselves and

     use our service to.
     2. – some of them are residents of United States, but they live outside of the US and use our

     service to receive their personal correspondence, financial correspondence like bills or invoices

     and buy products online.
     3. – Some of our customers are sellers, who trade through our system. Usually they live in US,

     Canada and European Union and sell goods to their clients in different countries.

     9. – And finally you will be forwarding parcels according to instructions sent by your manager. (You

     will receive prepaid shipping labels so you are not responsible for any cost of shipping.)
     10. – After that you will only need to send small “shipping report” to your manager, which means,

     that you finished the task successfully.

163. hello eddy, thank you for creating this website. I am a fresh victim and the scammers are Global Parcel Delivery LLC.

I have shipped about 7 packages and stopped immediately i came across this website and contacted the fbi who basically directed me to ic3.gov. I have learnt my lesson – when a deal is too good think twice, i am a wise person now and i hope this individuals get caught. I do not know what happened to people here who were deep into it but i will sure post my experience. I am also looking at legitimate ways to make money online from your website.

     • Thanks for sharing. I’m surprised you didn’t run into this page as you did your research most people do. The BBB isn’t a government agency so it’s not like they can shut these scammers down and they do actually warn about reshipping scams. They just don’t list all of the new ones as we do because of comments like yours. But it doesn’t hurt to share. Apparently it’s very difficult to catch these scammers especially since many of them are out of the country. But sharing the scam as you did and sharing this page will help people avoid it. Thanks again!

     • The reason i did not get to this website in time is because i was using the company name in my google search query and trying to find job reviews for the company but nothing came up other than their website because it was something that they recently put together. Also, when you type the business name it appears on the top list of the google search engine results and google have algorithms in place that do not promote scam websites and i know this because i have worked as a search engine evaluator (legitimate online job) so i am not even sure whether they are falsely claiming to be part of a legitimate company or if the whole company and everything associated with it is part of the scam. But this made me confident that i was dealing with a legit company. So at that moment i was not researching the company because i was suspicious about them i was researching the company to know what other employees said about it and basically get job reviews. They even stated that they are a new company and are expanding operations in the U.S. I checked the BBB website and they were listed with no complaints so everything was flowing in their favor, it is just recently that i have realized the BBB website do not allow complaints about employees or scams. I believe that if these people were cunning enough to convince me that they were legitimate they must also be monitoring your website and coming up with ideas on how to go around getting caught or how to trick people. I just wanted to point that out because it is highly likely they do though i am not sure what significance this has, i encourage other people to report this type of scams here and post their experiences so others do not get tricked. The red flags begun when the UPS guy looked at me funny when i tried claiming packages that were addressed to me but not under my name and i was confidently telling him that i worked for this organization and i am responsible for their client’s packages. He then told me it was against company policy for them to deliver packages that way so i thought to myself, why would this company i work for ask me to do something that is against UPS policy? so i called UPS customer care service immediately and explained to them everything about the company my role and my experience with the delivery guy, they told me that i would need to get an authorization document from the company i work for – Global Parcel Delivery LLC and use it to claim the packages (even if they were not under my name). This also made me to believe that there wasn’t anything wrong with what i was doing in fact to confirm this information i decided to call their office at different periods and times so i could speak to different customer service agents and the surprising thing is that they all told me that i am allowed to receive the packages. Luckily for me i have administration experience and one thing i learnt is that i should never rely on he said she said evidence so i even told them to send me a written document or anything solid that can help me claim these packages since they said it is allowed, one of the people i spoke with was even a security specialist for UPS and he sent me an email with instructions of what i should do to pick up the packages even after telling him who i was working for and what are my roles and the packages aren’t under my name. I do not blame these customer service agents because it is not their fault, i am just surprised that a big company like UPS do not disseminate information about these scams to their employees since their services are being used and these scams date back to 2009. Or do they just look the other way because they would not have any implications but still benefit from the whole business process? i do not know but long story short i decided i was going to research not the company but the nature of my job which is ‘work from home reshipping packages’ because the UPS guy still maintained that it is against company policy for me to receive packages that are not under my name even though they are addressed to me and that is how i got here. If these guys fooled me – someone who has advanced use and knowledge about the internet, they can fool anybody especially if you are desperately looking for a job.

     • Agreed. I don’t when people fall for these scams it’s a matter of people not being savvy or “stupid”. Although some insensitive people argue this. Most of the time people’s desperation clouds their judgement. That seems to be the biggest reasons people fall for this. The second is just a lack of knowledge about how all these various work at home scams work. People just assume things that charge money are scams which is also false. But they don’t realize there are other scams that work without asking you for money. So I think it’s a combination of those two factors. The only good thing that comes of situations like this is people learn to be more wary and they discover this site where they can learn about legitimate ways to make money and how to avoid other scams.

       In any event, thanks for chiming in again.

     • remember when i said by typing the company name i was unable to get here? since i posted a comment with the company name and its scamming activities on your website which now appears as the third result as of 12/18/2014 (the first result is the scam company Global Parcel Delivery LLC and the second result is it’s careers page – note the vacant position on their careers page) also my comment is below the link to your website in the search results. What is funny is that there is virtually nothing that indicates that this company is a scam other than your website (i hope my logic is understood now). I have posted another comment below intentionally because i know a little about SEO so hopefully your website should be at the top for the query: Global Parcel Delivery and nobody else will ever get scammed by this company. You are also right about the lack of knowledge, i had no idea i could be scammed without spending my own money. When i’m done sorting this issue i plan on joining wealthy affiliate, they seem to be doing a good job.

       Global Parcel Delivery LLC – WARNING THIS IS A SHIPPING SCAM!!!!

     • Well played!!! And that’s exactly why I always encourage people to post the details because I know this articles ranks very highly for the various company names and the reshipping scams. Clearly you understand SEO so thanks for using it to fight against these scammers. Global Parcel has actually been mentioned here a lot. So it should definitely pop up. In any event, I really appreciate your insight and sharing the info. I’m happy you’re considering WA. It’s a great community and I learned so much of what I do here from them. I feel very blessed to be able to write content like this that helps people avoid scams and also be able to share legitimate ways to make money. Being paid to help people online to make money and avoid scams is great. I’m sure if you join WA you’ll find your path as well. I hope to see you there.

164. I would be happy to research any links for package shipping
     to detect if it is a scam. Just post the link here and i will research it and return my results on this page. No Charge!

     • Donald,

       Thanks but there isn’t much to research. Once the job involves re-shipping you know it’s a scam which I’ve pretty much expressed numerous time in my article and comments. So it’s not really hard to figure out. It’s just some people don’t want to give into the idea that they fell for this scam. But it’s pretty easy to determine whether this stuff is a scam. I think people get fixated on things that can be easily faked like a pretty website, documentation, etc. But if you ignore all of that and just focus on the task at hand, it’s very easy to spot.

     • There are many forwarding companies who hire independent agent that are doing a reputable honest business; and the pay is commission paid weekly.
       I can supply a list of some of them but I would be glad to help your readers weed out the crooks if they send me the links of questionable contacts.

     • Donald,
       There hasn’t been one reputable re-shipping company that hires at home agent and all the protection agencies I listed above will agree with me. So I don’t know your angle here but please don’t pump that mis-information and having people believe that some of these companies are legit. Because if they were, the government agencies that warn against them would provide the legitimate ones you’re claiming.

165. I fell for two companies, simultaneously. When the first company (Global Parcels Delivery, LLC) paid me for my initial probation period of $100, I thought these jobs were legit and took another offer from Executive Shipper, Inc.in an effort to increase my income. I had been unemployed for almost 5 months when I landed upon Global Parcels, so I was extremely gullible and desperate. When it came time for payday with Global Parcels, they disappeared on me; the phone calls and emails came to a complete stop. I got my first package November 17, 2014 and have done about a month of work for them. I feel extremely dumb for ignoring all “red flags” when they surfaced. Luckily, I haven’t done much for Executive Shippers, only sent out 2 packages for them. I will be returning the merchandise I currently hold for both companies.

     1st Company Global Parcels Delivery, LLC:

     Names: Karen Jones, Linda Taylor

     2nd Company Executive Shippers

     Names: Troy Birch, Jeffrey Hinton, James Bauer

     Let me give example of a red flag:

     This company is Executive Shippers and my supervisors name is Jeffrey Hinton (mention at the top of email), but if you look on their signature, Mr. Hinton made the mistake of signing as James Bauer with another bogus company name. Desperate for a paycheck, it was easy to overlook this.
     I will follow the steps laid out by Eddy and hope feds don’t coming knocking on my door. I have saved ALL information since day one.
     Good luck everyone, these things should never happen to us.

     • Thanks for sharing Ed. I’m sorry to hear you fell for this scam. But I do appreciate you being brave enough to share the experience so others can learn. I’m sure if you follow the steps listed above, you’ll be fine.

166. I’ve been searching for a job for a while now, not even a work at home job, just a job in general. When ‘Material Handler’ popped up on Indeed, I was thrilled to apply. I got this e-mail an hour ago.

     Dear Applicant,

     I believe it’s another one of these scams–I won’t be replying. I just wanted to put this e-mail out there so that if anyone searches fast2box.com to see if it is legit, they will come here and see that it is not.

     • Thanks for sharing Holly! This will help others avoid this nonsense.

167. I wish I found this site before it happened to me. I would not like to go back with all of what happened, but all same old story. I am feeling so stupid myself as I fell for it.

     Below the company that was presented to me:

     Solaris Motor Freight Inc.
     1810 W Detroit St
     Broken Arrow, OK 74012
     U.S.A.

     Tel: 1 (866) 603-8014

     email address that was used: krystalbeck@solaris-trans.net

     Just be alert for yourself, these all seem to be Russian scammers.

     • Thanks for sharing Mahbubur! Don’t feel stupid, it happens to the best of us. At least it’s lead you to this site where now you’ll be able to find real legitimate ways of making money online.

168. I received an email just like the rest of the people in here. It was from US Logistics LLC. Similar letter of offer. I responded a couple of times to see where this will lead me to and then stopped – when they asked me for banking information along with copy of my drivers license. I thought “They will know everything about me but I won’t know anything about them.” Their website I logged on to was just created a couple of days ago and wasn’t fully functional. Their address was to some supply company. Their phone numbers was to a voicemail saying to contact your supervisor. VERY bad feeling. So I started to search the company and found your site. I am glad to find you and feel sorry for the people who found you too late. I hope people out there can be careful and not fall in to scams. Like they say “if it’s too good to be true….”

     • I’m so happy you didn’t fall for this and that my website confirmed your suspicions. It is unfortunate that more people don’t know about this site because it would help them avoid this nonsense and find legitimate ways to make money. In either case, thanks for sharing your experience. Please be sure you share this website as well as it may help others as it helped you.

     • I have no idea why that’s happening. But I got this comment so feel free to comment this way.

     • That’s weird Antony. I was able to get this reply so use this to reply to others. But if your question is if some company ended up being a scam the answer is probably yes if you’ve read my article above and the company follows the same pattern.

     • Antony,

       The problem has been resolved now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

     • Are you familiar with these company names? Ship U?

     • No I’m not. But if it involves anything I’ve described above then you should avoid it. Plain and simple.

     can you verify if this is a scam please?

     I am very sure it is and I am a victim. I signed an agreement with them and sent a copy of my ID to them also. to me it was a very suspicious opportunity but i fell into their game.

     I signed the agreement yesterday and I have never received a package from them so I will not receive it tomorrow or I will return it to USPS office.

     I even received a phone interview from a lady and every seemed so legit but what worries me is that they have the copy of my ID.

     PLEASE WHAT SHOULD I DO?

     Reply

     • I would definitely watch for any accounts that may pop up in your name. Invest in some identity security like I suggested above. If they have your id and address, it can be used in a lot of bad ways. And do as suggested in the article above for the packages and reporting these folks.

173. I got scammed too!! =( I got an email from a company called US Global Het Delivery LLC and I thought it was a great oppurtunity. I only got one package so I contacted the “Supervisor” to see if I was supposed to be getting any packages anytime soon. He gave me “bonus tasks” instead. I was recieving money and they transfering it out to Ukraine! And it was like $4700 at a time! So after the second transfer I was not feeling comfortable with it anymore and let him know that I did not want to do this anymore. But they had already froze my bank acct and they let me know that it was fraud. This was only yesterday that I had to close that acct and start a whole another acct. I have been spending all day fixing my direct deposit and all other accounts linked to my bank acct. I even made a police report yesterday after getting out of the bank just to make sure that if anything were to happen that I had a way to clear my name. I have printed out all my emails and still even have some voicemails that he has left on my phone. I wish I had found this website before going through all of this. It would have saved me whole lot of trouble!

     • Hey Tanzeena,

       Sorry to hear you fell for this scam as well. But fortunately it led you here and now you’ll have access to legitimate ways to work at home. Thanks for sharing your experience.

174. Hi Eddy,

     I am so glad I found this site, when I first applied with the company. The company checked out correctly (Including the website). I am two weeks into the job and have mailed 7 packages or so to include an IPAD2. What flagged me was the order itself (IPAD2) had my name on it.

     Knowing I never ordered an IPAD2 really made me feel uncomfortable. Let alone to ship it on to another address with the invoice having my name on it.

     I will attempt to follow the steps above, I have another package on it’s way and will return it to the package distributor.

     Thanks again…

178. I just had the same thing happen to me the company is called Escrowed INC. if you received an email looking like this…it is a scam…I have done the work for 30 days shipping the last package on Friday November 7, 2014. The email goes like this:

     Hello , D’andra!

     We’re glad to know that you’re interested in the suggested Dispatch Supervisor position.

     In this email we’ll explain what exactly you’ll be doing and we hope it will only reaffirm your decision.

     Our company Escrowed Inc provides escrow services. In other words, we act as a third party mediator between seller and buyer to ensure security of both. We work with all kind of sellers and buyers, starting with your basic physical person and all the way to corporate and government clients.

     Of course we’re not just intermediary, that would be too simple. Additionally we perform as quality controllers by testing merchandise and monitoring its condition to make sure that it fits customers demands. This is quite a challenging task. We’re establishing multiple locations all over the country, to make sure that we can do our job quickly and with highest possible quality.Every office consists of couriers, quality control department (something like a small lab) and customer support.

     So we are suggesting a Dispatch supervisor position in our new office in Kansas City.

     Dispatch supervisor is an administrative position. Your main goal will be to coordinate different departments of the office. You’ll be controlling paperwork of all departments, maintaining constant flow of packages, checking the results from the quality control department as well as supervising customer service department. You’ll also act as substitute for heads of departments when necessary. Basically Dispatch Supervisor is a key position for our offices. You’ll be reporting directly to the head of the branch. This is a responsible and challenging position and at first you might need to run around all the departments (not like Forrest Gump, but at least from one department to another). At the same time we’re offering a competitive salary for the job. We guarantee base 3500$ salary + bonuses and corporate health insurance.

     This is a full time job with an 8 hour shift, 5 days per week.

     Basically this is it. No we would like to take a look at your resume. Your HR manager Bryan Rein will be waiting for a copy on the following email address bryan@escrowed-social.com. Once you’ll email the resume be ready for an express interview over the phone!

     If you get one surely it is a scam…I had to send my photo id and checking and routing number to them so they can “direct deposit” my check…the good thing about that is that i don’t have an actual bank account the numbers were to an pre paid debit card but i did send my photo id. I have all the paper work and emails to show that I really thought I was performing a legit Job. Also, I have received a “job offer” from a Amanda Barns for Edwards Logistics real company but fraud job…Glad I researched before actually filling out the form on the website. Thanks I so wished I would have seen this earlier like a month earlier.

     Reply

179. Here’s one I received today… I want people to note the email address or name!

     I looked them up before i agreed to work for the company it looked so legit. They even put a contract together. I read and sighned it. And as did they. I was legitimately talking to someone on the phone as well. And it seemd like i wasnt the only one who had heard of the company. My fiance told me hes heard of that company before and that they handle shipments.
     What im asking is are they legit. Im so scared right now. Have i really waited a month of my time for nothing?

     Reply

     • As I said in my article above, a lot of times scammers will use legitimate company names.
       If the “job” involves receiving packages and then re-shipping them to a different address or P.O. Box, it’s the scam I described above.
       You can risk it if you want. But you don’t have to believe me, just read all the comments that have people sharing the same story.

     • Hello Ana,
       we fell into the same scam. When I doing the research before I signed up I couldn’t find anything on them at all. All the websites that they sent me are all now obsolete. Sucks really fell for that one. I did not loose anything I just hope I was not shipping stolen merchandise for them. Let me know if anything else comes out of this for you. Sounds like we both had the same experience at the same time. Still waiting for my first check

     • Mike b. This is a scam as clearly laid out in the article and comments above. There will be no check and you should follow the steps listed above if you have shipped any merchandise for them because it was stolen. Not sure why people can’t see the truth when it’s laid out right for you.

     • Hey Eddy believe it or not I just received two more offers to do this job under different names. Can I report this to the authorities and will they be able to catch them?

     • Was This a legit company?? I got the same job offer.

     • No! Read the article above. Joanna was just pointing out how she almost fell for this scam until she came here and READ the article above.

     • I got the same invitation and didn’t do ENOUGH homework. I admit it seemed to good to be true (and it was), but i rationalized. Now I’m “stuck” with stolen merchandise and already forwarded 2 packages before I realized what was happening. I am in the process of filing a complaint at ic3.gov and I have already filed one with postal inspectors as directed above. Thanks, Eddy!

     • It happens to the best of Lee. It’s a lesson learned. Glad you found my site though.

     • I fell for the same one I sent one then they wanted to a business account transfer money. That’s when something didn’t fell right. And I came upon this site I got more packages coming but I did do ic3.gov. Thanks for letting me and others know. And sent the guy a message and saying the feds was looking me fraud to see what he says no reply yet.

     • Sorry to hear you were a victim too Howard. But the good thing is you found this website and you’ll be able to find legitimate ways to make money now. So welcome to the site.

183. Why doesn’t the federal government shut these sites down? You can find all the ones talked about here in a 5 second search? They are obviously illegal by doing a few minutes of research on them. Just image all the money the government could save their tax payers if they had just one person work a single day shutting down sites? The only reason I can come up with as to why the US gov. doesn’t shut them down is unless there are legal companies doing this service in the exact same way but actually paying their workers????

     • Mike,

       It’s a good question. But you can probably argue that about many illegal activities that are rampant throughout the country including in government. I don’t have the answers. It’s a great point though. All I do know is this stuff is illegal and can get you in a world of hurt.

184. Eddy,

     I recently started with immediate merchandise delivery. Now finding out it is a scam I only sent one package. I just had another “TASK” pop up and another package is being sent to me. I sent them a message on the website portal saying “this is a scam, do not send me any more packages.” They sent me back a message saying, ” You better keep sending out packages you have coming or we will take measures.” I feel like you said above they are cyber bullying and wont do anything. The only information i have given them is my name and address. Can they do any identity theft with that? I see you answer promptly on here and would greatly appreciate what you think I should do.

     Thank You,

     Joe

     • Hey Joe,

       I don’t think they can do much with the little information you provided. But you never know with these scam artists. I feel like they’d be more inclined to just move on to the next easy target. But it wouldn’t hurt to keep a watch on your identity. It’s up to you. But you’ve taken the proper steps. Sorry you fell for this. But at least you found this website and now have some legitimate options you can look into now. Keep me posted man.

185. I never heard of this scam until recently. It seems like there’s red flags all over the place, but I guess a lot of people are desperate to make money from home and so they ignore the red flags.

     Nice in-depth article about this scam Eddy. Keep the great posts coming!

       Yes it’s a common scam. And unfortunately a lot of people fall for it because it’s so cleverly disguised and desperation makes many folks suspend their skepticism. Fortunately this article has helped many people. Thanks for chiming in and the kind words.

186. Hello,

     I got this email and they called me and asked a few questions. I researched and they have a website as well. Is this a scam as well?

       I think you already know the answer to your question. It doesn’t matter what the company name is, the so called job is exactly the scam I described in the article above. It should be avoided.

     • Interesting… the name Amanda Barnes. In my email it was also Amanda Barnes initially and the follow up was Angie something… and the company was Parcel Abroad GP. These outfit will set up everything to appear as a legit business knowing that they’re praying on peoples vulnability. BTW, as far as I know… Parcel Abroad GP have been around since 2008. Crazy right? Keep passing the words…

     • It’s not surprising. The scam artist tend to be lazy with stuff like this. Why bother changing anything that works? Hopefully people heed the warnings shared here by folks like you. Thanks for chiming in!

187. Hello, my name is Brenda.
     My fiance was working for a company called Global Shopping LOGISTICS and it had a 30 day trial. He thought it was a real job but according to your article it wasn’t legit. He has sent many packages under many names and was told these packages were from e-bay and that he would receive them under a managers name and send it back out under his name. Unfortunately he has finished the job and when payday came they didn’t pay him. He made a claim through the workforce place hoping to get his money buy he has told them he is still employed by them even though he no longer receives packages and is still waiting for payment. What should he do, now that he knows it was a scam but has already sent out many packages under his name for a month?

     Reply

     • Brenda,

       I’m sorry to hear your fiance fell for this. All that he needs to do is listed right in the article above. So that’s his next steps.

188. If I have already fallen for the scam and have sent pachaging, should I go to the police with everything?

190. Hello Mr Eddy,
     thanks for sharing this article. I wanted to say that unfortunately it looks like i fell for this scam too. I only sent one package, but then stopped and did research and I went ahead and filed a report with the Postal Inspector online. I wanted to ask is there anything else i can do to fully avoid any consequences like arrest? Should I go to the local police or is that a bad idea, since they might see it as admitting to a crime or something?

