Comments and Analysis

We urge caution. We believe this company may be recruiting participants in a package forwarding scam. Reshipping scams involve the receiving and reshipping of merchandise ordered online, to locations usually overseas. The shipper is an unwilling participant and the merchandise has been paid for with stolen or fraudulent credit cards. Those who even unknowingly participate in forwarding stolen goods, or unauthorized credit card transactions, may risk prosecution themselves, despite being a victim.

Various methods are used frequently to entice victims to unwillingly take part in this scam. The first is through the use of help wanted advertisements posted on popular Internet job search sites. As part of the process, the prospective employee is required to provide all of his/her personal information, including social security number and date of birth. Once this employee is "hired," they immediately begin receiving packages at their residence and are then responsible for repackaging and shipping the merchandise abroad.

Payment to these employees usually never materializes, or arrives in the form of a third party cashiers check instead of a regular paycheck. Additionally, the check is usually for an amount in excess of what had previously been agreed upon. The employee is instructed to cash the check and electronically forward the excess amount to an overseas bank account. After the transaction is complete but before the check has had a chance to "clear," the financial institution realizes that the cashier's check is not valid. The employee is then responsible for the total amount of the fraudulent check. By this point, the employee realizes they have not only become a victim, but the operators of the scam are now in possession of their personal information. If you have been victimized by an employment scam, you can help prevent these types of incidents from recurring by reporting it to the proper law enforcement authorities.
