Reshipping Job Offer

How the scam works:

(with video below) Looking for jobs online you find an ad offering attractive wages for “Correspondence Managers”, “Shipping and Receiving Manager”, “Quality Controller”, “Quality Assurance Manager”, “Stock Assessment Operators” or “Mailing assistants”. The opportunity sounds good: “Work just a few hours a week, no experience necessary, high school diploma, etc”. You’ve seen those, right?

Watch the video below to see how the Reshipping Job Offer scam works, or read on:

Reshipping Scam Exposed Video

If you get the job, you will be the representative of an offshore company; taking possession of goods sent to your city and re-shipping them elsewhere. This sounds straightforward, interesting even. Best of all, wire transfers will be made into your bank account to cover the shipping costs and your payment.

What actually happens is scammers buy those goods with stolen credit cards, after getting personal information and account numbers from various victims. Then they send the the goods to the real owners of the cards as the mailing address has to match the one on the credit card.

Then they call the owners and claim to be representatives of the shipping company and inform them that an order was shipped in error to their address. Then they will ask for permission to send a courier (an innocent third party) that would pick up the item. As the victims can’t see the transaction on their credit card statemtent just yet and don’t even assume that the package was purchased with their own credit card, they approve.

That’s when the scammers hire you and send you to pick up the item as a correspondence manager and make you send the product forward.