     • Hey Sharon,

       As I said in the article above. It doesn’t matter what the name of the company is, if they’re hiring you to do what is described above it’s a scam. Don’t let your desire to work at home misguide you. The truth is laid out here for you.

     • Hey Sharon Weigel, do you work for PIaggio Group Inc? I think they are a legit company. I hope to hear from you. Thanks.

     • Why would you think that? If they’re asking you to do what we described above, you’ll be sorry.

     • Oy, I’ve been with Piaggio for over a month and at first it all seemed to go well. But with the trial period over they have yet to deliver my first paycheck. They said I was being transferred to the mainframe and would receive more packages after. I’ve not heard back but a friend of mine found the “US Office” phone number. I’ll post the results of that conversation after I call them.

     • Brendan,

198. I unfortunately fell victim I have not got a visit from the police, but I have sent a package out. I just received another package, and UPS told me to either keep it or refuse it and they will send someone to pick it back up. My question is how do I know where it is going? It may be going right back to the theives. Also, the package came in a different name I was just going to go throw it in the dumpster. What do I do?

     Reply

     • Sorry to hear that Kiante.
       It happens to the best of us. I don’t think you fully grasp how the scam works. They’re stealing people’s credit info. Then they’re buying stuff with the stolen credit card. Then they’re using unsuspecting work at home seekers like yourself to ship the stolen merchandise to a po box or address that can’t be traced back to them. Once the credit card victim realizes what happens they’ll contact their card company and the vendor. The vendor will then contact you since it went to you. So sending it back won’t be sending it to the thieves. It’s sending it back to the shop.

       Hope that makes sense. So what you need to do is basically follow the steps I listed in the article above. I hope this helps.

     • What did you ended up doing? Do you have a “Field Supervisor” that you report to? I went through this process for exactly this reason… to find out from “cradle to grave” how and what these organizations do and how to be more inform about this…

       So… thanks for sharing!

     • Hey Cesar,

       No I havent. But if the jobs involves shipping packages or cashing checks, then you just ignore it. Just read the article above and the comments and you have all you need to know. I hope this helps.

201. I received an email nearly identical to all the comments above from an “Exec Direct Aviation Services LTD,” contacted by a “Robert Hudson.” Unfortunately I was idiotic enough to sign the contract sent and have emailed them back. I was just so ecstatic to have a job and supposed income coming. Once again the homage “too good to be true” turns out to be true. Fortunately I’ve looked them up now and despite having a website and several google items I luckily found this website…dang, now I am so stressed about next week and what I assume will be incoming packages. Is this crap going to go on the rest of my life? Do you think there’s any danger about people coming to harm my family? (this concern only voiced by my mom, but it seems a legit concern). I’ve also received emails/contract and even a phone call from a second company for an identical position/gig, this time by “Edwards Logistics” sent from an “Amanda Barns.” Fortunately I have not signed this and will not be.

     Thank you for this website. I only hope it’s not too late. Hopefully this can help others who operate with a bit more logic/discretion/caution before they give away their signature. But desperation in a desperate economy goes a long way in luring helpless victims in.

     • Hey,

       I wouldn’t know unless they actually explained what they’re expecting you to do. But the fact they provide any real details on what the job entails leads me to believe it’s either a home business or possible scam. But this is a guess.

207. I’m freaking out officially because I filled out the paperwork and just recieved a package today. I didnt open it, but I am concerned is my identity gonna get stolen? what do I do now?

     Reply

     • D,

       Follow the advice listed in the article above. In terms of the identity theft stuff you should probably invest in some identity theft or credit monitoring services.

     • Randy,

       Ask them if the job involves shipping items you receive at your home to some other location.
       If so then you know it’s a scam.

210. Eddy, I’m freaking out. I’ve been in contact with a Lexie Redman from OTP Logistics. I was very cautious in the beginning, but I went ahead and signed an agreement and gave her our address after looking at their website. I DO NOT want to get in trouble with this! Is there any way to keep packages from getting shipped to our place?

     Reply

     • No need to freak out Linsey. Just follow the advice in the article above and you should be fine.
       You can ask the mail carrier to return the packages back to the company or just don’t accept them.

211. Was so happy to find this site. Thank you. To you and the others that have done the work for me. Have received the email from I’m not sure maybe 5 different names on it.
     Amy Berger, Angie Bowel, Hibbard Trinity etc.. Thanks again. Your site is the best

213. I received the same email as Julia Lane today. I went to their website and even though it looks legit, some of the language was a bit “off”, so I kept digging and ended up here. Thanks so much for your help in sorting through the scams out there!

     • You’re welcome Bev. Glad you were able to avoid this nonsense.

214. Have you heard of a company based in Poland by the name of RPE Logistics? It is basically the same set up as the companies described in the previous blogs.

     Reply

     • No I haven’t but it really doesn’t matter if it follows the same patterns that have you read in the comments and article above. The company could be called God’s Logistics for all I care. If it involves the activities listed here, you know what to do.

215. Another scam! I’ve reported them.

     • just got done dealing with these people…Thank Goodness I ended up here… the good news is I have not received any packages… the bad news no new income coming in…Thanks for the heads up

     • Glad we can help you avoid it. But now that you have found this site, you should explore it since we list multiple legit ways to earn income.

     • http://www.parcelsabroadgp.com/ after reading all this I believe its a scam BUT boy does this web site look legit..

     • Thanks for sharing Andre.
       Creating a professional website can literally take minutes. But as you know it doesn’t matter how polished the website looks or what company name they use or refer to. If the job involves what we described it’s something to be avoided. I don’t see anything on this website about a re-shipping packaging job though?

     • @Eddy they sent me an email with “Job offer” in the subject line. There were two Word/PDF attachments (an application and “contract” with the info. I’ve already reported them. The “HR” woman Amy B. called me yesterday asking if I was still interested, what joke. I also traced the IP to Atlanta. When you call the number it sounds “legit”, but it’s not. I went as far as to call the landlords of the building to see if and who they are at the address they gave me. Stay tuned.

     • Julia,

       These guys are relentless. SMH.

     • @Eddy Yeah but it sure is fun to answer the phone “FBI, how may I help you?” if they call me again.

     • LMAO. Hilarious Julia!

216. Hey, thank you for this page. The information has helped me a lot… I was just about to sign some forms from this guy calling himself OTP-Longistics… t.d & otp.pdf agreement files. But i was hesitant about giving out my ID Card Number…. then i decided first to search the net. Then the same guy (manager) Alexie (Alexandria) Redman appears and it’s true that a research on this company might not find any bad reviews since it registered as NEW and strangely an IP address from Germany and russia. With all this I’ve declined to sign the agreement….. and the way i thought i had secured a job!!!

     Reply

     • You’re welcome John. I’m happy you’ve been able to avoid these scams. Fortunately you found this page and now you’ll have legitimate options to chose from. You dodged a bullet buddy!

     • I was just scammed by OTP-Logistics as well. When I searched the Internet I did not find any information about them except for they had a newer Web site. A person by the name of “Lexie Redman” was contacting me. Everything sounded great, until I read this.

     • Well J Helms at least you were able to avoid this and can now find real legitimate ways to make money. Disaster was averted. LOL

217. Oh my gosh, I thought those things were something from the past. A couple of years ago I almost bit and applied to one of those companies, but it said someone had to be home all day and in my house there may or may not be. Then I wondered why, since they can come back later or leave it on the doorstep or leave a note. Then I wondered why they’d ship stuff to a stranger in the first place.

     I feel terrible for the people here who got schtuped by this. Want a silver lining? I learned, through my googling, that since the paper trail is leading to you, you could be held liable for the crap that was purchased using a stolen credit card and then sent to your house in addition to being arrested for theft. So you see, if all that happened was you mailed off a couple of boxes and then never got paid for doing it, just say good riddance and live and learn. You got off lucky. Those people are evil.

     • Unfortunately scams don’t just disappear. There is always a new victim for an old scam. Sometimes they just lie dormant or re-invent themselves. But if it worked in the past then some shady person will bring it up again. But fortunately we’ll be here to educate folks! I’m glad you were able to avoid being a victim of this!

218. Apparently, I have fallen victim to this scam as well.

     The latest scam comes from Double K Logistics, LLC. They are based in Oak Harbor, Ohio and their website is http://doubleklogistics.com/

     I applied online and was contacted later that night by the “HR Manager Thomas.” I was not available to talk because I was in church at that time. He promised me that he would contact me the next day. However, I have not heard from him since. I tried repeatedly to get in touch with him and even reapplied for the job but heard nothing from him.

     Today, I received a package in the mail from Amazon.com with my home address but with a name that nobody within my household is aware of. Nobody within my household ordered anything from Amazon.com that is the size of the package.

     I am now certain that this is a scam after finding this page as well as the following page: http://exposingemailscams.blogspot.com/2014/07/double-k-logistics-inc-forwarding-agent.html

     Please do not fall for any scams from Double K Logistics, Inc.

     • Thanks for sharing Michelle!

220. I just got out of a scam similar to the ones on this page. the “company’s” name is Independent Trading Supplies,Inc. Long story short, they wanted me to reship packages for $1940 a month only working 20 hours a week.

     It wasn’t until I was online last night(8/24/2014) that I realized that what I was involved in was a scam. I immediately emailed them and told them that I will no longer work for them and don’t send anymore packages.

     I saw all the bells and whistles of a scam when I was going through the application process, but since they didn’t want any money, I ignored them. Heck, I even signed an employment agreement which really had a lot of work put into it.

     So everyone be aware of any one wanting you to reship packages, even if they have a website and official looking documents for you to sign. Inspect the websites that they have set up. Upon further inspection you will notice that many of the links lead to no where and the Facebook and Twitter links only lead back to those service’s web template service. Go to: indtsupplies.com and you can see for yourself.

     Don’t let the desire to make good money or the need to work at home cloud your judgement when you make decisions about online work, even when no money comes out of your pocket to participate. You may end up paying for it later in jail time for accepting stolen goods.

     • what email address did the emails come from?

     • Jerisha,
       It doesn’t really matter. Most of the time the emails the scammers use are gmail addresses or one they created with the domain they purchased. The focus should be on what the alleged job is. Once you’re dealing with reshipping scams, it doesn’t matter what the company name, email address, etc is. As I said in the article above the scammers will even refer to real company name’s info, etc.

     • Hey I think I am a victim too, I search on Google for work at home job. I received a couple of email from this company called OTP Logistics explaining all the details and how much money I was going to make every month and for every package I sent out i will make $30 dollars extra. I did sign the agreement with a copy of my photo ID which they did told me in the email to scratch my ID number so I did sent them back the papers, after realizing it is a scamm I email them back letting them know I was not longer interested in the position and that I have already contacted the FBI. Also did a research on this company and its still new so you might not find any bad reviews but what really got me thinking was is that the I address is from Germany and russia. So becareful people don’t fall for any of these scamm. Luckily I have not received any package and if I do received one I will sent it back to where it came from and explain the situation…. any re shipping work from home is a scamm…also the manager the sent me the email is lexie Redman be aware people…

     • Yea, I was trying to see if it was the same person who contacted me but OK.

     • I hear ya Jerisha, but it doesn’t really matter. You now understand it’s a scam and what should be done.

     • Hey Jazz,

       Thanks for sharing this with us. You probably just helped someone else avoid this nonsense. Keep us posted.

222. Scam I found below. Watch out for http://www.piaggiogr.com

     Greetings, dear applicant!

     First of all I would like to thank you for your interest in our company.
     My name is Mr. Joseph Bonowitz, I am a Hiring Department specialist at Piaggio Group Inc. Our website is

     http://www.piaggiogr.com
     The primary line of our company’s activity is correspondence and distribution for customers all over the world

     wanting to trade on the Internet.

     Why our business exists:
     We offer our services to residents of different countries who want to buy and sell at Internet stores servicing

     the United States, European Union and Canada, but find it difficult because of shipping restrictions and

     complicated transactions.
     As a result, thousands of people cannot easily access the huge market with high quality products at low prices,

     that America and the European countries have created.
     Our company’s service makes buying and selling easy and possible with street addresses that can be legally used

     for shipping purposes.
     Much like you have a friend or relative in United States or European Union, our Product Forwarding Contractors

     residing in these countries inspect and repackage the contents, fix the boxes and forward the packages of

     merchandise bought or sold on the Internet to customers in final destination countries. Also we provide

     guarantees and insurance service.
     That is why we contract with people like you for parcel and mail forwarding. Also, we will need smart,

     responsible people who can be trained for management positions.

     Products usually shipped through our service:
     – Luxury items such as watches and jewelry
     – Sport equipment
     – Small electronics such as laptops, cameras, cell phones, tablets, GPS, PC components, etc.
     – Clothing, shoes, handbags etc.
     – Small auto parts

     IMPORTANT: We never offer to ship illegal or restricted for export or import materials and technologies.
     All parcels are compact enough to be processed within the room of a regular-sized house.

     Each address you will ship packages to – is our sorting facility. The packages are being shipped to our

     customers, but you don’t see their names and addresses on shipping labels. The package is being inspected and

     re-shipped further after it arrives at our facility.
     We have several types of customers.
     1. – Some of them are residents of different countries – they buy products online for themselves and use our

     service to.
     2. – some of them are residents of United States, but they live outside of the US and use our service to receive

     their personal correspondence, financial correspondence like bills or invoices and buy products online.

223. You’re very welcome. Just follow the steps listed in the article above and that should cover yourself.

     Reply

224. I am not a competitor, I was a former employee that never received payment for shipping.

     Reply

225. I was contacted by Emily Katz with Shopping Express. I sent in all the information that they required to start the job. What should I do? They have my information.

     Reply

     • Is this job with Shopping Express USA confirmed to be a 100% scam? I did the same thing as you and have already started receiving packages. Have only shipped out 3 boxes, but am now having doubts about the whole thing. Can’t seem to find enough information to prove whether job is real or a scam. They have my information too. What do I do?

     • Come on Ken. Don’t let desperation get the best of your judgement. This is a scam. Just read the article above and all the comments above. It doesn’t matter what the company name is, if they paid you or you receive shipments. The premise is still everything I covered in the article. Your next steps are also listed in the article too. I know you don’t want to believe it’s a scam but it is. Just view this as a lesson learned and focus on the other legitimate resources I provided you in the article above. I think you know this is a scam already but holding out for hope it’s not.

     • Yup. I’ve been fooled, because I didn’t listen. I found this post after sending off two packages with ann holloway with American shopping logistics. When I received the third package I went to the police department, I was trying to find any way that this wasn’t a scam. I took the item there and they couldn’t confirm anything was illegal, stolen or anything bad about the company. The officer even mentioned, you can keep it, sell it or return it. I held on to the item for a few days because I was unsure. I then got an email from ann holloway saying if I didn’t send it out then she would call the police on me. I sent the package and every other package I received. I did it for the full 30 days, hoping and hoping this was legit. I emailed an holloway to confirm that my first paycheck would come on August 4th and she said yes. August. 4 came, and of course. No paycheck. I was really desperate even after finding your site , I still did it. Lesson learned for sure.

     • Hey Kristina,

       I’m sorry you fell for this. Sometimes desperation leads us into dark places. But it’s a lesson learned and now you know better. Hopefully you take the time to full explore my site and enjoy real opportunities that aren’t scams. Thanks again for being brave enough to share.

     • Yes, I was very embarrassed and shamed to comment but I just know there are others in my shoes, feeling that desperation and thinking it must be true!! I wanted to share with others, trust your gut 🙂

     • Well I applaud you. That’s exactly what scammers are counting on. They know people will be embarrassed and just clam up. But when you have folks like you that have admitted to a moment of weakness and share this information, it will help others avoid this nonsense. So thanks again for being brave!

226. Thanks for sharing Brooke!

     • People please open your eyes. I was a victim aswell. After reading all this comments i know that otp logistics is a scam company just like the rest of them. I have not received my package yet and if i do i will contact the company where they sent it from and explain that i was a victim of a scam and ship the box back to them.

231. Has anyone else heard of send-it-off? I’m convinced it’s a scam now (thank you!) just wondering if anyone else has found this one.

     • Hey Kiekie,

       No I haven’t but if it involves shipping some packages you already know it’s a scam. The company could be call Santa’s Claus’s company & It wouldn’t matter. As long as the job involves re-shipping things it should be avoided. Don’t worry about the company name, website, etc.

232. I got my 1st package on the way when I came upon this. I havr returned everyone of the packages and have contacted the guy by the name of Bob Brown and told him to stop. He did reply. So they should stop coming,

     Reply

     • Feel free to share the emails and job description you replied to so others can avoid this nonsense. Either way I’m glad you can came upon this article and it helped you. You’re very welcome. 😉

233. Avoid ukeasyshopping.com. It is a scam. It is not legit. They may sound legit, but like Eddy Salomon has had said. It is fake. If it was that easy to make money everyone would be doing it, but I told my supposed “boss” that I receive fraudulent postage and this is what he replied back with

     “Hello Caylie, I understand your concern, I have checked, those two labels were given by customers. Please hold the parcels until the situation will be cleared up. I have passed this to our security, they will take care of dishonest clients. You have nothing to worry about, it does not address you as private person. That is the issue of the company and we are already working on it. As we are dealing with huge variety of clients sometimes there are problems arising, and we strive to sort them out as soon as they basically arise. That is actually not a “big” problem, but it is an inconvenience of course. However that mustn’t stop us from operating on the schedule, so I must ask you to continue with the work, as to accepting and keeping sending the packages out. That is indeed an inconvenience but in business things do happen. Thank you”

     You see, they can make it sound like they are professional, but they cant make an explanation.

     Reply

     • Hilarious Caylie!
       I gotta give it to these scam artists they are very creative and convincing. But fortunately we all know better now. Thanks for sharing this scam with us!

234. I was a victim of a reshipping scam, as well. If it doesn’t seem legit and you were ordered to shred the invoices from the packages or you keep on questioning whether this job is really legitimate. Don’t fall for it. Thankfully, I received a notice from the postal inspectors that the pre paid shipping labels I was receiving from the said company were in fact fraudulent and out of date postage. I now owe up to 196 dollars to those packages for postage due. Company’s like this can really ruin you, your sense of self, and more importantly financially ruin you. Anything that sounds to easy or good to be true don’t take part in it.

     Reply

     • Damn Caylie,

       You should confirm if you really have to pay for those packages. You were a victim of a scam and shouldn’t be held accountable. I would dig deeper and ask around. Either way thanks for sharing your experience. It’s an unfortunate situation. Please share the name of the company, including any emails so it helps others avoid this nonsense! Thanks.

     Hi Jams,

     My name is Christine Madsen and I am HR Department representative.
     PRO Carriers LLC is located in Denmark and we ship various goods from US to our customers in Europe and Asia that do not have possibility to shop by themselves. Most of US shops don’t provide international delivery for our European customers. We specialize in providing the opportunity for them to shop at US online stores by having our own shipping managers within the US that can reroute packages abroad.
     For this job you would have to receive packages delivered by domestic service UPS, FedEx and USPS at your home address, inspect them and report to us. After that we provide you with the shipping info along with the shipping label. Processed packages have to be taken to the Post Office. This is a home based position with no additional fee. Pure salary of $50 per package processed. $1800 is a roughly amount for the trial month. After that the amount will increase at least twice. Delivery hours are 9am-5pm, but every package has a tracking number, so you can plan your day. Moreover, your relatives are able to accept packages while you gone, so you don’t need to stay at home all the time.
     You can find more info at the company’s website: http://www.pro-carriers.com

       It should help others avoid it!

239. Another to beware of is RPE logistics. Almost fell for it, but thanks to this site I ended employment right after I signed the contract. Filled out an employment application, received job description, even a contract with an official company stamp on it. Then came that gut feeling and I decided to do some research on Quality control inspector employment from home. After this site I sent several emails (no reply), called the numbers given only to get a busy tone. I filed a report with the agency listed above. Just really upset because I provided a copy of my license.

     • I’m so happy you were able to avoid this scam because of what you’ve read here. You did the right thing! In terms of your license you might want to invest in some identity protection to ensure no financial accounts are created in your name just to be on the safe side. Thanks for sharing!

240. Oh no! I just sent my first package yesterday! and I have another one I was planning on shipping tomorrow. I am glad I came across this page. I am going to follow the steps you provided first thing tomorrow. I feel so foolish. I hope I do not get in trouble. I had no idea. I did feel like something fishy was going on but i asked so many questions and was somewhat desperate, hoping it was legit. The company i was contacted by was American Shopping Logistics. Her name is Ann Holloway.

     Reply

     • Hey Kristina,

       It happens to so many people because of that desperation. We stop listening to our instincts because we want a work at home job so bad. But that’s how they get you. Either way, I think it’s early enough where you shouldn’t have any issues. Just follow the advice in the article above and you should be fine.

       If you can find the job description and emails that were sent to you by the scammer, feel free to come back and post it here so it helps others avoid it.

     • I was contacted by Ann Holloway also from American shopping logistics, she has shipped items & I haven’t had time to ship them to them, but when I google the addresses they are all PO boxes in other places. She threatened to call the police on me so I sent a nasty gram & she straightened up. I’m not trying to get in trouble for any of this crap

     • That’s a smart move Cliff. Try to return whatever they shipped you to the vendor and report this person using the links I described in the article above. If you have any emails or “job description” from this fake company, please post it here as well so others can avoid this nonsense.

