Description

Scam Description I was offered a job as a “Cargo Checker / Mail Center Clerk” by Hawkline Freight LLC (sometimes calling itself Hawkline Express). The contract included the following suspicious and potentially fraudulent elements: • Unrealistic salary ($4,300/month + bonuses up to $5,400/month for entry-level work). • Illegal salary deductions (contract states $700 is deducted from base pay if packages are delayed). • Wage withholding (payment only released after all packages/tasks are completed). • Identity theft risk (contract required uploading front and back of my government ID while holding it next to my face). • Reshipping scam structure (job duties include receiving, inspecting, and re-shipping packages — a known pattern used in stolen goods/fraud scams). The company was only just registered in Colorado on Sept 11, 2025, and appears to have been created solely to facilitate this scam.
