Don’t Be the Victim of a Reshipping Scam! Have you been asked to receive packages at your home or business and mail them to someone else? Postal Inspectors advise: Don’t do it! Criminals who conduct reshipping scams recruit victims through a variation of one of these scenarios: Work-at-Home Scams Criminals often post phony job announcements at Internet career sites, offering positions such as “merchandising manager,” “package processing assistant,” or a similar title. Job duties generally include receiving packages and mailing them to a foreign address on behalf of a client. The websites may look legitimate, and they may offer to send you postage-paid mailing labels. The real story? The offers come from criminals who buy merchandise with stolen credit cards and need help smuggling the goods out of the country. Even the mailing labels are phony.
And you are committing a felony when you help out these criminals.