       Thanks for chiming in!

241. I was recently contacted by this company about a Logistics Manager position. I went to the website helpus staffing.com and did the app and submitted my resume. In a few days they contacted me with a phone interview and after that they contacted me saying that I had the job and that I needed to sign a contract agreement. After that they said my supervisor will contact me within 1-3 days with all the details of the job. He contacted me today telling me that I have to stay home from the hours of 9am-5pm Monday-Friday to receive packages. I will be sent a printer, ink paper and a digital camera to do the job. I have to open packages and take pics of the items for reference. I can be paid by check or direct deposit at the end of every month and I can contact payroll if I wanted to start with bi weekly payments. They also said I would receive a company cell phone as well. They said I would fill out W9 or I9 forms and state and federal taxes will be deducted form my pay for taxes and I will also have health, dental, and vision insurance as well. They also reimburse you for gas with $250 monthly. The supervisor name is Edward Eastman and the hr manager name is Gerard Stone and they are based out of Fontana ,CA. I haven’t started receiving packages yet but hey seem to real and very believable with saying they deduct taxes and health insurance and company cell phones. Anybody would believe this job is legit I am very skeptical since I have been reading these messages. Do you think this job is a scam as well with the info I have just told you.

     Reply

     • Hey Elma,

       Yes it’s a scam. Once you hear your job is going to involve receiving packages and then sending them elsewhere it doesn’t matter what else they say or make you do that sounds legit. It’s a scam that should be avoided. So follow the steps listed in my article above.

242. I ALSO FOUND A JOB ON INDEED.COM ITS SHIPPING ASSISSTANCE ITS ASDFORW, LLC LOCATED ON 80 BROAD ST NEW YORK, NY 10004. THEY MADE ME SIGNED AN AGREEMENT ALSO AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY LEGIT BECAUSE IM VERY SCARED AT THIS MOMENT AND I DONT WANT TO GO TO JAIL FOR THESE PEOPLE….

     • Would you post a link to the job listing? My best friend actually works for Indeed and I can send her the link with these complaints so she can have it removed.

243. I feel so foolish! I received what I thought to be a job offering of receiving and shipping items ( which I thought would be art at first due to the email address ) Everything looked legit . I googled the email address and it came up with a legit looking website with a lot of art sculptures and paintings . I was told that I would get get paid $2400 a month +$25 for every parcel that was sent from me. It also said every package would have the tracking info with it .I electronically signed a “legit looking” contract and gave my name and address . 2 days later, which is today , well technically yesterday now which was the 24th of June 2014, I received two boxes, neither had my name on it but someone else’s with my address! It just felt like ssomething was not right about what was being sent, and one of the packages was one that was not expected at all! I am suppose to recieve two packages tomorrow and as soon as I do I am sending them to to the local police station. I can’t believe I fell for something so stupid! The email address is Southcoastusafineart@gmail.com and the lady states her name as Jessica. I hope this helps someone!!

       Don’t feel foolish. It happens to the best of us. It’s almost a rite of passage many of us go through before finding something legitimate.

       At least this scam led you here and now you’ll have other options and you’ll learn how to avoid other scams like it.

       You’ve also probably just helped many other people avoid this by sharing your experience.

       So thanks for being brave enough to share with us.

244. I applied a job from Indeed. The company name is ASDForw, LLC. They sent me the contract to sign but I didnt. However , I put my name ,address,dob , and phone number when I am applying , would that be a problem ? Can they do identity theft with those info ?

     • Murad,

       I’m not really sure. You may want to get some identity theft protection just in case.

245. Has anyone heard of ASDForw, LLC at 80 Broad St in New York, NY? I received a job offer from them after applying for a Shipping Assistant position that they had listed on INDEED. I can not locate any specific company information and they have a virtual online office that you are suppose to work through n http://www.on-line-office.com. They also have a lengthy confidentiality contract that you must sign before starting any position

     • Lorna,

       Of course they’re not legit. Read the article above and the many comments listed. This isn’t a legit job. Follow the advice listed in the article if you’re scared and want to avoid any issues.

246. I was a Victim of this “Pick and Send” company. Thankfully with the help of the local police and FBI, they were able to pin point my credit card fraud to a “New Hire” that lived 15 miles from my home that accepted a job from this s*it company. Beware of what you do online. There are so low life people out there that are taking what we work so hard for and please beware of jobs that you are applying for…If it sounds too good to be true, IT PROBABLY IS!

       I’m glad to hear you were able to get some type of resolution with this scam. Unfortunately when it comes to the work at home industry there are usually more scams than there are legitimate opportunities and it’s why my blog exists. As long as people do their research and let their common sense dictate their actions online, you can avoid most of the scams as I’ve done for many years. Either way, I’m happy you were able to come out of this pretty well. Thanks for sharing your experience.

247. I responded to a job listing in Craigslist for a company in Wisconsin Called Pick and Send LLC. http://www.pick-and-send.com/?p=s1 I was contacted by Amy Davis (heavy accent) and the job application was very “short and simple” but i completed it because they didn’t request any personal info. Then she contacted me and indicated they would need a copy of my drivers license so that’s when i started doing scam research. I’m glad I found your article. I am currently working form home but I wanted to see if I could find additional income supplement. I’m glad I second thought those people.

As you can see by the hundreds of comments, we’ve been helping people fight and avoid this particular scam for years. So thanks for chiming in!

248. Wow, this is amazing. I thank you so much for this page Eddy. I was recently contacted by a David Landon who claimed to be a Human Resources Manager for Packaging Plus LLC. about a Quality Inspector position. Needless to say I was extremely skeptical about this. So I looked up the website and of course it seems legitimate. They even have the position posted on the website. He sent me the job description and employment application. It seemed simple enough and a bit too good to be true. Even though I was skeptical, I still filled out the application because I have been unemployed for 10 months now after working for the same company for 12 years. I figured as long as they weren’t asking me for any money I was in the clear. Not even 48 hours after I filled out the application, I received another email stating that I was hired. I really couldn’t believe that. Even though I have a lot of experience in my field it was just too good to be true. He emailed me a contract wish seemed legitimate too. I haven’t received any packages yet from this company or should I say this scam. I am so glad I found your page before I became an accessory to any crime. As if the long term unemployed don’t have enough to worry about!! We are being preyed upon! Packaging Plus based out of Wilmington DE is a Scam!! Please beware everyone!

     Reply

     • Hi Brian,

       I’m glad you discovered this article. The scam artist reference real companies all the time. That’s to throw you off the trail. But once you hear anything about receiving and shipping packages it doesn’t matter if they said they worked for God, it’s a scam.

     • What if they pay you (in cash) return all communications and never ask you for a dime? Still a scam?

     • If I rob a bank and pay you to drive the get away car, is that legal?

       The answer is the same. Even if they are paying you you’re willing helping move stolen product and screwing over someone’s identity.

       If you’re fine by that than continue to do this. But when the feds coming knocking, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

254. Just a question, is there any way I can report these people?
     Gordon and Spencer sent via Sendgrid.me- I applied for a job thru INDEED, got an email back from Susan Spencer… Before I submitted the form I google searched the company and nothing came up so I thought something was odd then… Another thing is when I received the email on Fri 3.21 the company link work, but when I went back to check, the links are all now showing Page cannot be displayed error like the page never existed… I pulled the headers off the email and have IP’s, though I know headers can be edited…
     This sucks because its feeding off people that already don’t have jobs, so Im sure some don’t do the research like I did before submitting on their fake website… Is there anything I can do, don’t want this to happen to anyone else…
     Thanks

     Another thing to look for is whether or not there are misspellings in the emails you receive. If it is a reputable company, they will more than likely have editors/proofreaders for any official emails being sent out (i.e. job offers and applications). The email I just received had at LEAST 5 misspelled words and used poor grammar.

     It offers detailed explanations as to why there need to be overseas shipping coordinators. I replied to the email asking questions about the job, but after doing the research and seeing the vacancy listing, the first question I asked myself was “Why didn’t they just refer me to the link with the job listing?” I haven’t done anything more that respond to the email.

They didn’t ask for a ssn or anything other than my name and address and phone number to txt and/or call. I am allowed to open them and its supposed to be art supplies and things of that nature. The $ to mail them to the address they provide is enclosed in the package along with my weekly wages…. is this a scam? I am very skeptical but if im allowed to open it, and I know what art supplies look like because I am an artist myself, and they also said they will need me to do some art supply shopping and mail the supplies to the address that they will supply. They said those packages will be money only to do the shopping along with my wages. I don’t know what to do on this……

     • hi danny, so were you ever contacted by the authorities?

       deb

     • I contacted and was contacted by the FBI, They told me to keep the records and to try and keep anymore packages still being sent in. The company has deleted my account I can no longer log in to work this is all within 2 hours of me filing a report

268. Thank you so much for this info, Eddy. I just fell for this and I told a friend about this “great” job I landed as “Quality Control Manager” for Sungate Researches, Inc. doing this very thing, and a few days later, she forwarded your article to me. So far, I’ve stopped receiving packages, saved everything on a flash drive, and I’m getting ready to file the other complaints you mentioned. I noted that the dashboard they had me working from was rigged so it couldn’t be copy and pasted or saved onto a disc or flash drive, and I’m sure they’re getting ready to pull down or block my access to it when they realize I’ve stopped accepting packages, so that’s why I wanted to save it to protect myself. What I did was take a close up photograph of every screen on the dashboard with my camera, transfer it to my computer with a USB cable, put it in a folder, then use a drag and drop to get it onto the flash drive. I’ve included this info in case anyone else is a victim and has trouble saving any info or work dashboard from the company. All of the packages I’ve sent went to Russia or the Ukraine, so I doubt the FBI could do anything to them, given our current sate of affairs with Russia, but at least I’ve got everything to protect myself. I should have known it was too good to be true, but I am so desperate for income, and I just hoped I had caught a lucky break for once. This particular company is Sungate Researches, Inc.
     17 Rector St.
     New York, New York 10006
     Phone (347)696-1059
     I just hope my info might help someone else from becoming a victim of this Russian identity theft ring.

     • Hey Derrick most of the scam websites look legit. So never let that fool you. People are under the misconception that scam artist can’t produce legitimate looking businesses but they do it all the time. Ask Madoff victims. So never let that fool you.

     • Hi Eddie Thanks again for your advice. It was indeed a scam! When I google mapped their noted address it was an empty lot used as a front.

     • Hey Derrick,

       You’re welcome. There was never a doubt in my mind that it was a scam. Even without Google map their location, I knew it was a scam because of what it involved. Next time another scammer may use a real office building to fool someone. Either way, it doesn’t matter and now you know.

272. Hi, I have been recieving packages in the mail from USPS and now fed ex, with my name as the recipient, I’m afraid my identity has been exposed, since it states my name on whom and where it will be sent too..
     1st package was some outdoor sandals and I believe a gift card or something coming from someone by the name of Donald Gordo!

     Called the company it came from lady laughed at me when I said I had no clue who it was. Went to the local mail and refused the package, now have recieved a secondary package with no name this time but will be also refusing the package..

     What should my next steps bue? Is it possible my identity has been compromised ? If anyone can give me any insight or help would really appreciate it…
     I might also add oddly enough this has all occurred a bit after ordering some auto parts from a couple websites could this be the basis of how and why I am recieving all these random packages ?

273. Hello, unfortunately i was scammed i called my local police station and they gave me the number for the FBI office because they couldnt help. I spoke to someone from the FBI office and she said they couldn’t really do anything, just to call the manufacture from where the packages are coming from and let them know i didnt purchase it and it was someone else sending packages to my house. I reported it to ic3 know idk what to do. Im receiving more and more packages.

       I was contacted by a company to re-ship as well. I have started to do some research on this. Are you still receiving and re-shipping packages? It is curious that your local Police or the FBI was willing to get involved?

274. Thank you for this information. I have just recently been looking for a medical transcription job and have put my resume into job search engines. Apparently, one of these scammers picked up my information and emailed me.

     “My name is Henry Wilson, an Interior Designers, Decorators & Art collector” stated in email along with paying me up front $300, work 4 hours 2 days a week for 3 weeks at $300, out of my local city/post office, mailing and running errands for a 3-week period

People want to try to rationalize this stuff because everyone is so desperate to find a legitimate way to make money at home. But that’s exactly why the scammers do so well.

278. what if the company that has you doing the reshipping actually pays the postage and you are never out of pocket?

     Reply

     • Some of the scammers will pay you. But it’s still a scam, they’re just using stolen money. It’s as if i robbed a bank and then paid you with the money stolen to drive me around. It’s still stolen money and you might be considered an accessory. So why take the risk? Don’t let desperation cloud your judgement.

     • Are you suggesting that all re-shipping companies are a scam? If so, based on what? Honestly looking for answers.

     • Clearly you didn’t read the article or the comments from other people in this article. Maybe reading it from the postal inspectors website will make it crystal clear: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/radDocs/consumer/ReshippingScam.html#AcceptJob

     • George, there are tons of people that are being paid by these scammers. But just because someone robs a bank and then pays you to drive the get away car doesn’t make it a legitimate driving job. lol But feel free to to try your luck. Ignore the advice of the folks from the BBB which has countless articles recommending against this scam: http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tab=ww#hl=en&safe=off&tbo=d&sclient=psy-ab&q=package+forwarding+reshipping+scams+bbb&oq=package+forwarding+reshipping+scams+bbb&gs_l=hp.3…9150.9674.2.10055.4.4.0.0.0.0.81.284.4.4.0.les%3B..0.0…1c.1.3.hp.EcJKdATyqgg&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42553238,d.cWE&fp=12948d4393918b3c&biw=1229&bih=647

       By all means please ignore all the countless comments and this article. I wish you the best!

     • George don’t be naive, It happened to me. It can happen to anyone, the best thing to do is to protect yourself because if you don’t who will? we’re all here for support and please do not make the mistake of believing a scammer. Talk to someone you know listen to the people you trust I am confident they will only want the best for you.

     • Sometimes out of desperation people want to believe scams are real despite what everyone else tells them. I’ve seen people argue the same thing for scams like cash gifting and recently zeekler:
       https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/07/21/are-cash-gifting-giving-programs-a-scam/
       https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2012/08/20/update-zeekrewards-com-zeekler-com-is-shutdown-by-sec/

       Or sometimes you have situations where the scammer comes on websites promoting mistruths because they don’t want their scam to be crushed so they plan seeds of doubts which folks tend to be open to especially if they’re desperate to make money online. But fortunately most people are like you Andres and can see the reality of the situation.

     • Eddy;
       Have you found any information regarding people being arrested and charged for re-shipping packages? Are you or were you doing this?

     • Nope but I’ve personally been called into a precinct when they thought I was part of this scam but fortunately it was cleared up right away when they realized I was a victim.

       All the data is out there via legitimate sources like postal inspectors and other consumer agencies this type of behavior is a scam that can lead to bad things. If you folks want to continue to risk it because the stolen money is good. By all means continue.

       Thanks.

283. I got an email offering the same bs, their scam site is http://www.intern-service.com it appears the website has been taken down. Anyways the gist of it. working at home receiving and shipping packages, my duties were to inform my “district manager’ that my package had arrived and they then issued another shipping label and my job was to deliver this newly stamped package to USPS to ship it somewhere overseas. I would have made $30/box with expected income of at least $1500 a month as I am unemployed you can quickly see that I fell for this scam I applied, I got the job interview and then had to submit a picture of my DL to begin working. Well today would have been the first day of receiving packages, but thanks to this website and to everyone who contributed I became aware of this scam and as such I told the UPS delivery man to take back and return to sender. I didn’t contribute into this scam by shipping the boxes overseas but I am also unsure of what steps to take next… I know I have stopped all contact with them and I will not receive anything that arrives here.

     Reply

     • Thanks for sharing your experience with this scam. You probably stopped someone from running into this one.

     • Ok Eddy one of the boxes came, I had UPS take it back with them. my last step would be to submit a complaint with http://www.ic3.gov. I have already submitted a complaint/report with the BBB of Virginia the place where this so call company is located. I submitted my DL and my DL number is clearly visible in it should be worried about Identity theft?

     • Hi, I’m not an ID theft expert. But usually ID theft requires things like social security number and other information like your name and address to work.

     • Eddy I was contacted by a victim who actually shipped these boxes overseas, damn it I got carried away. I fell into this trap one day after having a job interview at Macy’s I though was going to have two jobs in less than a week sigh…

     • Damn that sucks. So many victims of this scam. It’s a good lesson we all learn from.

     • Yeah the worse part the person had no idea and had already shipped 30 of the boxes… and they owe that person $900..

     • Poor guy. That’s money he’ll never see. Hopefully he kept a record of all the emails he had with this scammer just in case the authorities contact him.

288. It has been two years since I last fell for this scam. I still have all of the information that the scammers sent me as well. As I look back now, I realize that I was incredibly naive. I was 18 and just barely getting out into the real world. That was the very first time in my life that I had ever succumbed to desperation. I am extremely lucky that I managed to get out unscathed when I fell for it. But it still haunts me from time to time.

289. I was recently suckered too by a company like this ( Intpackages.com). I wish I would have read this post, I did as much research as I could about forward packaging, but I found nothing (until now). Unfortunately, I did send the packages, but I do have all of the correspondences that “Robert” sent me and of course I did not get paid! I think Craigslist should also give such a warning to job seekers so they won’t have to go through what we went through. What should I do?

Each package was delivered to my home address by FedEx with a different name than the person I forwarded the package to in Russia.
     In the past 10 days I have received 3 different bills from the Bill Me Later organization at my address but not to “me” but to a different name. I marked each envelope “not at this address” and left them for the mail carrier to return. This is all very disturbing and I will file the appropriate complaints.

293. I have been contacted by a company called premium-delivery out of the U.K. They are also a shipping/ receiving from home company. I spoke with the gentleman in charge and he calls himself Michael Grey, however when I looked up the area code he was calling from it was Brooklyn N.Y. and surrounding areas. They asked me to send a copy of my license and to sign a contract and e-mail it back to him. I have already done this and I am supposed to receive my first package today (06/27/2012), Now after seeing this site and reading about the various scams I’m afraid I have been suckered into exactly that. How do I know if it legit or not and how do I know if they have stolen my identity. What can I do to avoid prosecution if it is a scam. Is there a way to find out if it is legit or should I treat it like it is a scam. PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!

       In terms of identity theft, you might want to look into some identity theft protection program. Your local bank probably has one or you can find it online.

294. Yesterday I came to your web site when I was looking for shipping and receiving scams. The company that I was looking for was EMS UK Transportation company. I had graduated from college in may and had posted my information on the job sites. After many failed attempts of trying to find a job, I finally received an E-mail from this company, I filled out the job form and sent in my resume and DL. I stated receiving packages on the 6-6-2012. Like everyone else on here, I was told to open the package and take the invoice out and trow it away, re-tape the package and take it to the post office to be shipped. After receiving a lot of packages and shipping them off, I started looking closely at the invoice and who was being billed for the products. It just did not make since to me that a person that lived 18 to 30 miles from my home would order a item and then have someone send it to my address to be shipped overseas to Russia. I called the local telephone numbers on the invoices and found out that each person I talked to had fraudulent charges on their credit cards the same day that was posted on the invoice.
     I E-mailed the person that I suppose to be hired by and let them know that I could no longer receive and packages or ship them. After I E-mailed them, not long after I received a phone call asking me if I could ship the package that I received yesterday and today. He told me to fill out a ticket and tell them how many days I worked and how I want to get paid. After filling out the ticket the man called me again, I told them I could not ship the package, the person started saying it is very important to ship the packages so they won’t loose their customers. I told them I am sorry but I can’t ship them and the man told me I wouldn’t get paid for the days I worked. I told him, well I can’t send them, so I guess I won’t get paid.

     Yesterday I filed a complaint with the IC3 and then today I went to the police department. The police officer I spoke to said he would investigate the matter. When I ask him what I suppose to do with the packages I received yesterday, he told me to go ahead a ship them so the people would not be alerted. When I got back home another package had been delivered and then later on another package was delivered. I did not take the police officer advice, I did not ship the packages overseas, I refused the package that was delivered today and I also mailed one of the package I received yesterday back to the seller, I also called UPS to pick the packages up that was delivered today. I refuse to send any more packages to these people, If they were a honest company, they would be concerned about this, all their worried about is getting their packages.

295. I hate to say it, but I believe I am one of the victims. I graduated in May and posted my information on line. I received an E-mail for a job offer from EMS UK Transposition Company and answered the job post and put in for the job. Everything looked fine, I had to fill out a job application and send in my references. On 6,7,2012 I started receiving packages and I received and shipped them thru 5,23, 2012. I received packages about everyday and shipped them off. I began to question this when I received packages for a person in the town 18 miles from my home. I took the invoice and called the person that suppose to be ordering the package and sending it to me To little surprise, all the people I called said they didn’t order any package. Some phone numbers I tried to call didn’t match the address on the invoice and the number listed to call. Now I am afraid, and don’t know what to do I am holding the packages I received today.

     the name of the person is Timothy overdaft. and i believe that they are european.
     they claim that the company is located in houston,Texas. and even gave phone numbers and called me several times. just after i was working for them for a month they closed my access to the website where i reported to them, stopped answering my emails, and the phone i had sounds like disconected.

     I am really scared and i would like to go to the police but i dont want to get involve in crime or investigation or even less be taken as an accessory!

