I recieved the below as an email response how does this make sense.. seems like mail fraud to me Hello Brian Johnson, We have a position for you. The business model is the following: we have a large European customer database. Currently we actively work with Russia, Finland, Moldova, etc. We also have the suppliers in the USA. Our only problem is that many sellers do not ship internationally; hence, we need employees in the US, who could duly get and send parcels to Europe. This business model already works well, however, as our business is growing, we need extra staff. Now we are looking for several extra employees in the USA. You can get this job. One of the main requirements is the daily internet access. You will need it to contact our managers via e-mail, get information about new parcels and report about the completed tasks. Your work will consist of the following: - You check your e-mail every day. You will get information about parcels to be waited for. - Receive the parcel. Opening of the parcel and damaging the original packing is strictly prohibited! - Right after receiving you need to report to you supervisor. - The supervisor will provide you with the postal label with a new addressee you will re-send the parcel to our courier in Europe. Usually we use USPS and DHL for shipments from the USA to Europe. - You remove all previous postage marks on the parcel - Open and stick on the new one. - After you stick a new postmark you send a parcel. It does not cost anything, because all the shipping labels are prepaid. - After sending you report to your supervisor. You will be paid $35 for each parcel.

Likely all the merch is bought with stolen credit cards. If you want to be a mule for overseas thieves, go for it. Quick hint to guess. Was the email sent from a Spector email address? -jim
lol, yep getting busted but still how do they get away with a business model like this its pretty much purely illegal skating around all customs/imports for a company by using indiviuals scamers always finding new ways to take a buck
oh, Im not buying it Im not stupid. i just dont understand how they can get away with it. email address [email protected]
Its amazing how many people can't see that this is being the middle man for stolen goods. We get hit with a few of these orders every day. Most of the time the fraud filters catch it but not always. In the end the bad guy gets the goods, the CC holder gets their money back and the retailer gets screwed. It sucks. Called a property manager in a low rent apartment complex one time because we lost some goods to one of the tenants that was participating in one of these. Property manager said he wondered why they were get 10-15 packages a day from FedEx/UPS for all this high end stuff.
Why would one go to a legitimate job and work for the Man when one can scam from home in Nigeria in his pajamas and flip-flops?