304. I was contacted through email by the HR manager Alexander Waters of Fulfillment Worldwide LLC, late March 2012, concerning employment for the position Of Commodity Inspector. I returned an email message to him informing him that I would like the opportunity to be hired for this position. Mr. Waters sent me application and Job description papers I filled them out went to the nearest Office Depot and faxed these forms to Mr. Waters.A couple of days passed, Mr. Waters emailed me and informed me that I was hired and that a Mr. Andrew Laman would contact me and let me know when work would start. The following day Mr. Laman contacted me by Phone to let me know packages would start arriving soon.April 4th the first package arrived at my home, throughout the month of April, up until the last day of the month of April I Accept parcels sent by postal services: FedEx, UPS, USPS.I check the integrity of the parcels the state of goods match description of the goods. With each parcel that was delivered I reported to Mr. Laman by phone or internet sending him photographs so that he could examine it. Mr. Laman in turn would send me Shipping labels to Mail Parcels. This is what the job of a Commodity Inspector. Every day during the month of April Mr. laman and I transacted this business.
     The time eventually came for me to get paid for my job. Myself and Mr. Laman spoke about what date I would be paid, which should have been 5/4/2012. That day in question was on a Saturday, I call Mr. Laman because I was skeptical and concern about receiving my pay on this day of the week. Mr. Laman did not answer, and he has not answered yet!! I have left him numerous phone messages and emails to him and Mr. Waters; I have not received response concerning my pay.
     I have saved all paperwork, emails, and phone records, copy of signed application and job description papers and shipping labels that was sent by Mr. Laman. I recently found out that this business is SCAM!!. It was not until an investigator from a reputible law firm that I contacted about this matter returned my complaint about this company. I have been so STUPID!! to believe that this was a real job. I will follow the instructions of this email and contact the neccessary authorities.

305. Well I think that’s part of the scam. When they get workers information, they’re able to get even more credit cards. I never thought about it until you mentioned it so the scam is even worst when you think about that.

     You should definitely invest in some identity theft monitoring and protection service ASAP! Even if this didn’t happen it’s a good service to have.

     You’re going to want to monitor your credit regularly now.

306.  Hi, I also was a victim and sadly I went through the whole month working my butt off for these guys thinking I would be very well compensated for after my 30 day probationary period. I will post all of the emails and shipment documentation (I even had phone conversations with them), etc. at a later time once I can take a deep breath and clear my head of all my worrying, fear, and humiliation from being so suckered! I sincerely did homework on this too and the company (Blue Rock Financial Group out of London and Chicago) appeared totally legit, they had employees that were verifiable through other sources, their phones all worked, they had clients that you could contact for references ( I called a number and just hung up because I just wanted to make sure it was real, it was) and they had me sign a prof contract that verified my base salary of $2500 per month plus $15 per parcel, 401K, and all expenses paid. Oblviously I did not ever get paid and I wish I had searched more than just on this company’s name!! I was looking to ensure the company name didn’t have any bad comments or illegitimate tendancies and I found nothing! I SHOULD OF BEEN LOOKING UP THE JOB DESCRIPTION INSTEAD!! As you have suggested, I will report everything I know to the local police in the morning and I did keep ALL documents and correspondances, of course they no longer are shipping to me since I have demanded payment for my 30days, and they no longer reply to my calls or emails and now the web sight is gone! I can’t understand if all of this keeps happening how are they getting so many stolen credit cards and how many of them are out there doing this to us??
     But the major thing I don’t see answered or addressed in any of these comments is what can they do , if anything, with my name and drivers license now that I have supplied them with it? My credit is just on it’s way back up and I have worked very hard to get it there. DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT MY CREDIT AND MY IDENTITY? All that I have seen so far is what we need to do to get the stolen items back to the store or officials but nothing about how to protect ourselves, the “repacking employees/VICTIMS” from them using our information in the future. Please advise and I will certainly be back with all the disgussting details and documentation from these scam Masters!

307. I was contacted by a company called continental express ltd. out of helsinki, finland shipping packages to the russian federation and the ukraine. i only sent one package but when they totally refused to let me see the agreement that i would be signing, i reported them. They then sent me an email saying that they would recommend that I not do that…Well to bad…I did!

     • Good for you! In any event, I’m glad you found this site. Now you can actually focus on real legitimate options. Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience.

308. Uh, we’ve made this clear many times over in the article and comments. This stuff is never legitimate. As I said in the article, sometimes they use legitimate company names and thus their reputations. Don’t let desperation cloud your judgement. You already know the answer to your question. Read the article above and follow the advice. That’s why it was written.

310. Thank you for the heads up! I received an email from “Tarco Logistics LLC” offering me something too good to be true, claiming to be a forwarding mail packages service. I researched before responding & glad I did. I was alarmed when they requested I fax them all my personal ID information, but no telephone # to speak to anyone. Upon internet search for their address: their main office is in Czechoslovakia (run down building) plus another in Arizona, where their “business name” is not even listed when searched, nor any of the names from the email. Always do your research before responding to any offers!

     • You’re welcome. Glad you avoided this. You’re right if everyone always does their research with any work at home opportunity, you avoid a lot of issues.

311. My Open Border (myopenborders.com) is another such scam. I accepted the job and sent in all the required documentation including an employment agreement and application and my DL then I found this article and I decided to test it out so I deleted my name and phone number and put that my previous employer was the Denver PD and requested they change my info and they immediately locked my account so I couldn’t log back in.  

     I just hope I caught it in time.

313. This helped me a lot….I  actually received the e-mail from a local place that helps you find jobs. I do not believe that they know it is a scam. The paper said to send a resume so I sent one and they e-mailed me and said that I have the skills and to send in my license and all that to verify identity and then sign the contract and all of that. I never got around to doing that before I started researching. I called the number for the company which is http://www.uslogistics.org which is supposed to be located in Brooklyn and somebody just answered the phone as if they were at their own home, no business phone, no professionalism or anything. The website seems legit but they ask you to do the exact same thing you wrote about in the article and when I googled the address it was the address of a home and not a business. I now know that this company is not legit and I will definitely report it and make sure that the local business that gave me this listing knows that it isnt legit as well.

     • As we’ve argued in the article, if it sounds like the scam described, that’s what it is. Scam artist are notorious for using legitimate company’s identity so when you do the research it comes back clean.
       So with that in mind if it walks like duck and sounds like a duck then it’s a duck. Just because you put stripes on it doesn’t mean it’s a zebra now. Follow the advice listed in the previous comments listed above.

     They will ask for all your info including SSN#/DOB and spouses first name. Then they will open ebay account in spouses name. Auction with stolen credit card, ship to your address with someones name. First shipment is something small so they can see if you will do it. The second shipment will be in the range off
     5-10 thousand dollars. Now here is the wopper!!!! Both you and your spouse are in trouble here.
     If you have started shipping for this Company get all the info you can get, make a folder and call the police. Make a report as soon as possible.

326. Hello Scared Mama,

     I got scammed by  a Company swift-post.com in 2009.

     So here is what I did :

     1 Make copies of all the links on the Dashboard. Also off all shipping labels you have.  Make a folder.
     2 You called the company the shipment came from now return it to  the company. Get info on person you talked to at said company. Put info into your folder.
     3 Call the boys in blue and make a report, hand them the folder. They will deal with it from that point on and you are no longer considered an accessory but a victim/witness.

330. I have also been suckered into this.  The company is called Optimum shopping.  I received an email for a job offer from career builder.  They told me I would receive packages and that if I get it to the post office before noon the next day, I would get paid $35.oo per package.  Convenient how they would email me the shipping label at 11:23 AM.  It went off to Russia, and I was weirded out at that point.  They want you to go onto their website, but she called it a Dashboard several times a day to loofa for my task.  I then was supposed to open the package and check it out, right a report on it etc.  She wanted me to upload my report to the dashboard and make sure I would check a particular box to tell her if the package was received or shipped.  We just moved to another state and are desperate for additional income so I can stay home with our daughter.  I have package number 2 in my car.  I called the company it was purchased and told them it was sent to my address with another name on it.  Now, I don’t know what to do.  HELP!!!! I don’t want to get visited from any boys in BLUE 🙁

I looked on the the bottom of the website and it says it is BBB accredited but when I looked up swift-post in the better business website(BBB) I says that it is a non accredited business and there is 1 employee. I am so skeptical about, everything looks legit but it just seems like something isnt right. I even looked up the addresses and everything but I couldnt find much information,

333. I to found this site just a little late, I actually have two companies to report which are Relogistiks and Worldwide Forwarding Service (or wf-service). I have already been working with them for 2 weeks and have shipped out 2 packages for Relogistiks and 3 packages for wf-service. I saved all the emails and information I got from the packages themselves and have copies of the invoices which I will turn over to the police after I file with ic3.gov and will contact the businesses the items were purchased from  so they are aware this is a scam. Then I just hope for the best, I’m a single father trying to raise my kids on my own since I got laid off from my job  and got suckered.

340. Man….man……man……..I got scammed by a company called springleaf consulting. I lost my job of 5 years in 2009. Was on unemployment trying to find a job for almost 2years. Stressed and on the verge on losing everything I went to the net looking for any work. Having two teenagers and a split custody I saw a at home shipping and receiving job. I was to dumb to see the signs at first. Actually talked to a Russell Pritchard. So I started receiving packages and resending them. I wasn’t receiving as many as I thought I should being that there was a quota for each month. After I started questioning the company and this Russell character there was no response and the number he gave started going to a property management company. I’m kind of upset and scared that I was apart of something like this. I was just trying to supply a income for my kids and myself to live. I made a huge mistake. I hope people read this and learn from my mistakes. I’m going to my local police station and was show them my paper trail. They told me shred all the copies but I kinda knew something was up with this job so I kept them. Hopefully I can help these cowards get caught up for taking advantage of people who just want to work hard and take care of there family.

When I first heard about it, I kind of already felt it was a scam, he continued to tell me more about and it sounds a lot like what you mentioned above…also no W- 2 was needed or anything. That really threw up a red flag! I could not find this company thru BBB and I called the number and it is answering service. They are stationed out of New York, NY. usforwarding.net and the number is 347-674-3995. I just wanted to put the word out there, look like another scam company, trying to get over on folks that are looking for honest work in the messed up economy. Have you ever heard of this company Eddy?

     • Thanks for sharing. The company does sound vaguely familiar. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what the company name is because scammers are smart enough to use real legitimate company’s name to throw you off. All you need to do is look at what the company is asking you to do. If it involves accepting packages and then reshipping them somewhere else, that’s pretty much all you need to know as a huge red flag. Everything else is meaningless at that point.

     I understand. We can start without providing the documents. But this way we won’t be able to ship lots of packages for the first test month.

     After you   apply for a position we will ship the packages to your address. We will provide the detailed information such as tracking number, contents of the package, arrival date. If you realise damage, even if it is not clear how it came, we have to be informed. Sometimes it’s a hidden transport damage that can not be seen on the outside the box. In this case we immidiately have to inform the insurance of the transport agent. Then you need to check the content of shipment according to invoice or other attached documents
     Then you have to ship the package from the nearest usps, dhl, ups or fedex post office. We provide prepaid shipping labels so you don’t have to pay for the shipping. After you ship the package we need a copy of the postal receipt or we have to wait until the status of the shipment updates online. We pay for the each 15 shipped out boxes.
      In order to start please provide your correct address, contact phone numbers and a scanned copy of your ID or an utility bill for a verification. Then we will ship the first test package to your address.

     Description of
     the Incident

     I received a job offer from
     careerbuilder.com website that the company named logistics-art need indoor post
     operator with the job description but the job didn’t seem to be at home. I
     applied for the job by sending my resume, after applying I did some research in
     Google by typing the name of the company but didn’t find any link that lead me
     to their website so I started typing logistics-art scam in Google and I
     couldn’t find anything so I thought that this is a legitimate company and not a
     scam or fraud. A day later they got back to me by saying that we have approved
     your resume so please fill out this application. I filled out the application
     and sent it back to them. They sent me another email by saying that we have
     approved your resume and application so please provide us the best time and
     phone number so we can interview you. I sent them that information and no one
     called me and a day later they sent me another email saying that we have looked
     at your resume and application again so we have approved you please sign this
     contract. I read the contract and it sounded legitimate to me because they were
     not asking me to pay money for any shipping or anything like that. They also
     asked a bunch of other questions in the email that I replied such as how far is
     the post office from my home and do I have a printer or not and few others that
     I replied. With

     The contract they asked me to
     send them the copy of my DL but they did mention that I can hide all the other
     parts of my DL for security reasons except I should leave the name visible so
     they can identify me. I did send the contract with the copy of my DL. They
     asked me to register myself in their website. They also sent me an email that
     all the process is complete and you will receive packages with in 2 or 3 weeks.
     On

     December 1st, 2011 when I was in
     my relative’s house. I received an email that I will

     Receive one package on December
     2nd and another package on December 5th. I came home and picked up the package
     from the front desk and since it seemed very small and puffy so I thought that
     it is my clothes from American Eagles and opened it up but once I opened it up
     I found out that it is the package from the company that has hired me and sent
     me the package. Inside the package there was also a paper that I read and it is
     someone’s name that lives in VA Beach, VA. I sent an email to the company that
     I have received the package and they replied me that I should wait for the
     further instructions. Since I discussed the nature of this new job at my relative’s
     house so they told me to be careful and do some more research on this. When I
     came home on December 3rd I digged deeper in Google till I found out this
     website which explained everything to me.

      

     Here is the website address:

     https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/10/07/package-forwarding-reshipping-job-or-scam/

      

     As soon as I read it I called 911
     and two officers came and I explained them everything but they didn’t file a
     report and gave me the information to contact the Local Police economic crimes section
     which I did this morning and explained them everything and they told me to file
     a complaint on ic3 website. I did also contact the local FBI and asked them
     whether or not to receive the packages that come today on December, 5th and I
     asked them to please send an officer to my address so I can explain everything
     but

     They didn’t and they also told me
     the same thing and asked me to file a complaint online.

     Fortunately, the package that
     they sent is still in my apartment and I haven’t forwarded it to anyone.

      

     The UPS truck just stopped by my
     apt to drop off two other packages but I refused and told them that it is not
     mine and someone is running scams.

     I have all the emails received
     and sent from and to the company that I can provide.

     Please contact me as soon as
     possible and let me know what to do.

     Thanks a lot,

     12/06/2011 13:59:55 ————————————————–

     On December 6th, 2011 after I
     rejected the packages I called the Local Police economic crimes department and
     told them what I have done so far and asked them to please come and pick up the
     package that was sent to me on December 2nd, 2011. The police officer advised
     me to call the company where it has been shipped from and tell them that it is
     a fraud. I called the company and explained them everything and asked them to
     send a return label. They appreciated the help and sent me return label.

     Since the package was already
     opened up by myself in the first day when I got it so I made a scan copy of the
     paper that was inside the package as a supporting document that might help the
     Law enforcement officers in their investigations whenever they start it. I have
     that paper saved for Law enforcement officers if they request it. I took the
     shipment label with the other paper to UPS and shipped it to the original company
     where it was purchased from and the company did understand that this purchase
     was a fraud.

     After I came back. I sent an email
     to the Logistics-ART company to the person named Jendrikuz Rodriguez that: I do
     not wish to do this job. Please do not send me any more emails.

      

     Note: Like I mentioned before the
     911 officers came and they heard what I said regarding the whole issue but they
     didn’t write anything and they said that it is the responsibility of economic
     crimes. When I called the economic crimes they just advised me that it sounds
     like a scam but they didn’t come to write a report or investigate it although I
     told them the whole story on the phone. They told me to file a report on ic3 website.
     I also called the Local FBI for investigations on this issue to stop what this
     company is doing but they didn’t do anything and they just asked me to file a
     report on ic3 website.

     Thanks,

     Victim’s Name

     Thanks.

     12/07/2011 17:28:33 ————————————————–

     As I mentioned before that I sent
     an email to the email address of the company but few hours later I received an
     email that that email was failed because there is something wrong with the
     address.

     ON December 7th, 2011 I received
     two emails from the company again. Here are the emails:

      

     Email # 1:

     After I sent the second email
     that I don’t want to work for your company. I received an email saying: Fuck

     off shit !!!

     I ask the IC3 to please take care
     of this because they have my following information:

      

     My Resume

     My Full name

     My address

     My telephone number

     My email address

     My DL with only my name and
     picture visible on it.

      

     These kinds of people operate in
     probably different places and steal anything they want but want to get the US
     residents in trouble of law enforcement agencies even they haven’t done
     anything but just wanted but wanted to earn a couple bucks during this bad
     recession.

      

     I hope these stories that we
     share on this website gets around all over the internet so that everyone is
     aware of it.

      

     Thanks a lot.

     • Wow, that’s the most detailed account I’ve read for this scam! Thanks for sharing this with us. I’m sure if people actually take the time to read it, they’ll learn a lot!

     • Yeah Eddy. I wanted to share every piece of information about this scam so that other people don’t get trapped in this kinds of scam. Please spread out this information to any where you can so people can easily find it in web search. Thanks.

     • You’ve already done this by posting this information. So thank you for doing it. Because trust me it will be found as you found this site.

     • Eddy,  
       I have been suckered too.  I have sent one package and it went to Russia.  I received the second package, and I was really feeling that there was something up with this company. I don’t know what to do next.  I called the company that it was purchased from and told the person I received a package to my address, but my name was not on it.  They said they would send me a UPS label, but they have not yet.  What do I do?  Do I go to the police?  I have a 2 year old who need her mama.  I don’t want any men in blue coming to my door!!!! Help!!!
       The company is called Optimum Shopping.  I’ve been speaking with a lady named Carry.  She has a persian accent/middle eastern accent.  HELP!!!!!

     • I also recieved an job offer like that but it was Transit Air Solutions Inc. Funny thing the names the packages came in with, went out in a different name to Russia. I’ve sent the first two packages out before I realized it was a scam but now I have four packages still here because I refuse to mail them to the scammers. Today 3 more packages came but refused them. Now I’m trying to get someone to do something so these packages can be returned and I’m sure those people credit cards were stolen to use to purchase the products. I’ve trieved the postal service and they refered me to the postal inspectors to fix the problem but they haven’t returned my calls. This actually is a mail fruad  scheme using other people credit cards to purchase stuff.

348. A company names Logistics-ART is also a scam company. Please be careful folks. I will post my complete story here for the friends so they also become aware of it.

     • I have been working for the same company too for two weeks. I had a feeling it was a scam I  was just hoping for the best. I don’t know what my next step should be since I’ve already sent a few packages.

351.

353. Delivery LTD IS ANOTHER FRAUDULANT COMPANY!
     They came in thru a wesite for work at home and my husband had ot get involved. Supposedly they are located in NorthCarolina and everytime you call you have to leave a message and they will call you back. They will pay you $2900 at the end of the month tax free. Well my husband had to get involved.
     Packages start arriving at your house and you put the pre-paid postage on there and take it to the post office and they do the rest. Wellllll one package was held up at customs and another post office location would not ship it from their location. So when my husband asked why all they would tell him was it had to do with fraud to the UKRAINE.
     That’s when I got curios and rememered all the mail we were receiving from different credit cardcompanies with our address but different peoples names. So I asked why would any AMERICAN ship stuff to the UKRAINE makes no sense. He still didn’t get it. So I started to research and came upon your page!! Thank goodness! I had him file a report with the police nad him do a credit check since he sent them a copy of his DL.
     This is not that important to the police department so I am wondering who else am I suppose to report this to? I am concerened because our address was all over the mail.

     • My suggestion is follow your instincts. As I said in my article above they may vary certain things but if the gist of it sounds like we have described in the article above and the many other reports by folks on this page, then it’s best to avoid it.

355. Can you provide a little more detail like the emails you received? That would be very helpful to others who may stumble upon this company.

359. I think I almost got my boyfriend into some serious trouble… I saw an ad on craigslist for a “Shipping and Receiving Clerk” and he submitted his resume and the email below is what came back. I was skeptical because I don’t know many places that will hand a job over just like that and then I saw the location, we’re in NY not Kentucky. I went on the website and it doesn’t really seem to be saying anything so I searched some more and found this site. Thank you so much for posting this and allowing a forum for other people to relay their experiences. I would have been pretty upset if I had inadvertently gotten him arrested and I’m pretty sure he would too.

360. I just found your site while trying to research an email my wife just received…I’m 99.99% sure this is a scam, but have yet to find any info.  To me, the first red flag is that an unsolicited email is not even asking for an interview or potential interest, they are offering the position.  Secondly, the email address it was sent from is sbelcher@4seasonswireless.net and the email address given to reply to is gerald.carter.k@hotmail.com.  Then, third, they do not give any website and when I searched the name, I found no website.

     Well, that’s interesting, I also got a response from a resume I sent through craigslist (when will I learn?!) and the company refered to in the email I got was “SPRINGLEAF CONSULTING” and they seem to be neighbors…

362. I just started working for a company called MegaShipping.net, according to the comments that I’ve been reading on your site, they may be a scam business as well.   One of the packages I shipped came back with insufficiant postage and a letter from the U.S. Postal Inspection company talking about this type of scam.   The questionier had questions that outlined the job they had me doing.   And to think I shipped about 16 packages in just 2 weeks.   I sent in the questionier last week, I guess I’ll be hearing from the feds soon.

     Reply

363. What about ‘Stockholmtek Inc’ ? I am afraid I’ve also fallen for this scam and the bad part is I’ve shipped out 2 items. Any suggestions on reporting this to authorities??  

     Your help and thoughts are greatly appreciated!

364. Don’t feel bad…. Me too bro….

365. Try using my scam video to research companies from now on:
     http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams

     Keep in mind a lot of times the scam artist use real companies that are legitimate. But you’ll notice that their contact information they use to contact you is usually a free email address from yahoo, gmail, etc and never really from the real company’s domain. And if you call the real company with the information that is actually on their site and not what’s provided by the scam artist and ask if the person actually works there or if there is a job like the ones described in the email you got, they’ll say they have no idea what you’re talking about.

     At the end of the day this isn’t hard to figure out, once people are asking you to receive packages and resend them elsewhere, the gig is up. You don’t need to dig much deeper than that. Never let desperation get the better of you. Hope that makes sense.

366. Thanks Eddie for this website, because of this, I found that some innocent people  and myself  have been fooled by this company named Express Forwarding USA, LLC, and   the Contact name was: BRENDA TURNER  and their website is  EXPRESSFORWARDINGUSA.COM.  Here is the FACT, this company is a subsidiary of Express Cargo USA, LLC. in New York, a  LEGITIMATE company with a RATED “A” from BBB. Beware of this company because the  truth is, even  I was a victim of this, they didn’t send my paycheck after a month of my services I did with them. I tried to call Brenda at their office in New York, and ask her about my paycheck, she said that they already sent my paycheck,  but until now  I didn’t receive yet anything from them. Now they blocked me and I can’t access their website anymore, even though  I have a SERVICE CONTRACT AGREEMENT with them, but still they’ll just use my service for their company benifits. I’m  only worried about my personal information that I submitted to them. This company is only looking for innocent people that they can use for A MONTH for their business, and  they will used their personal information to make fraud. As of now I’m receiving at my home address some Credit  Appilcation, Credit Card Billing Statement,  Change of Address Letter, and some Letter of Dispute from a Credit Card Company, all of this are not for me  nor address to my name. It was all address to  the Managers name I’m dealing with while I’m working with them.  To make me feel safe and secure after I read the blogs on this website, I filed a report of this in our local POLICE, with BBB, to EQUIFAX, EXPERIAN, TRANSUNION, IC3, and also with FTC, to make sure that they cannot use all my personal information with their FRAUD. I hope that those Goverment Agencies, especially the BBB who  gave them a RATED “A” will STOP and  REVOKE the Business Lincense  of  this company by  victimizing or using innocent people like me, for their own business benifit.

367. Well I  have fallen for this. I am very worried now as well. I received the email a month   ago and forwarded them my resume as requested and filled out an application from the business as well.  I am worried because they now have all my information, SSN, and DL, and I don’t know if I have already hurt myself in some way or not. They used my name and address to received items for about 3 weeks to ship products to Europe, but I did not get my paycheck.The company website name is expressforwardingusa.com.If I could get some advice on what my next steps should be, I would appreciate it. Thanks to this website Eddy!!

368. I gotta say i totally fell for this one and ive dealt with many scams. Academic mailing services seemed legit and offerened liscense and BBB information.

     Reply

369. Please refer to Federal Trade Commission case number: 33375290 and 33025822. Recently, the email that is claimed to come from fake foreign package mailing companies from either UK or Ukrain. The email preyed on innocent folks’ desperation. It lists too-good-to-be-truth pay. Following is a samples of email:
     Salary and benefits:
      – $40000 yearly – paid in parts every month;
      – Flexible bonus system;
      – Working hours: 9AM – 4PM Mon – Fri
     It requires the recruited workers to receive packages and then re-packaged. Finally, send to third world under-developed countries under their own names.
     I fell victim to the scam and suffered a nearly $3,000 lose, included: the failed to pay the promised pay,
     my own out-of-the pocket package expense, my own car and gas, and the lost benefit.
     There are several risks involved: first, of course, the fake company is not going to pay a single penny of the promised pay. Second, the cheated online sellers can press legal actions against the scam victims for participating in scam (essentially, it means that the cheated online sellers regard the scam victim as the accomplice of the fake foreign mail package company. BE AWARE AND DON’T FALL FOR IT.

370. Hey everyone, this is really not a scam. Well at least some of them are not! umm my brother did the package forwarding thing for about a month. I was helping him so everytime they sent him a check I got a cut. Thebad thing about it is that they send you HUGE and I mean HUGGGGE package. Mainly college textbooks.

     Reply

     • If I rob a bank and then “hire” you to help me receive packages that I bought with the stolen money, does that sound legitimate to you even if you get paid? Don’t think just because the scam artist actually takes whatever stolen money they got and pays you it makes it fine.

371. here is another one.

     • Thanks. But it would be more helpful if you included the email your received.

     • They sent me a email claiming it was from Academic Mailing Service. The guys name was Martin Wilfred & Steven Freeman. Thanks for the heads up my man….. I’m scared now because I sent them my resume & everything man even my private information… But idk man…… I looked up their services online & they have a company in California… How can I tell that this is a scam….. I posted my resume on job searching websites like careerbuilder.com & other ones like that…. But I have also signed up for http://www.lifelock.com so if they try to use my information, I’ll get a heads up & it’ll be stopped.

372. Well I am quite embarrassed that I have fallen for this. I am very worried now as well. I received the email several days ago and forwarded them my resume as requested and filled out an application from the business as well. Them seemed legit until I read this article. I am worried because they now have all my information, and I don’t know if I have already hurt myself in some way or not.

     • Don’t feel embarrassed. A lot of us have fallen for a work at home scam even yours truly. Just take it as a lesson learned. As long as you haven’t reshipped any packages, you should be fine.

373. Has anyone heard of a company called Wallspf?

     Reply

     • Here’s the real question you should be asking yourself. Does this company sound like anything we described in the article above or the many other scam companies others have reported on this article? Don’t let desperation cloud your judgement. If you’re doubting the company there is a reason. It probably exhibits the traits of other scams listed on this page.

374. Thank you for your article.   I found your article because I received one of these very emails this morning (an apparent downside of having a resume profile on CareerBuilder).   The spelling and use of the English language in the email was atrocious, so THAT it was yet another one of these scams was not even a question in my mind.   But, I was curious what the scam actually was and whether anyone had put out an alert about it.   So, again, thank you very much for doing this public service!   FYI – the variation I received involved a purported company named FERS, based out of Poland.   The email itself came from someone’s yahoo account (totally different name than the purported “sender” listed in the email).   So, I think  that some poor soul’s email account got jacked as well.

376. There are actually 3 victims…the cardholder whose identity has been stolen, the reshipper that has taken this as a job and the REAL victim is the merchant who sold the merchandise…the credit card companies do NOT reimburse the merchant.  The merchant is out their merchandise, shipping costs, packaging, employee labor to package and process the order and their profits.  It is theft and the merchant can legally sue the individual that received the stolen goods.  So not only does the “mule” take the chance of jail time, they could potentially be liable for monetary compensation to the merchant.

     Reply

     • You have a point but Merchants already price their merchandise in such a way to accomodate for a certain level of theft that occurs in their given industry. So they have some built in protection although maybe not all encompassing. With that said our real concern is the regular people who don’t have such protection. We can all agree this scam is just bad for everyone involved and the best way to combat it is education and continuing to report instances of it.

378. Thanks for sharing this. Please understand it’s not the job’s site fault. Most of these scams are hard to identify at first glance because a lot of times the signs that it is a scam doesn’t neccessarily come out until you contact the “employer” for more information and then the real scam is revealed. That’s why all job sites have a flag a job feature so that they can be made aware of when one of these shady jobs are on their site. There isn’t an automated way to screen every single job posted on these sites. So it’s up to the job seeker to make the sites aware.

     Furthermore if folks always did their research before taking action on these jobs, they would avoid most scams. So it’s a two way street. You can’t depend on others to keep you safe or save you. You have to depend on yourself. So just keep that in mind. I guarantee now you’ll be more inclined to research any company that you may consider and that’s the good side effect of when stuff like this happens.

     Either way, Thanks for sharing!

I week later they called me and told me it was ok if i did not want to work for them but i had to send the item to the address. I sent them another email stating that if they did not find another means of sending their products that i was going to send the products to the police station, am awaiting a reply now and hopefully i dont get a call from them of any sort.

382. Sorry to hear this. The problem isn’t the job boards. These scammers post real looking jobs that you wouldn’t know are scams from first glance. Its only when you apply you can tell its a scam provided you know what to look for. Most job sites have a way to report bad jobs. So if more people use this, the bad jobs would be flagged right away. At the end of the day we’re all responsible for our own actions. We sometimes let our desperation cloud our judgement and that’s always a perfect storm to make us a victim. The key to avoiding and scam is to always assume everyone is guilty until your research shows otherwise.

383. Please take the time to read the article above and the numerous comments that list similar companies like this. Don’t let desperation cloud your judgement. The answer is crystal clear.

385. Pretty much! Common sense goes a long way with most work at home scams. Unfortunately our desperation can cloud that sometimes.

386. Well, to my humiliating chagrin, I’m apparently a victim also, almost two weeks in.   Wished I would have did a few weeks ago the search keywords I used this time.   Before I googled the alleged name of the company and scam.   Nothing came up with them and scam, but then again no mention of any kind of this company.   So I guess it’s one of the more recent dummy companies.   So for you others out there (maybe this one has indeed already been flagged–I don’t know) expresspostmaster must be one at their http://www.expresspostmaster.com.   It has all the signs: they solicited through craigslist, I sign an alleged contracted that, with my ID, I scanned and forwarded back to them, supposed to be paid about a month after having sent off my first package, they have a fairly elaborate dummy  site where I log in and update packages received and sent and which claims to offer services for interested customers/clients as well as employment opportunities.   At least I found this out before settiong up a paypal account they suggested as means of my payment.    

     So which authorities exactly should I contact? Local(city), state,  federal? and which departments thereof? attorney general for the state, maybe?   I especially want to make sure I’m proactive and file a report with the appriopriate authorities first, so I can preempt any charges of me being in collusion.

     • I just signed on with a company called Stargameltd and this sound almost exactly what you did, I have only did one package so far.

387. Do NOT be fooled by Springleaf Co. either! They just tried to lure me in. Their English is fine and their offer
     of 2,200 a week is enticing. It is the same run-through and scam. Found this one on craigslist via PART TIME SHIPPING CLERK WANTED. God bless.

     Reply

388. I wish i had seen this one sooner. I thought I did my research as well. They have a functioning website, I signed a “contract” and was told that after shipping boxes for a month i would be given a check. They emailed me that I would  receive  a check and then emailed me the week of payment they would contact me the following week. I have emailed, called them and even tried to contact the head guy to find out that the phone number on the website was the same number as my “supervisor”. I feel like such an idiot. I never kept anything and have all my reciepts for shipping as well as all of the emails in which were sent to me. I was really conned this time. I thought that since there was a website and i actually worked. I sent out boxes to clients. If you get this email do NOT respond. Learn from my mistake. From now on the only work i’ll be doing at home will be household chores.

     • So do you really think this one is a scam?? The only reason im asking is because I think my boyfriend did this one. I f I’m correct what should his next step be?

390. Here are to companies that people should steer clear of as well as all jobs that you cant verify.

     http://expressforwardingusa.com/?p=about&s=6

     BYC Consulting Group – I reported these people and as a result of turning them in to the BBB, FBI, and the attorney general of my state they are no longer running a website. The way to combat these people is even though you get an offer you should still turn them in because this helps the law find out who is running the server and hosting the websites they are using to scam people on.

392. I wish I had found this website before because these criminals are actually getting on job boards now such as CareerBuilder.com and Indeed.com as well as many other popular job search sites. I was approached by a company based off of my resume which was posted on CareerBuilder.com and the company which turned out to be a fraud company had a well developed website with the better business bureau backing and they got me through my business PayPal account. The name of the company trending job sites with there fake job is Express Forwarding USA who claims to be a subsidiary for Express Cargo out of New York but beware Express Forwarding USA is a fraud a big time scam and they are very cleaver because all of the red flags were not there they came off as a reputable company were everything even the pay was normal and it turned out to be a hoax.

     • Latoya,

       I wish you did too. But hey better late than never.
       Scammers have always used popular and legitimate job sites. They’re hard to combat because they disguise the scams as real jobs so these sites won’t even know something is wrong until someone applies for the job and reports the scam.

       The best defense is knowledge and always assume that everything is a scam unless proven otherwise. And the way to do that is always do your research which we make easy with pages like this and our scam video:
       http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams

       Be safe out there and proceed with caution.

       Thanks for sharing this scam with us.

     • Thank You, and I did further research and I actually spoke to the people who do work for Express Cargo and they were aware of the fraud company because they said they have had several people over the past couple of weeks call them with the same issue that I did. The bad thing about the whole situation for me as well as the other people they are scamming is I found out they buy this information or hack into systems such as the payday loan system and there your identity is gone and unless you get something on your credit report your name and address is being used without you knowing about it. I just went ahead and filed identity theft because they had my drivers license and I didnt give it to them so this is a huge problem and I wish there was a way more people could be aware. I had to really search this website. I found out that these people are using a real residence out of New York but the person who claims to live there doesnt it. Its not a business its a apartment owned by a couple. Again, I did research and nothing came up until the damage was done its like they hacked my system so I wouldnt find out and now the damage is done Im finding out everything. No money was sent overseas this person had personal information and was using it to get things off of ebay by using my company paypal account.   Ive had an account with Paypal for over five years and no problems so I feel in a way Paypal should of picked up the fact something wasnt right after the first transaction because I dont use Paypal unless Im buying something and its the only way to pay otherwise I didnt use Paypal so I feel also people need to be careful with Paypal and Ebay also.

     • I was scammed by the Express Forwarding   USA   as well they are indeed very cleaver. They really need to be stop this is awful that they can just get on a job board and pull innocent people resumes and get away with using us to help with something illegal it makes me sick and it’s so many people looking for work but i want everyone one to beware of this hoax please don’t fall for this scam. EXPRESS FORWARDING USA IS A SCAM!!!

     • The law enforcement folk are aware of this scam. But a lot of times these scam artist are outside the country or are very clever in hiding themselves. So it’s not like nothing is being done. But the best way to combat this is exactly what you did. People need to do their research with opportunities like this and spread the word as you did when you run into this crap. If all folks did this, then these scam artists wouldn’t succeed. So thanks for sharing.

394. Sorry to hear you fell for this and wasn’t aware of our site which provides legitimate job leads daily here:

     Just view this as a lesson learned. Never let desperation cloud your judgement because that’s what the scammers are preying on as you found out. But dust your shoulders off and press on. Now that you found this site, hopefully you take the time to read it and take action. Good luck.

     • I agree and to people out here please dont sign anything because what I gather is you just gave them the right to use your information and the fact that there not over here is they can do more damage than good. Its not just the work at home scams its another scam going on where fake law firms are calling people and threatening them that they will go to jail if they dont pay them for a payday loan. The catch is that they get you on the phone and try to get you to confirm your information. Ive had this happen to but I called the payday loan people they claimed to be calling on and they said I didn’t owe anything that I never had a loan.

       So, the other scam that the Payday loan people told me about is the one where these people over seas have hacked into the payday loan system and gotten old information and are using it to scam people out of money by claiming that there social security is under investigation and if you dont pay you will go to jail. So beware it seems like with technology and the easy access to our computer systems for these people are putting our finances at risk.   It does seem like more can be done because if someone from over seas can get all my information and I didnt give it to them but I get in trouble for it doesn’t seem right to me because nothing will be done to them there not over here for them to prosecute for there wrong doing.

     • I am adding to my previous post I just received another scam through email from Global Access Mail… I have learned to look at the IP address as well as just knowing that you have to be smart and understand that there is no need for a middle man with these companies that UPS, FEDEX, DHL, and any other company can send things all over the world without the need for a middle man so the age old saying, if it is to good to be true then dont do it…

396. Thank you for posting this. I already signed the “contract” for mine, but I knew it was sketchy, so i kept doing my research. If you are in the Phoenix area, do NOT respond to this e-mail:

402. I am working with a worldwide package forwarding company called EMS, there is lots of information on this company, they service 190 countries. I have been working about 3 weeks now, I receive packages from US online
     companies delivered to my home by UPS,FEDEX and DHL, I am asked to take off labels with my address on them
     and report to EMS by email when I receive packages, they then send me a USPS shipping label with prepaid postage to the Russian Federation. Most of the packages are for ATV’s like winches, they are repeat customer names, so far I have shipped 20 packages to Russia, I am to receive pay 20 business days  after I have taken the parcels to the United States Postal Service, and have set up a paypal account to receive my pay, It’s too early yet to see if I am going to be paid. I still think this is legit, can you advise me as I do not want to be involved in anything Illegal.
     Scared for now?????????

     • How did that go? I am reading this and several other websites claiming this to be a scam but have not found one person that actually followed through with the reshipping long enough to be paid or not paid. I think the real screamers might me the ones who are supposedly getting scared and keeping the merchandise. I have also not read a single post from someone that actually got into trouble.

     • Hey, feel free to try it yourself and see what happens. Package forwarding scam is something that has been covered by the BBB and US Postal office. It doesn’t matter what the name of the company may be, the scam operates in the way described above. But feel free to take the risk and see how it plays out for you. You seem hell bent on it so just give it a shot.

     • This is a real scam scheme, don’t be fooled. I was fooled and fell into trap this website is to open your eyes and to protect you. I was fooled into false employment don’t fool yourself.

     • IT IS A SCAM….It was all over the news here in Oregon. Also my younger sister fell victim to the scam. She shipped over 20 packages and had the same shipping job description as Karen in the comments above you. Same process, Received packages , received shipping labels via email and sent packages to address abroad mostly in the Russian Federation. They told her on the 21st day she would get paid. 3 Days later nothing, and all contact with them had stopped. So to make long story short, if it sound too good to be true. It is.

406. So Eddy, thank you for your advice about the Parcel Forwarding scam (I just received an e-mail and was seriously considering it, but was skeptical).   What about the advertisements that show up at the bottom of your comment. Are we to assume that you’ve checked those out and they are OK?

     Reply

     • You’re welcome. Never assume anything especially when it comes to ads on this site or any other site. Ads are like tv commercials you should treat them with the same skepticism. Online ads like tv commercials are there to pay the bills. This way we can keep our site free and not charge you folks for the work that goes into the articles we provide you. The tv commercials or informercials you see on TV aren’t personally endorsed by the tv network or your favorite show. The same goes here.

       Like I always say in my articles always do your own research when you come upon an opportunity whether it’s recommended by me, another site or an ad you see.

       My personal recommendations are always clear because I tend to write an article about it, provide proof I’ve used a given company or flat out say hey you should try this:
       http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations

       So always keep that in mind when you see ads here or any other sites. Their inclusion isn’t an endorsements. Hope that makes sense.

413. I received a job offer from a company called USFW, LLC about a week ago via email. The mans name in the email is Joseph Patel. I did a reverse phone number search on him and found out the cell phone was from New York. That made me think it was for real so I went ahead and sent a copy of my driver license and social security card. I received a UPS package yesterday which was some supplies that looked like it was for a military serviceman and today I received a, FedEx package containing an ASUS 24″ LCD computer monitor. I am expected to get another FedEX package today. I have yet to hear back from Joseph patel on where to send it to. They are paying me $20 per shipment via paypal. It all really looked legit but now that I’m reading this, I’m really scared that I’ve been had. They have my social security card and driver license. I don’t want to do anything with these packages until I find out for sure. If I don’t find anything out my the end of the day tomorrow, I’m packing these things into my car and delivering them straight to the police station along with every email and phone call correspondence I have had with USFW, LLC and Joseph Patel…now that I think about it, he’s the only one I have spoken to or had ANY correspondence with.

     How can I find out for sure if this is real?

414. Hey,
     Getting scammed is a learning lesson for all of us. And I would say 99.9% of us have been victims. But it’s how you deal with the experience that really shapes you. My negative experience caused me to create my websites and thus help thousands of others make money legitimately and avoid scams. Some others react by become jaded and giving up on the whole industry. Then there are folks like you that chalk it up to experience and keep moving forward. That’s the best thing I think most people should do. The scammers win when people give up or don’t report this stuff.

     In any event, I appreciate that you found enough value in my blog that you shared it with others. You’ve just made the scammers lives a little more difficult and also helped me in the process. So thank you!

415. Unfortunately, I fell into this scam as well. I had just gotten married in March of 2010, then graduated in January  from College with my B.A. (and I am in my late 30’s), moved to Southern California from Central California (where I had lived all my life),  and had been looking for a job diligently on Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com. Sadly, I went on countless interviews and had too many doors slammed in my face. So when these two opportunities came my way, I thought to myself it was better than nothing and at least my rent would be paid, utilities, and student loans would finally be paid and my car wouldn’t become repo’d. SO…

     Two companies (Logistics LLC, and Topgame LTD) claimed they found me on Careerbuilder. They sent me an online application that I was to fill out and send back to them. A week later I received the “contract” in my email that I was to sign and print then scan and send back to them with a copy of my driver’s license. Like every other REAL employer I had worked for in the past, they always asked for a copy of my drivers license so I didn’t think anything of it. SO when they called me (yes, they CALLED ME) I made sure to ask questions. Of course, I didn’t realize that they had lied to me but informed me that packages would be coming to my home, and I was to inform them when they arrived (as well as create an excel spreadsheet of all the packages that came so I could keep track of the packages when matching them with the labels the comapnies emailed to me). Once I informed them, they sent me the labels to my email, I printed them up, attached them to the packages and sent them through the mail. All the while grateful that I had a job  along with email and telephone communication with these people a couple times a week.

     Almost a MONTH later… my husband and I are just waking up from a great night of sleep and we heard banging on our front door. We opened it, and saw a BUNCH of police officers with a search warrant. I had NO idea what was going on, nor  was it explained to me as to why they invaded our home. They detained my husband and I for almost 5 hours for questioning IN OUR PAJAMAS  (we were not booked nor were we arrested). We were released when the police realized we were truly victimized in this. However; they confiscated our computers, external hard drives, flash drives, CELL PHONES, a pair of my boots that I purchased in January as a post-graduation gift for myself, and some random papers.

     That experience has left a very  horrible taste in my mouth (along with the feeling that I Southern California is nothing but DRAMA) and I am more suspicious of EVERYTHING since this has happened to me. It has been 5 weeks since the police incident, and I find that I am still having nightmares about . The first few days after all of this happened, I had constant flashbacks and couldn’t sleep. The only thing I am truly guilty of [in my life] is getting a speeding ticket.

     So, the police still have our things and we are uncertain as to when we will be getting  everything back. I have been MORE than cooperative and friendly to the polce. I gave them everything that I had printed up from the companies along with the phone numbers they called me from, AND I also gave them the purchase receipt for my boots to prove that they ARE MINE. Needless to say, the police said it might take UP TO two months for us to get our things back. SO… we WAIT. In the meantime, I am going back to being a professional photographer and rebuilding my business in this new city.

     In essence, I feel so incredibly stupid that I feel for this and that I did not know about a scam like this. I have made it a point to share my experience with EVERYONE I know so that they are well aware of not falling into this trap.

     • Hi Eddy! I got 2 packages from fake company before I have found and read your site.What should I do?

     • Try some of the things that others have done in the comments listed below. Contact your local police or postal officers. Contact the retailers and see if they have a department that handles stuff like this too.

416. 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??

425. I feel that I am a fool also. I am a man that wants to give all that I can for my family. This means even working 2 full time jobs. I had posted my resume on Career builders and a few weeks later, recieved the email below. I filled out the paperwork and tax forms.About a week later, I started recieving packages that I re-mailed as I was directed. I did what I thought was a good job researching the company, which is Mail Masters. They have a web site, onlinemailmasters I started this the first of June and to date, have sent about 30 packages. I have kept all the shipping info and copies of the pics that I was to take of the goods. I contatcted the company AFTER reading this web site and demanded that they verify themselves..
     I am very, very worried about what Ive done, But I am thinking that I should contact the FBI, postal service, ups, fedex and inform them that Ive been taken. That is what is right. I will take all the packages that I have and give them to the authorites that need them.

     I have searched this site and have not found any thing about this Mail Masters. Has anyone had any dealings with them?
      
     Thank you for your interest in the vacancies advertised by our company. We have received your profile from On Time Staffing and are ready to seriously consider your candidacy. We present you the opportunity to become better acquainted with the detailed job description for this vacancy, as well as about our company’s activities. You may find a link to the company website in the application enclosed to this letter.Mail Masters is an online service, which enables its clients to rent a postal address in the USA, where it is possible to receive correspondence and parcels and also to manage postal deliveries online. Our company’s services are popular with foreign companies that work with American customers, business people who travel frequently, as well as with foreign customers that buy and sell goods in the USA. Over the years, we have expanded the range of the services we provide, from ordinary mail forwarding to include the opportunity to fully monitor and manage your postal deliveries online. Our company’s mission is continuous development. Apart from regularly introducing technological innovations in our work, our company actively employs the principles of remote operations, as this system of organization enables us to reduce warehousing costs and provide a large selection of addresses available in different states. You have the opportunity to become one of our remote employees.

You will also need to print shipping labels, process invoices, and take photos of the contents. We work with the courier services USPS, DHL, UPS, and Fedex. Parcels will be delivered to your home address, so you will need to be at home during business hours, which are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

     • Read the article above and the comments. We’ve already made it clear that any type of package forwarding operating as described above is a scam. It doesn’t matter what they call themselves or if they actually pay you or not. You will eventually get in trouble.

     •  Please do not get scammed and arrested for doing this. Its a scam and the ups security/asset protection will be knocking on your door along with the police. Please go ahead and post the emails they send you (excluding your name) and the email address’s. I know alot of worrying job seekers will google and find out this is a scam.

439. 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.

440. Hi, please avoid WAGNER LOGISTICS, LLC.

     Thank you SOOOOO much for this forum post! It has literally saved me in meer seconds! I found a parcel shipping forward ad on craigslist: WAGNER LOGISTICS, LLC.

     I applied the final job application a few hours ago and even got a phone call from my manager Jeff Schneider. He basically gave me the company policy and so forth. For some reason, it just all seemed “TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.”

     I really think those are the key words you should always have in mind. Nothing too easy is too good of a good thing. Following back to my situation; after coming to this page, I immediately wrote Jeff Schneider an emailing saying I am no longer able to work for him. I got so scared I even told him I was moving to a new home in a few weeks, since he has my home address.

     I just wanted to thank you for having this discussion form. I am SO glad I came upon this early; on the same day I applied for the final job application. It’s still very early before the scam action could take place and I am so glad I figured this out before it was too late.

     For all readers; please be careful and if it seems “too good to be true,” take full awareness and listen to your instict! It’s always better to be safe then sorry.

Bump that ish… I feel stupid but at the same time i’m learning. The Rosie Bobo called me today and told me that everything was fine and even sent me business license of the company. I got it all in my e-mail account.. I dont trust it send me an advancement off top..

     • Theo, At least you’re learning and you won’t fall for a scam like this again.

     • Theo,
       This is 100% a scam. I did it for the whole month and never got paid. They cut off contact with me and now I’m just waiting for the Feds to stop by with a search warrant. I have started to get invoices from credit card companies in the mail for the “customers” I was shipping to. My address and their name. Looks like “UniKey” opened accounts under peoples names using my address.UniKey is not a registered company in UK and the address is in a town called Luton, not even in London. Anyways, stay away from these people.

     • Wow! Just received this same exact email. Except the company was called Mars and Company instead of Unikey. So glad you pasted this. It seemed to good to be true, now i have all the confirmation i need.

444. 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.

     • 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.

450. 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.

     Reply

     • Scammers do this all the time. They reference legit businesses in their emails when contacting you. But the key is to notice what you did which is the from email address or the contact information they use. If they’re part of the legit company they claim to be, their email address and other contact information will reflect that.

       We actually discussed this fake check cashing nonsense here:
       https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/10/16/fake-checks-wire-transfer-scams-fakechecksorg-fights-back/

       Thanks for sharing either way.

     • 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…

     • Thanks for sharing this scam with us. I agree it’s very upsetting to be set up like this. But as long we get the word out it helps others avoid being a victim. So thanks for sharing.

     • 100% scam, Melvin. Unikey is not a company listed in the UK directory of businesses and the address is an address in a town called Luton, not London. 3 weeks into shipping I found this site. I “worked” for them for a month pretty much knowing it wasn’t legit. But it is def not legit.3 weeks into shipping I found this site. Finished the last week to see what happened and did not get paid. Stay away!

454. 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

     • 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.

460. 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.

     • Hi Jim,

       You’re not stupid. It happens to the best of us. My advice is to learn from this mistake and always do your research from now on. I don’t know much about the legality issue. I’m sure you can visit a local postal office and ask questions about how to report fraud or if you’ve been a victim of it.

462. Post the first email he sent you along with the email address. Post any names. I fell for the same thing even the ups security guy showed up. I would gather all the emails and everything and save it just incase anyone comes for you. Do you have the box the psp go came in. It should have the merchant name on it. Call and offer to sent it back, even offer to pay for it if you have to otherwise they can prosecute you for credit card fraud. If you still fell very bad about it I would go to the police and file a report (although I would not tell them you tried to sell it). Refuse any packages that show up and if anything is left at your door mark return to sender and through in the mail box. I sent almost 60 packages in this scam and got in no trouble.

463. Steve at airandsea. I looked up the “company”, it’s called Air Sea International Forwarding. They just sent a PSP GO. Didn’t know what to think at first, i didn’t get my “instruction email” till this morning, though I signed for it yesterday. Haven’t even heard from “Steve” for at least two weeks, so we thought my son’s dad might have sent it. Am I going to go to jail because I signed for the package? Thinking that it was sent by my boys’ father we opened it up and messed with it, tried to sell it at gamestop…what di I do now, call the police on myself? angela0281@sbcglobal.net

464. I got this one today.

     Even though some of these companies show up on the BetterBusinessBureau website and have a legit-looking website, it’s all too good to be true. Do the math. A company offers to pay you $35 per order completed when the actual product may cost about $75 and shipping costs, let’s say, $10–that’s 41% of the total cost of everything that goes to you. How does the company stand to make any money? And why wouldn’t the seller just ship the item directly to the customer? It doesn’t make any sense.

     They offered to pay $2500 – 3500 per month ($35 per complete order) to receive a package, look over it, write a report to the company, and ship it back out to a customer. They claim that all you have to work is 1-2 hours a day, 6-8 hours a week to achieve this salary.
     If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

     They even have a website: http://www.np-comp.com

     And I did check them out on the BBB website, and they are on there, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely legit.

     • 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.

470. 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.

471. Here is one I almost fell for the other day but thanks to this site I didn’t :

     From: gevonuz

     Hello.

     Below you will find the details regarding the position

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

     What do you ship?

     Electronics: laptops, cameras, lenses.

     => What couriers do you work with?

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

     => When will I get my first payment?

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

     => Who pays for the outgoing postage of the packages?

     We provide USPS prepaid shipping labels so you won’t have to pay out of your pocket.

     => Why don’t you ship the packages directly to your clients? Why do you need a middle man?

     Most of our suppliers don’t ship internationally through USPS. We can’t afford shipping via fedex or ups. It’s very expensive.

     => How many units a week would be expected to turn around?

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

     We are going to ship expensive merchandise that’s why we need to double check the candidates.
     In order to start please provide your correct address, contact phone numbers and a scanned copy of your ID or an utility bill for a verification. Then we will ship the first test package to your address.You can send your utility bill to our fax: +1 8002139…

473. Since I’ve been unemployed for almost a year, I’ve been desperate to find work since the area I live in is hurting from this economy–thousands of layoffs…making it hard to find any work in this area, so I’ve been trying to find other alternatives, such as work-from-home, but so far…nothing. So discouraging. I still continue to submit my resume to everyone and anyone who will notice. I suspect this is how I got the following email message the other day:

     “Hi.
     If you’re willing to work for a large logistics company please contact with us via email.
     The average salary will be around $700-$1000 Weekly
     It’s not multi-level marketing, or sales position and fully free for start.
     Thank you,
     Alexey Morozov”

     …Then I replied with;

     “Hello? Okay. I’ll bite. What is this position all about?”

     …For which I received the following reply:

     “Hello!
     Thank you for your reply
     You can find all information about Correspondence Assistant/Representative at our web site http://www.emscomp.com/vacancies/
     If you are interested you can click the application form link at the page “Vacancies” and proceed with registration.
     To apply for Correspondence Assistant/Representative vacancy you should print, sign and send us Employment Agreement that you can find at your control panel after registration.
     You should send Agreement to our fax: 888-371-4467 or scan it and email to your manager: elena.emscomp@gmail.com
     It’s not a sales position and there’re absolutely no start up fees. We would like to point out that this job may become a good additional employment for you. You may have a primary employment or a running business and still cooperate with us because this job will not take a lot of your time.
     Thank you”

     …So I checked out their website, which appears legit, I’m not clear on the name of the biz, accept to say that the site looks like it’s called EXPRESS MAIL SERVICES, but something still made me feel uneasy, so I responded with the following:

     “Hello,
     This opportunity almost sounds too good to be true. In light of the many online job scams in existence, I am requesting your reassurance that this is indeed a legitimate opportunity.
     I have been approached in the past of fraudulent job opportunities and have suffered the outcome of such opportunities. Being that I am currently unemployed and desperate for employment, I am just concerned that I may encounter more hardship as well as heartache should this opportunity result in another failed option on my part.
     I appreciate your cooperation and understanding with regard to my concerns. If I have your assurance that this is indeed legitimate, I will gladly submit my application to work with your organization.
     I will await your prompt reply.
     Thank you!”

     …And the response I received was: “Hello, We can send you our business license if you want.”

     …So I replied with:

     “Hello Elena,
     Thanks for your response and offer. I have decided to apply, however, if you’re offering to forward a copy of the business license, that would certainly enhance my comfort level. If it isn’t too much trouble, please proceed with that information as I equally proceed with my application. Thanks again for offering to calm my nerves!”

     …So she responds back with an attached copy of their business license…but it’s all in Russian…for which I haven’t a clue what it all says and since it’s a .pdf formatted document, I don’t know how to translate that online. She provided the following message in the body of her email:

     “Hello,
     Please write me all questions to my email elena.emscomp@gmail.com
     Also we wait signed agreement and documents from you. Business License attached.
     Elena”

     I admit that I was tempted, but I’ve decided not to proceed with them since my instincts are telling me “Don’t Do IT!!!” …So instead, I will continue to try to find something…somewhere….I just hope I find it before my unemployment runs out!! HELP!!! …If anyone knows of legitimate work from home…and I mean REAL WORK..Not any of the phony stuff–I want to be hired by a company as an employee or a contractor (I’ve been an Adm.Asst/Legal Asst./Dispatcher (All Clerical Work) for over 20 years)….PLEASE..PLEASE…PLEASE…Pass that onto me….PLEASE….. (feel free to message me at: exotiq88@gmail.com) Thanks!!!

474. Hello guys, my name is Mark. Geez it really seems to be nothing ligit these days. I am a student at Cal State Northridge & money is super tight these days. Anyways, to make a short story even shorter I was scammed on a scheme like this recently and unfortunately did not find this sit prior. I was applying for jobs on-line and craigslist when a company called RealEARTH & a rep by the name of Michelle Trans contacted me by email and shared how they were interested in me. ( this was about March 2010. She said they were currently looking for different positions for the company, like; secretaries, administration & people to ship goods for them. & to submit a THIS IS WHAT SWEPT ME OFF MY FEET ABOUT THE WHOLE THING, SINCE THEY WERE NOT SOME PREDATORY COMPANY ASKING for A SPECIFIC POSITION WHICH USUALLY BRINGS UP RED FLAGS FOR ME. So after that email I looked up the the company in google and the first result was a lotion minerals company that specifically shipped orders bulk off of eBay and other representatives, so to me this info concurred with what she said. So after this I said I was interested and she replied back with a small application form that did not ask for anything in depth except my drivers license and address. I faxed the info to her only putting a post-it over the drivers license #. No less than a week later she replies back and says they have shipping positions open with a 100$ commission a package. At this time it sounded to good to be true so I replied and said great, i cant wait! I had a couple questions like how would I be paid because im not gonna ship the orders and expect you to pay me after. She assured me there was a new pre paid payment plan that would be shipped with the package & pre paid shipping. However if you did not ship the package you would be terminated from RealEARTH. As the week went on I hadn’t heard back from her, so I emailed her a couple more times asking the status. The following week she emailed me saying the that orders were not filled that month and even their older agents barely had orders to ship & OCT and NOV contracts were fulfilled and would in fact be shipped. Sure enough Oct came and she emailed me saying that I would receive instructions and packages from there company via fed ex and ups with tracking numbers. ( which also lessened my cautions ) So within 2 days she sends me an email saying there were 2 packages coming within the next couple days and gave me tracking #’s inside the email. The next email she sent the next day said how the packages would have their agents name on them and the person I was shipping the package to and instructions would be attached. I told my mom that I would be getting packages from that company and if i was not home to pick them up off the door step. The next day I was away from the house and my mom called me and said the UPS lady asked her if there was anyone to sign a package for PAMELA KNUCKLES that lived here. My mom said no theres no one by that name here. So my mom called me and said the package had to do with that co and I said yea I know but why was my name not on it and why couldnt they leave it there. Come to find out this co. RealEarth and this lady MICHELLE TRANS emailed the package to my address with a different name, specifically PAMELA KNUCKLES. My mom and I discussed this and how it had to be shady. We pretty much figured it out and now coming on this web site this shipping forwarding scam and the details just confirm what we thought. I dont know how the scammers expect these victims to sign their name for a package for a name that does not belong to anyone in the house OR if they are banking on fed ex and UPS to leave the package with no sig. Anyways, im glad that I avoided shipping the packages but humbly wish I would have done more research. and avoided the whole situation. hopefully this comment on this blog will help and assist the next person being sucked into this scam plot.

475. @Eddy Salomon:

     Desperation is an incredibly powerful emotion. Anyone can succumb to it, including the most strong willed people, especially if the right circumstances are added (i.e. the economic turn down). I can’t believe that I succumbed to my desperation. I don’t normally do that either. I guess that I was just so desperate for a job to help out my family, that I didn’t think about what I was getting into.

     To follow up on what happened afterward, I received some collection notices from one of the merchants. I explained the whole story to them. I also provided the evidence too. The merchant spared me. I was incredibly lucky because they didn’t have to let me go at all. Then, the merchant attempted to locate the responsible individual. I am hoping that they do manage to find and catch the crook. I am glad that I didn’t get arrested and I was not paid at all. After all, the checks would have worked against me. I learned my lesson, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

     It is just awful that these criminals would prey on unsuspecting people.

     Reply

     • Rose,
       I totally hear you about desperation. It’s an emotion that can lead us on some rocky roads. Fortunately despite going through that path you were able to come out the other side unscathed. Just use this experience as a lesson. You’re absolutely right if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. Common sense goes a long way here too. If you just start reading these scams out loud and discussing them with a friend, it becomes abundantly clear that the so called job doesn’t make any “cents”, literally.

       At least now you’ll look at these opportunities with more of a skeptical eye. As always just do your research which we’ve made super easy with our scam video:

     • Did you read the article above? These aren’t legitimate jobs. It doesn’t matter how they “package” this stuff, it’s a scam.

     • 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!!!!

     • At least you did your research. Too often most people don’t. So applaud you.

477. 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.

478. Thank you Eddy for helping so many people, and thanks for sharing your story Jon. I was just looking into this also. I didn’t realize the implications of there being two victims. They are asking me for a scanned ID or Utility bill as proof of address. I asked them to send me their company name and to use their company email address. I also asked if there was going to be any cell phones being shipped. Until I read your story, I might have fell for this scam if they providied a legit company and email. I googled Melissa brown at yahoo email and this website came up thank god. Here is the email I was sent from them when I answered their email about the employment position.

     Hello.

     Below you will find the details regarding the position

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

     What do you ship?

     Electronics: laptops, cameras, lenses.

     => What couriers do you work with?

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

     => When will I get my first payment?

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

     => Who pays for the outgoing postage of the packages?

     We provide USPS prepaid shipping labels so you won’t have to pay out of your pocket.

     => Why don’t you ship the packages directly to your clients? Why do you need a middle man?

     Most of our suppliers don’t ship internationally through USPS. We can’t afford shipping via fedex or ups. It’s very expensive.

     => How many units a week would be expected to turn around?

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

     We are going to ship expensive merchandise that’s why we need to double check the candidates.
     In order to start please provide your correct address, contact phone numbers and a scanned copy of your ID or an utility bill for a verification. Then we will ship the first test package to your address.You can send your utility bill to our fax: +1 8002139976

     If you are interested in the position please contact your manager and send all the details for the position to Melissa Bowman at melbwn@yahoo.com

     I wonder if this fax number can be back checked to identify their location: fax: +1 8002139976

     Thanks for looking out.

     Rick

479. I almost got scammed with the “package and mail forwarding scam”
     which I had not heard about.
     I tried to look up the company
     “TransM Inc.”
     I could not find anything. It looked legit but for a company that was formed in 2005,
     “It did not have any advertising anywhere” and
     I could not find it on Google.
     then I did a look up on the domain name
     “transminc.com”
     Funny, a large international affiliate of DHL, founded in 2005 but did not get their domain name until
     “last month”
     I filled out all the stuff, I hope I did not give them any important information.
     I should have checked them out earlier.

     • Richard,
       Chalk this up to a lesson learned. At the end of the day you started asking the right questions and doing the right research. Now you know to always do your research beforehand and dig deeper. I also applaud you for using common sense like figuring out why a company that’s been around since 2005 just got their domain name last month. That’s the type of critical thinking you must do with these opportunities. Consider them guilty until proven innocent. In any event, I would like to guide you to the following page for your job search needs:
       http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs we pre-screen to the best of our ability the jobs listed there. They’re updated daily. So if you visit it regularly you should eventually be able to land a legit job. You may also want to check out my recommendations page:

     • No, Don’t let desperation cloud your judgement. Package forward/reshipping is a scam, end of story. You can find legitimate jobs here: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs Good luck.

481. @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.

488. 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.

489. I applied for one of these jobs and shipped two packages so far. They just sent me a third package and I want to know what sort of steps to take from here. I opened this one and the packing label had my name as the person who ordered it. These replies have me worried that I might be in trouble. I don’t have a copy of the ad, but here is the acceptance letter from them.

     Dear Vernon

     Thank you for your interest in currently advertised job opening.
     I would like you read the following job description carefully, just to get an
     idea of this job opportunity.

     First of all – this is not a Mystery shopping job.
     You will be receiving deliveries from online stores, purchased by our
     shoppers. There are some cosmetics, luxury goods, consumer electronics,
     clothes, etc. Then you will be provided with prepaid labels and instructions for
     shipping.

     You will not be involved in any of the things which you would like to avoid:
     filling out any kind of labels and invoices. All paperwork you’ll get from us
     is completely pre-filled and pre-paid. That’s why you need a printer –
     to print the labels. All you will have to do is to mail merchandise directly
     to our clients using our pre-paid and pre-filled postal labels.
     Just labeling and mailing. No hidden fees, no money out of your pocket.

     The main term of this job is ability to accept deliveries during the day.

     About salary: we pay $35.00/each received and reshipped box, salaries are paid
     on a monthly basis. For example, if you first package will be shipped
     off August 25, first salary will be paid by September 25 accordingly.
     In present time we send payment through PayPal or by paycheck, it’s up to you.

     Dear Vernon, if everything is clear and you are ready to give it a try, please
     let me know. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

     Thank you for your time, your response would be eagerly awaited by us.

     Have a nice day!
     Alex Rolton

     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.

     => Who pays for the outgoing postage of the packages?

     We provide prepaid shipping labels so you won’t have to pay for the postage.

     => Why don’t you ship the packages directly to your clients? Why do you need a middle man?

     Most of suppliers don’t ship internationally through USPS. We can’t afford shipping via fedex or ups. It’s very expensive.

     => How many units a week would be expected to turn around?

     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.
     In order to start please provide your correct adress, contact phone numbers and a scanned copy of your ID or an utility bill for a verification. Then we will ship the first test package to your adress.You can send your utility bill to our fax: +1 8002139976

     STAY AWAY FROM THESE PPL!

495. I did fall for this scam and actually waiting to get another two packages from the recruiter Michelle Tran who claims to be working for Real Earth LLC. I have not mailed anything yet but waiting for the details soon as all packages get to me. I have reported this to the FBI and hopefully they will take action if any.

     My advise to other victims or soon to be victims, avoid any work at home or any funky looking emails from Craigslist or any other search engines or social networking sites as shown below. FYI, the position was for a Project Manager……keep an eye out for this nonsense. BTW, other emails are coming to you from your actual friends but through hackers…..be very aware.

     Dear XXXXX,

     We are so sorry for taking us so long to reply to You, that was caused by the big number
     of the resumes we received. We have looked through Your resume and we are glad to let

     If you are still interested in this position please find and carefully read

       Thanks for sharing this. I totally agree with you.

498. We have to think people. Why would people be paying us for something they can do on their own? Secondly, why would someone ship items that people purchase to our homes if we haven’t even met them before.

     Reply

     • Jetaime,
       I hear what you’re saying I think desperation leads people to ignore the voices and instincts they usually have in the offline world. Sometimes people just need to picture these jobs in real world situations where they imagine the person face to face explaining this opportunity. Because when you do, most of the times you would have walked away from these too good to be true offers.

       So I agree people just need to follow more of the common sense they use off-line. But I think it’s hard when you’re desperation is clouding your judgement.

499. I saw this message on Freelancer.com the other week and thought I would check it out.

     4) You need to be able to dedicate at least 5 hours per week for this business.
     5) You MUST have at least email and cell phone for communication. Better if you are able to check your email 3-4 times per day, and always available over your cell phone.
     6) You must be smart, responsible, motivated person, eager to work in the international team and develop one common business.

     What are the benefits of this business opportunity:

     – You do NOT need to invest even a cent.

     – You have opportunity to become the one and only from your state in this business and own a great share of profit.

     1) Full Name
     2) State/City
     3) Age
     4) Education
     5) Current Job/Business
     6) How many hours per week you are able to dedicate to this business

     I will provide you with the details of this business partnership, and further plan on how to start working.

     I responded to it with my email address and some other basic information but it seemed rather fishy, I hadn’t really thought about it too much until I got this email:

     Thank you for the details. Please save my contact details:

     Vadim Chernous,
     8 Pyatyorkina st.
     Lugansk, 83001
     Ukraine.
     Cell phone number: +380974170968 (call/sms)
     lambenham@aol.com

     As for me, I am 32 years old, married, have two daughters. I have a Master’s Degree in Management, have been working for 7 years for a large company but now I am willing to set up my own small business to dedicate more time to my children and to be able to earn more. I like spending time outdoors, BBQ, Camping, Bowling, Soccer.

     I want to thank you for joining my team. We already have the clients who want to order the stuff from the USA, so I provided them with necessary details. You may be asking what kind of stuff is it. Well, the stuff is kids clothes, adult clothes, fashion designer clothes, shoes, toys, beauty accessories, decorative cosmetics, gadgets.

     Now, I will describe you the working process so that you could understand what kind of the work is waiting for you. I promote this service here on local forums, web boards, classified ads websites. People get interested, find out the details and become our clients. A client is requesting the shipping address in the USA and starts shopping using his/her debit card and your shipping address. If a client is not experienced internet shopper, I do the shopping process for him. Some US shops require the billing name and shipping name to be the same, so I will ask the clients to put your name as a billing name there (debit cards in our country are not attached to some definite names and addresses as in the USA and can be used with any). So that is why when you receive a package it can be in your name, or there can be some random first name but the last name will be yours or even both names will be random – anyway the signature will not be required as most packages are delivered with UPS and Fedex and do not require any signature. So you should accept all the packages coming to your address. The names will be different because most shops provide special discounts (10%-30% off) for the new customers or for the next (second) order. In order to become a new customer there should be new name and new email address, so that’s the point.

     After a customer placed his order, he provides me with the order details for tracking. Once per day I will be sending a list of tracking numbers to you, so you will be tacking the delivery of packages and will be aware of the packages which should come on the definite day.

     When you receive a package you should open it, place all items from the package on some table (or whatever else) and take a picture of the contents. One picture for one package. Picture file name must be saved as the store name from which this package came.

     Every day after receiving the packages (if there were any) you should create report file (Excel or Google Documents online) with the following column headers:

     – Item Code (you will see it on the item tag)
     – Item Description (you will see it on the item tag or invoice)
     – Quantity
     – Price (see tag or invoice)
     – Store (you will always see the store name on the delivered box and invoice)

     You should fill in the details for all received items, and include the tracking numbers of the delivered packages in which these items were. So every day when you get the packages from the stores you should send me the pictures of all packages’ contents and the report file. After receiving the report and pictures from you I get prepayment from the clients for our services and shipping. Packaging materials (boxes) should be thrown to trash (we’ll not need them).

     As I get prepayment from the clients, I send your profit share through Paypal and the USPS shipping label when it is time to ship out a great package to Ukraine. When you have the items for total over 20 lbs you’ll need to pack them in one single box (or couple of boxes if the total weight is over 40 lbs) and ship it to Ukraine. I will give you detailed instructions concerning the packaging and shipping as we need to be smart to save on shipping and to avoid any customs taxes which can incur here when receiving the package.

     Please let me know all the questions you may have after having read this. I should make everything as clear and easy for you as possible, this way we will save much time and reach top quality service results. Please let me know if you have a camera and scales.

     Looking forward to hearing from you,

     Kind Regards,
     Vadim.

     Now I am almost 100 % sure this is a scam. The same offer is posted on almost every freelancing website that I can find on the web. I sent and email back saying that I did not want to take advantage of this opportunity. Not sure what else I can do but give off this warning. But there is absolutely not logically economic incentive for anyone to pay this much for package reshipping.

501. I have also fallen victim to this scam. I feel so stupid! I thought I was being soo smart, I did not give them my real name, because I was afraid of them stealing my identity, but instead they were stealing someone elses!!! I am so angry! But the worst part about it, is I still have the Toshiba netbook that they shipped me!! What should I do?? Take it to the police right?? Is there a website that I can report it to? Please help!!!!

     Reply

502. I wish I had found your website sooner. I can’t believe that I was naive enough to fall for this! I feel incredibly guilty for being involved in it.

     At first I found an ad on snagajob.com with Parcel2Go. It was about reshipping too. Parcel2Go is a legitimate company, however the scammer used this company to cover up. Her email was . I unknowingly sent out nine packages for about three weeks. After the nineth item, they disappeared completely. I was cheated out of doing free labor. I was lucky because it did not last so long for the police to come over. Thank goodness they did not pay me or else those checks would have worked against me.

     Unfortunately, I fell for the scam again. The scammer goes by the name of Alex Rolton. He has 2 websites, http://www.bestshoppingdirectories.com and http://www.1-stop-shopper.com. One of his emails is . I accepted the “Best Shopping Directories”. I thought I could be forgiving and give this kind of thing a second chance, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t find your website until after I took this. Now I have one of the packages at my house. Another one will be arriving soon. When the UPS arrives, I will tell them to take both of the packages back. I’m just hoping that this does not get the authorities involved as I tell the UPS about the packages being scams or get any worse.

     There is also another scam that almost got me. It was by Mark James at . It involves cashing bank checks. However, I declined at the last and right moment.
     He wrote:
     Hello,
     Good to hear from you. Well, I am in need of a part time personal assistant who will work from home as my rep, your primary duty will be monitoring of orders and payments made by our clients within the United States.
     All you need is to have internet access and a telephone so I’ll be able to give you instructions on how to carry out your duties, accounting functions. You will be earning an annual payment of $24,000 which means you will paid $2000 monthly, I think the salary is fair enough, you are entitled to bonuses too.
     Will you be able to work for me diligently as my rep? The major reason why I need someone to work for me as my rep is that I am presently in the UK and I need someone to work for me for effective service and good customer relationship.

     I look forward to hearing from you.

     Reply

504. Good article. I will add that another victim other than the shipper and cardholder are the merchants in some of these scams. Unfortunately, I recently learned about this the hard way recently shortly after branching out to my own computer hardware website after selling on ebay for a little over a year. I sent a $300.00 netbook to an Address in SanFransisco. As it was one of my first independent sales, I was happy as a clam. Well, a month later the “real” cardholder discovered it and reversed the charges. Not only was I out the computer and original shipping, my merchant processor charged me the standard $80.00 chargeback fee.

     While it was an expensive lesson, I have since educated myself as to how to detect and prevent this type of fraud. Had I known what I know know, I would have been able to recognize this because the ip address didn’t match the location and that the address in SF was a hotel.

     I have since detected and declined about 4 likely fraudulent transactions. Most recently, I received an order with a Minnesota billing and shipping address which originated in Ghana. The item? The same exact same make and model netbook that I was conned out of the last time.

     Thanks, because you helped put together the final piece of the puzzle on my end, because I wondered how they re-routed the package to complete the fraud. As a “little guy” in the business simply supplimenting my teaching salary, getting hit like this hurts! At least it wasn’t for a MacBook!

     Anyway, great piece

     • Jetaime,
       As I said many times in the past, these con artist will reference legitimate companies names usually ones that will check out when you do the research. But then they’ll email you from a free email account (like yahoo, gmail, etc). However when you call the company using the contact information on the website they claim they work with and not from the email address the scam artist provided you, they’ll tell you we don’t offer this type of position and it’s a scam. They can say it was from the government for all I care. Once you hear about shipping stuff and cashing checks or wiring money, it doesn’t matter what they say or produce, it’s the scam described in the article above and what everyone else has posted here. There isn’t much more to it so stop trying to justify it in your mind. There is absolutely no reason to take such a risk when this site already provides you legitimate job leads.

       Don’t let desperation misguide you folks. But feel free to ignore this advice and keep working with these companies and see what happens.

     • G, Thanks for sharing this scam with others. It should help many more people avoid it.

516. yes contact the police department and just hand over the packages that you have. i wouldnt mention that you mailed any out to them; unless of course they ask. but seldom do i see people held responsible. i sent out more than you and everything is fine and that was like 2 years ago. if you post the “companies” email here than that will help others find this site. please post the emails to keep others from falling into this scheme. wonderful site by the way. congrats on making it.

     • Hi Mike,
       I was wondering if the Secret Service came to your house or anything like that? I just had them come to my house as i was also shipping out packages, but had no idea that it was stolen property. I am completely terrified right now as I don’t want to lose my kids and everything over this. I am so ashamed of myself for being so stupid!

517. 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.

518. 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

     • Hey David,

       I’m glad you found the site. I would say just read my previous comments above in terms of your next steps.

519. @Monica:
     Hey Monica… I was also contacted by the same company.. and was wondering how did things go?

     Reply

520. 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

     Reply

521. 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.

     • Hi Monica,

       Sorry to hear you were a victim as well. I wish you would have found this site sooner. But as you can see scammers go to great lengths to trick people. As you can see they will reference
       legitimate companies names, websites, etc to get you off the right track when doing research. But even with that if folks had stumbled upon this article previously you would be able to tell this is a scam once the job was explained. So be sure to read the other scams we’ve listed here:
       http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams because they all tend to repeat themselves. They may change the bells and whistles but the concepts are usually the same. I hope everything works out for you.

       In the mean time you can find legitimate job leads here:
       http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs

       You can also find my personal recommendations here:

       Either way, don’t let this experience bring you down. You have options and now you have found a resource that will help you avoid scams and find real ways to make money.
       So everything happens for a reason. Good luck.

522. Honestly, I wouldn’t risk continuing to work with this company. Not knowing either way is enough for me to avoid it. But that’s ultimately up to you. We provide enough legitimate job leads here:
     http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs that you could probably find something else.

     We also have my trusted and researched opportunities here: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations

523. 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.

     4-10 packages handled weekly in average.

     Mostly all packages are not big and will not require any special storage place.

     To avoid any illegal issues or activities all the packages are being shipped/re-shipped by the big services like FedEx, UPS and DHL who have the strongest security systems nowadays. You can also inspect the contents of packages before re-shipping it to our customer.

     We would be glad and ready to get started with the application process with you if you match our requirements.

     • Kenny & Everyone else,

       Let me make this abundantly clear, package forwarding as described above or closely resembling it is a scam. Sometimes the scam artist will actually pay you because they know they can sell the stolen merchandise once they receive it from you the victim. So with that mind, it’s not legit regardless if you get paid or not. Just because you rob a bank and get money doesn’t mean it’s legitimate opportunity because you made money. Keep that in mind. There is no reason for anyone one to entertain any of these so called opportunities when we list plenty of legitimate ways to make money here:

       So don’t let desperation lead you to making some bad decisions that you’ll regret later. You’ve been warned. If you don’t believe me, maybe a local visit from the feds will convince you.

530. @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.

531. Here is another one. Quick web search did not find anything about the particular email address and company name here, but I am sure this is not legit. Not going to waste my time doing my research, just a warning to others.

As the result thousands of customers in Russia and some European countries are not able to access the large market and purchase high-quality merchandise at so low prices. Our company provides Russian and European customers with United States, Belgium, Denmark and Netherlands street addresses that can be used as the shipping addresses. Then our merchandise managers forward the packages to the country where the customer is located. It is the same if they had relatives or friends in the United States, Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark and could ask them about such service. That is why we need in your parcels forwarding service.

     How the payment works?

535. 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.

     • You’re welcome Teri.
       Thanks for sharing this with us. Keep in mind there are many scammers repeating the same scam, they just update their names and ads. But it’s always the same. It’s just a matter of looking past the fluff and it’s very easy to spot this stuff as you did. So great job.

536. Thanks for all the information you’ve supplied.

     In response to submitting my resume, I received an email from Michelle Tran of Real Earth LL, supposedly repackaging electronics. When I googled the company, it did exist, but it sells skin products, not electronics. Then I was led your website and saw the posting from Jim in January. He posted exactly the same email that I received back with an email address from earthdomme_llc@gmx.com. Gmx is a free email system. Again, thanks for all your postings and for helping prevent me from diving into an obvious scam.

538. While you have to be aware of these types of scams not all forwarders are part of scams.
     I run a small package forwarding company and forward packages to my clients overseas.

     There are people who would like to purchase items on ebay and from US stores who do not send overseas.
     I perform a service for these people.

     That is not to say I do not get asked every day to ship items to US addresses. When ever this request comes up the answer is no. The other red flag for me is someone who orders very expensive items and then wants them shipped with the fastest shipping possible. Normally the people who are for real are looking for the cheapest way to get the items to themselves. The times I have seen this have always been a scam and when these flags pop up I start calling the stores to see if the sale was legit. If it is not the merchandise goes back to the seller. The customer account is closed and we no longer accept any items to that person. In fact all items coming in with their information is refused and sent back.

     I have had the local police and the FBI and the Secret Service here and have had to explain that there are legitimate business in the us that do forward packages overseas.

I gave him my name and the number of the FBI building that I work at in San Diego. I ve already alerted them and every call made there gets recorded regardless of them dialing an extension.

     Thanks for indicating your interest in the job. I wish I could meet up with you to talk about this job in person but I am currently away on business, I am in Bahrain. I should probably tell you more about the job. This job is flexible so you can do it wherever you are provided that there is a post office in the area. You can do all the tasks during your spare time outside of work or school. I will prepay you in advance to do my shopping and have my mails/packages forwarded to your address. If you will be unable to stay at home to get the mails, I can have them shipped to a post office near you and then you can pick them up at your convenience.

     All errands will be in your city/town so It is not a must that you have a car for the job, you can go places by bus or taxi.. When you get my mails/packages; you are required to mail them to where I want them mailed to. You won’t have to put money out of your pocket, all you have to do is have mails/packages shipped to your house and do my shopping. You are allowed to open the packages to reveal the content. The content of the packages will be business and personal mails. All expenses and taxes will be covered by me. You will work between 15 and 20hrs a month..

     How much will you charge per week? I will pay $300 weekly. That is not a bad offer is it? I need your service because I am constantly out of town. I am an independent contractor. I will get back in town in April so this process will be on going till then. If you don’t mind, I will meet up with you when I return and then we can talk about the possibility of making this long term. Well, let me know if you are able to handle the position.
     Thanks for your time!

541. Hi, please avoid WAGNER LOGISTICS, LLC.

     Thank you SOOOOO much for this forum post! It has literally saved me in meer seconds! I found a parcel shipping forward ad on craigslist: WAGNER LOGISTICS, LLC.

     I applied the final job application a few hours ago and even got a phone call from my manager Jeff Schneider. He basically gave me the company policy and so forth. For some reason, it just all seemed “TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.”

     I really think those are the key words you should always have in mind. Nothing too easy is too good of a good thing. Following back to my situation; after coming to this page, I immediately wrote Jeff Schneider an emailing saying I am no longer able to work for him. I got so scared I even told him I was moving to a new home in a few weeks, since he has my home address.

     I just wanted to thank you for having this discussion form. I am SO glad I came upon this early; on the same day I applied for the final job application. It’s still very early before the scam action could take place and I am so glad I figured this out before it was too late.

     For all readers; please be careful and if it seems “too good to be true,” take full awareness and listen to your instict! It’s always better to be safe then sorry.

     • Ash,

       Thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us. You’ve probably just helped countless people avoid this scam, assuming they followed your lead and did their research.
       You’ve hit it on the head. If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. God gave us instincts for a reason and if people follow them you tend to avoid a lot of this garbage. It’s only when we ignore these instincts that we find ourselves in trouble. So kudos to you and thanks for sharing! Be sure you check out the rest of my site for other scams and legitimate ways of making money at home. There is a wealth of information here if you’re willing to read. Sounds like you are, so I wish you the best!

542. Eddy,
     I just read some more posts on this page and I think I know what your advice will be and that is to stop corresponding with the scammer. Anyway, I hope my post helps others avoid this one. Also, I have to give credit to my mom, she found your site during a google search. Thanks to her and to you I avoided getting involved anymore than I did. Thanks for your site and keep up the good work.

543. 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.

546. hi guys.. than you for this page its so informative.. ive found a post in craiglist..ive emailed the employer and she told me im accpeted for the postion. Her name is Susan Adams. We;ve never met in person, she said shes out of state but told me that i can start working for her tomorrow, Monday. She is asking me to make a FED EX account and a UPS account for future package deliveries. She’s also asking me to post job ads in craiglist for her. Ive done the posting of job ads but Im feeling guilty that If this is a scam, Im only helping her to look for more victims. She said I only have to work at home for her at print and scan stuffs and mail it to certain persons and do some deliveries. DO you guys think this is a scam?

     Reply

     • Kel,

       What does your gut tell you? If you follow it most of the time it can’t go wrong. But why would a legitimate company need you to create a fedex account. I have my own company and I created my own account. I didn’t need my employees to create one. Read the scam I described above again. Read the comments as well. Sounds all very familiar if you ask me. As always

547. In my entire life, I have never stolen anything. However December 15, 2009, I fell prey to the sending packages scheme. Last week, fifteen police officers came to my house with a search warrant, and searched my house, because I had received stolen products shipped from amazon, best buy, etc. The police officer confiscated my computer and correspondence from this bogus company. Bogus company, formerly Carol Pady is now operating as USA Forwarding. Supposedly, USA Forwarding has hijacked a legitamate website, and their listings with the Better Business Bureau and Chamber of Commerce are either hijacked or bogus. The address of bogus company or hijacked company is;

     USA Forwarding
     2275 Michael Faraday Drive
     San Diego, CA 92154

     USA Forwarding
     9295 Siempre Viva Rd #8 or H
     San Diego, CA 92154
     ph. 1-800-841-6690

     The owner of the bogus company is Fidel Gutierrez. The bogus manager of the shipping department is Michael Cray.

       As you guessed it, they’re all just variations of the package forwarding or check cashing/money wiring scam we covered above and in our scam page:

       I see these emails every day.

       Just continue to delete these emails. Real jobs can always be found on the following pages:

551. I too have fallen victim to the package scam. I was offered a position by the Alliant Trust Co.Inc. I was contacted by a man named Donald Robinson if that was his real name. They offered me a position as an Quality Assurance Operator at $40.00 per hour. I cannot believe how stupid and how gullible I am to believe and do such a stupid thing. My wife told me that it was a scam but I wanted to believe the best because we needed some x-tra cash. And if anyone should have suspected it as a scam, it should have been me, I am a Chaplain in a Correctional Center. I deal with scam artists all the time but this takes the cake. At present, it has not cost me anything. I received and shipped out 5 packages. They initially sent me a small kodak camera in order for me to take pictures of the contents of future packages. I was to remove the contents, take pictures of it and email it to Donald Robinson and also send him the information about the contents and remove only the invoice from the package. Please everyone be aware of this scam. I am so shook up over this, I do not know what to do. I have not heard from the police or fbi nor have I been paid by this phony company that offered me the 40.00per hr. If any readers out there has any information as to what you think I ought to do please contact me. Thanks. I hope what I have shared helps someone before it is too late.

     • Robbie,

       Sorry to hear you fell for this. Don’t feel bad, you’re not alone. We’ve all been victims of scam artist. Learn from the mistake and just move on. Desperation leads us to doing a lot of things we don’t usually do. My recommendation is to head to my scam page and study it like a test to avoid future scams: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams

       Next just contact the post office or any mailing service to determine what the procedures are. They’re all aware of this scam. They don’t really want you the victim, they want the con artist.

552. What happens if you dont send the packages? will you still be contacted by the fbi or the police? can you still face charges? I would think that the scam is in sending the packages. If the packages arent sent out then they cant be traced back to you i.e you should be clear of all fraudulent activity. Could you let me know if im right or not?

     • The best thing to do is contact your local post office for advice. They are aware of this scam and will be able to help you.

553. Just contact your local post office and ask them for advice. They’re aware of this scam and can probably help you.

555. 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?

556. 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

557. 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!!.

     Reply

     • Will,

       Thanks for contacting me. Was this email unsolicited? I automatically delete job offer emails especially if the job offer doesn’t reflect any skills I have posted on my resume. So that’s one strike. Most of the scam artist use legitimate job sites like yahoo to search for resumes so they can spam people with their fake job offers.

       That being said, I did my usually research by following the steps in my scam video: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams and I really couldn’t find anything about this company. There is usually feedback one way or another. So the fact there isn’t heightens my suspicions. But ultimately I don’t have any conclusive proof it is a scam or that it is legitimate. As such I would avoid it. Desperation will often lead us to a path that may cause us more harm. So as much as I know you could use the money, I just wouldn’t want to chance it if I were in your situation. You might want to head to your local post office and ask them what they think of this company and the job they’re asking you to do. They may be able to refer you to their postal investigator offices where you can get more information.

       I hope this helps either way. Just keep in mind we list new jobs every Friday here:

558. 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.

     Reply

     • Hey Jake,

       Thanks for sharing. The best way to mess with them is to spread their business so people can learn about their scam. So if you want to post the job description here so others can be warned about it, that would be a good start.

559. 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?

     Reply

     • Danny,

       You may want to contact the post office where you’ve already mailed some of these packages. They have people that deal with fraud and can help you with this. Most of the mail services are aware of these type of scams.

     • Hi Mike,

       There isn’t much to know. A lot of times these scam artist will even use the name and address of a real legitimate company. But the fact of the matter is that the job description is exactly like the scam we warned about in the article. My suggestion is to delete this email and avoid such nonsense.
       We have real companies listed on our companies page:
       http://www.workathomenoscams.com/companies and list new jobs on this site every Friday:

       Take care.

562. Thank you Eddy.

     What can I do to prevent any action against me?

     Is there any web page to report this kind of scams?

     Any web page?

     • You may want to visit the USPS office in your area to determine how you would report this stuff. I’m sure they have procedures in place. Because
       trust me if you’ve already shipped something, they will be coming to you. Fortunately they are aware of these scams.
       But it’s better if you come to them first and just come clean about how you had no idea what was going on.

563. 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.

       You’ve read the article above. This is a scam. If I were you I would stop immediately. They’re probably paying you with stolen money and guess who’s going to end up paying for it.
       It’s going to be you. Don’t be fooled.

     • Thanks for reporting this! Hopefully more people will avoid it. Scammers are making it a habit of using legitimate company’s brand and contact information to lure
       you into a sense of security. But it’s always easy to tell they’re not the real thing when the so-called job is revealed and it sounds like the scams we’ve covered. So great use
       of common sense and research.

565. I recently fell into this scam. Its been a huge pain. I unfortunately forwarded 2 packages. All the other packages the merchants gladly took back (even paid shipping). 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 🙂

     • Hey David,

       I’m sorry to hear that you fell for this scam. I wish you would have found us sooner. In terms of being responsible I can’t see I would know. But I would imagine since they can’t track down the scammers they have no choice but to come after you. That’s pretty much why the scammers do this. You might want to speak to a lawyer to know for sure.
       I hope this helps.

566. Oh my goodness. I received the exact same e-mail as Betsy posted above, only it was from a Jason. Thanks so much for this post. I’ve come across some scams on craiglist before, including one where the “recruiter” responded by sending a link where I was supposed to get my “free” credit score report before getting hired in order to save time. That one I could recognize as a scam from the get. But the reshipping one, it almost, just almost got me.
     First e-mail he responded from was jason.lee2221@yahoo.com (that’s the one that was listed on craiglist), but when he did respond on that one, there were instructions to respond STRICTLY to jason.lee222@yahoo.com.
     I don’t get what’s up with the two addresses, but what can I except from scum? Is there a way that these e-mail addresses could be reported and tracked to catch who is behind all this annoying/frustrating foolishness?

567. Thanks Eddy. You’ve lead me to your post about the paid to try offers once before. I just hadn’t found it before the damage was done. It would pay for me to review it again. It seems to me it’s easy to be overloaded with information whether you’re a newbie or experienced. I found the IC3.gov site while doing a scams search and landed on consumerfraudreporting.org. I thank you again for all your help and information. If I keep working at it I’ll be “up to speed” some day so to speak. I wish Eddy, his family and everyone here a blessed Independence Day weekend a little early. I’ve been blessed in being able to attend a summer family Bible conference in Colorado this week and I don’t have a laptop so I will miss hearing from all you fine folks. Have a blessed day.

     • Hey Bruce,

       Sorry for the repeat. lol I will make it a point to link to that post on the fusion cash page so it helps people avoid the pitfalls that get paid offers can have sometimes.
       I hear you about the information overload. I try to do my best to organize it which lead to my work at home guide: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/workathomeguide but truth be told there is just a wealth of information out there. At the end of the day I think the most important is how to avoid scams.

       In any event, I wish you and your family a great week and independence weekend as well. Have a great time at the conference. I hear Colorado is beautiful place. How blessed are you to be visiting such a wonderful place while meeting on the Lord’s word and favor. Sounds like it’s going to be a great time. Take care and thanks for your continued insight on this blog. I really appreciate it.

568. Carlos, I’ve used the IC3 website several times reporting various lottery scams, supposed emails from the FBI, etc. (Give thanks to Eddy’s info on searching out scams). If I remember correctly if you work your way through the process you will find a message box where you can describe what happened. (That’s where I pasted copies of the scam emails.) There will be another box to enter any others who might know about the scam as well as a place to list any official agencies you’ve contacted. You and very scared be strong in the faith my friends. (Note be wary of the free offers on FusionCash)

     • Hey Bruce,
       Thanks for filling in the blanks for Carlos. I wasn’t even aware of that IC3 site until Carlos mentioned it. Its great we can share information with each other like this. I appreciate it.
       In terms of doing offers on fusion cash or any get to try offer sites, I would encourage people to read the following article: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/05/07/getpaidtotryoffers/ I’ll be the first to admit get paid to try offer sites can lose you money or send you a lot of spam. But there are easy ways to get around that stuff so you do make money. I know because i’ve made money with these sites but it’s because I applied the tips listed in the article above. So I would encourage people to read it if you plan to venture into that work at home opportunity.

     Hello xxx,

     Where are you located? I would love to meet up with you to talk about this job but I am currently away on business. I am in Australia so there will be no interview. I will prepay you in advance to do my shopping. I will also have my mails and packages forwarded to your address. If you will be unable to stay at your house to get my mails, I can have it shipped to a post office near you and then you can pick it up at your convenience. When you get my mails/packages, you are required to mail them to where I want them mailed to. You don’t have to put money out of your pocket, all you have to do is have packages shipped to your house and do my shopping. You are allowed to open the packages to reveal its content. The content of the packages are computer and electronics, clothing’s, business and personal letters. All expenses and taxes will be covered by me. You will work between 15 and 20hrs a month. How much will you charge per every package you receive? I will pay you $300.00. That is not a bad offer is it? I need your service because I am constantly out of town.

     I work in real estate and I own an Art Gallery in Australia. I will return to USA in August so this process will be on going till then. If you don’t mind, I will meet up with you when I return and then we can talk about the possibility of making this long term. Well, let me know if you are able to handle the position. I will email you the list and pictures of what to shop for when I am ready. No heavy packages are involved! You can do the shopping at any nearest stores. You will be shopping for Mails, Electronics and clothings. I will provide you my personal UPS account number for Shipping. All you have to do is provide my account number to UPS and shipping charges will be applied into the account. I will provide clear set of instructions for each task I need done as well the funds to cover them. If I were to mail you money to do my shopping plus upfront payment for your service, where would you want it mailed to? How should your name appear on the money? Maybe you can provide me with the following details below:-

     FULL NAME:
     ADDRESS:

570. Eddy,
     I was involved in this scam I have couple of electronics at home, I went to my local police station to inform them what was going on and to drop of the stolen goods, they would not take it instead they gave me a phone number for the FBI. I called the number as i was leaving the station I was unable to speak with someone I was directed to http://www.ic3.gov I went on and i could not make the proper complaint, at no time did I see the option for re-shipping scams. The website does not give you the option to explain the situation you are asked a question and then you chose one of the answers they provide. I dont know what to do anymore I have stuff at my house that I dont want and dont know what to do with. what else can I do? The scam artists keep e mailing me asking whats going on with the packages? I’ve been ignoring them for couple days now. has there been cases of people being hurt due to not doing what the scam artists asks?

     Reply

571. i am a student who was unaware of this whole package scam thats been going on when i took the supposed re-shipping job as a means to make extra money. about two weeks ago, my mother had informed about a scam thats been going. i researched and came across your site. i had no idea what to do. the problem is by the time i wanted to stop, there were many packages i was receiving at my address still. to make matters worse, i was to embarrassed to tell my mother what was really going on and still am. because i live with my mother, i am now in constant fear that she may get into trouble for my mistake. and the rest of the packages i had received after learning of this disgusting scam, i ended up forwarding out of fear. what should i do next? i feel dooped and played and mostly saddened because of the grave danger i may have put my family into. i am very scared, especially after reading all of these horror stories. its greatly worrying me to the point where i can’t sleep. i have since stopped, but now i live in fear the authorities may come out my door. what would i tell my mother.

     • Hi Very Scared,

       I’m so sorry to hear your story. It drives me crazy when people find us all after the fact. Look, in my humble opinion and that’s all it is, I would suggest contacting your local post office, authorities or FBI. They are aware that victims are getting duped into this scams and that they’re not the criminals. They can guide you as to your best course of action. It’s better for you to come forward than have them looking for you. And even in that case, they’ll be able to see that you’re not the mastermind behind this. Your mom shouldn’t be in any trouble and I doubt you will too. At the very least just call one of the mentioned officials and hypothetically tell them the situation. You have nothing to feel ashamed or embarrassed about. 90% of the people that have ever looked for a work at home job have been scammed. It’s a painful rite of passage that we all go through. But you will get through it. Just don’t let these scammers get the best of you.

       Visit our scam page:
       http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams You’ll read countless other stories like yours but you’ll also read about people fighting back. So keep your head up. The sooner you talk to the right people about the situation, the sooner you can move on with your life.

       By the way do your part and provide all the details of this scammer by including the emails you may have received, the ad you responded to, etc. Help others avoid this! That’s the best way to get back at scammers.

     i think i may be a victim of this whole package forwarding scam going on. i responded to an ad on craigslist towards the end of april. they e-mailed me back and the company name is supposedly BARS CORP with the website http://www.barscorp.com. i did google search only to find this company is fraudulant. the problem is i am holding 4 packages, yet to be forwarded and i had taken off the initial labels as i was unaware this is a scam. now, i am not sure what to do. i am a student and thought this would be a good way to make an extra source of income. should i contact the fbi and in the meantime, should i forward the rest of the packages?

578. Ok, so I got an email from a resume I submitted off the job board on craigslist in my area, Phoenix, Arizona. I got offered a job working for Nextel Communications processing payroll. I thought that sounds great. The supervisor guy sent me multiple emails with instructions on what needed to be done and how the process for training would start, I even got a welcome to the company letter, on what looks like letterhead. I received some postal money orders in the mail and an email describing what to do with them and to keep $100 for my bonus (incentive the email called it). So I took them down to my bank and I know the one lady really well and she took them in the back for me and their assistant manager told me they were fake. Thank GOODNESS I didn’t just deposit them in my bank account and try to spend my own money like the email wanted me to..

579. 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.

     Reply

580. 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!

So I have all the information besides the address they wanted me to send the packages too….

583. 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!!!!!!

584. 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.

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.

       Now with that said, I think the best thing to do is be honest with the UPS folks. Most of the postal services are aware of this package forwarding scam . They know people are unwitting victims. So it’s best to be upfront and provide as much info as you can and be cooperative. If you have any emails, addresses or any info that were provided by the scam artist, be sure to provide it to the ups.

       Just be honest, you’re not the only victim as we can see on this page. I know how scary this can be. I was almost victim to a check cash scamming and had to go to a police station and talk to a detective. Even though I know I didn’t do anything wrong I was still nervous. I even brought my wife with me. But the detective was very understanding and said that they’ve been hearing about this scam from other law enforcement agencies. So they were basically trying to gather victims to see if they can piece information together to get the scam artists. Apparently it has worked because he told me they’ve busted a few of the scam artists. So the UPS guy may be engaged in the same effort.

       Just be sure that the UPS guy is actually who he says he is. I would actually call the UPS corporate headquarters to verify this guy is who he says he is. And you may want to talk to their fraud department and be proactive. Hopefully this all works out. I can’t see these guys coming after the victim. It’s counter proactive.

       Good luck either way. Keep us posted.

       And if you want, please post some of the emails you received or the job description you responded to so others can avoid this.

587. 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!!

     • Hi Anne,

       Thanks for chiming in. I think the best thing to do is just return package to sender. And yes you may want to contact the company on the label and let them know that package
       was probably obtained via identity theft. Maybe they’ll be able to contact the victim of this shady scheme. If you really want to help feel free to post the emails and ads posted
       by the scam artist that tried to recruit you on our scam page:

       It might help if you provide a lot more details such as the emails you received, the job description, website address, etc.
       At the end of the day it involves shipping stuff as the job then it’s probably a variation of the scam listed above. Scam artist may change up some things but the spirit of the scams tend to be the same.

       Hope to hear from you with more details. But I think you already have an idea of what
       this company is about.

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

598. 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

     Thanks for sharing this information. It looks like they’re trying to contact people in different ways now.

     I’m glad you were able to avoid this one with the information you learned here. In terms of getting our names, many legitimate companies sell our names to other companies for marketing. So it wouldn’t surprise me that they’re able to buy our contact information.

     That’s why I have a “work at home email address” so my personal email account doesn’t get flooded with crap. You just never know who’s going to sell your address.

     In any event, thanks for sharing. Glad you avoided getting scammed!

602. 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!!!

603. Hi Makeda,

     Thanks so much for sharing so much details about your experience with this scam.

     I wish more people would do what you just did! Now anyone that reads this or does a search may avoid being scammed. I think the fact that you contacted your police department should help you avoid any issues. But if you have any concerns you should definitely ask them what you should do.

     Obviously I’m very sorry to hear that this has happened to you in the first place. I think most of us come from an offline world where things like this don’t happen. So you don’t even think you need to be on guard. Lord knows I didn’t know any better when I first got into the work at home industry. But you live and learn.

604. 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

605. Hi Jeff,

     I followed the steps in our scam video:
     http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams and couldn’t really find anything on the site. But when I did a search for that elsa miller name the same email was repeated on a scam warning site.

     Aside from that, there are several things that make me feel this email is BS. There are a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes in their email. Obviously I’m not one to speak considering my awful writing but that seems very weird for someone offering you a job.

     The other thing is why is the person emailing you from a free gmail address rather than the company website address. That’s not very professional.

     They’re also being ambiguous about the job. If I contact a prospect, I would say hey I think based on your resume you’d be a good fit for my data entry job. You have a lot of typing skills so that’s why I’ve contacted you. The fact that they don’t actually allude to your skill set or their job is suspicious.

     If they don’t ask you for experience or references then that should also worry you.

     So personally, I would walk away from this one. You can dig deeper and ask more questions if you want. But if they start talking about cashing checks, wiring money or any of the stuff in the article above then you already know it’s a scam.

     But overall the job smells fishy to me.

     Thanks! I hear ya. The only problem is that scam artists aren’t stupid. They’ll include real legitimate company names in their email proposals. So that’s why people are more inclined to fall for this scam.

615. Hi Jon,

     First and foremost let me thank you for sharing your experience and providing so much detail. No you’re not a moron and should not feel ashamed. Scam artist are very sneaky and good at what they do. They play on our desperation, fears and vulnerabilities. So it’s no wonder so many of us have fallen victim to them.

     With that said, I think you’re taking the right steps. I don’t really think the feds or police want to put victims in jail. Who they really want are the people committing the crimes. So I think coming forward and being honest should work to your benefit. With that said I’m not a lawyer or police officer so consult a local expert as they would know more than I would.

     You just have to view this as a learning experience and don’t let it bring you down. There are legitimate ways to make money at home. And hopefully as you read through our articles, you’ll find the right opportunity or opportunitieS for you. We try to cover a wide range to fit everyone’s situation. So I hope you take the time to explore your options. Don’t let the scammers win by making you give up on your dream of working at home. If I can do it, then anyone can.

     We all just need to continue to share information like you did here. This way we all avoid the scams and stick to the opportunities that can make us money.

     Thanks again for sharing. I really admire your bravery for telling your story. Being scammed is nothing to be ashamed of. Life is funny, sometimes we learn best by making mistakes. Lord knows I’ve made tons of them and continue to do so every day. My forgiving wife will attest to this. lol

     Take care.

       I recently responded to an email I received, claiming tohave received and reviewed my resume submitted online. So excited to be getting a lead on a job I responded. I was totally unaware that package forwarding scams existed and it was the furthest thing from my mind at the time. Anyway, I received the below email and afterreceiving the third package, I decided t do some investigative work on this operatio. After asking anyone if theyd ever heard of the company and their policies, I came across this site. I have found it very helpful to not only me but others that may be suckered in like I was. Needless to say, the last package I received is going to the PD on Monday or mayb I will directly contact the FBI or the CIA. They must have some department that handles this kind of thing.

       Hello Ms. Katrina A. Wright

       Welcome to Forward Logistics Group!
       I have looked through your resume that was received by our Human Resources Department and I think that you can be interested in a Warehouse Clerk position that we are ready to offer you. I will be more than happy to talk to you in future by phone about that position and give replies to your questions if there are any. For the moment being the matter is that we are planning to extend a number of company’s warehouses in some states in about 1-2 months. That is connected with the fact that our orders increased and we need more room to store our packs and items. We have already started to choose locations and that is for sure that one of the warehouses will be built or rented in your area. It is being planned that the warehouse will begin functioning at the end of February. For that reason a Warehouse Clerk position is vacant right now. Having looked through your resume we have found out that you can be one of the best candidates to fill that position in your area. We plan to fill the position withinin next 5-7 days. It is possible that you will already get started working for us from the beginning of the next week. Working for us as a Warehouse Clerk now that we do not have a warehouse at your place you will be a part-time employee till the moment the warehouse operates. Your main responsibilities will be receiving (picking up) our packs with orders, then inspecting, systematizing and sorting those packs and then processing that stuff to our customers and buyers. There will be no need to travel a lot. All the packs will be delivered to you by local courier services and some of them are supposed to be picked up by you in the local FEDEX or UPS facilities. All you have to do is to get (sometimes to pick up) a pack, to open it and prepare a detailed description(including its exact weight, an item inside the pack with pictures, its condition and organization it was received from) and then to wait for us to provide you with a pre-paid shipping label (those labels are paid by the company already) for you to process and ship the packs, then to print the label out and to go to the nearest USPS (usual post-office) to ship the package. Those packs average weight will be 7-40 pounds. You will not have to store anything. Packs are supposed to be shipped the sooner the better. You will not have to use any special paper to print labels out because any white sheet of paper will be ok. As for your payroll I should say that you will already have a basic monthly salary. The amount is $1200.00 (when the warehouse is set up your monthly payroll will increase up to $3350.00). Moreover you will be able to have some extra money using our bonus system. If you ship a pack on the same day or in the morning of the next day you will have extra $20.00 and if the pack weighs more than 7 pounds – $30.00 in addition to your basic salary. You will be paid every 30 days from the moment you sign the company’s agrement. A temporary agreement will be prepared for you as soon as you are ready to get started and when the warehouse is set up we will already discuss everything in personal in your area and you will sign an Official Company’s Contract.
       If you’re interested in the offer you can call us and the number is (202)470-5035 or send your message to the following e-mail box robertmoralski01@gmail.com

       Mr. Robert Moralski
       Regional Instructor
       Forward Logistics Group

       THIS IS SO DESPICABLE!!!

616. 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.
