Description
I was emailed about a work-from-home job listing on LinkedIn. The company is listed as Freight Shipping LLC. The job was for a package inspector where they sent packages to your home and then you would repackage and send them back out through either UPS, FedEx, or post office. They explained they worked with customers overseas whose payment methods certain stores didn’t take or didn’t ship to overseas addresses. Everything seemed legit, they had a website, called me for a phone interview, emailed me training videos on how to operate their dashboard, emailed me from payroll to provide my bank information for direct deposit and to fill out a W-4 form as they explained I would receive a W2 at the end of the year. They had me upload a copy of my driver's license, front and back and a picture of myself holding my driver's license. I signed an employee contract as well. I received a few packages but soon realized that the addresses on the shipping labels I was downloading were tweaked and were all to addresses here in the states. I began doing more research and quickly realized that it was part of a reshipping scam. They have continued to contact me daily via email, phone, text, leaving voicemails asking to finish the packages that are on my dashboard and asking for information on the last package I was suppose to receive. I shipped out quite a few packages and my dashboard reflected all that I was earning including my $2250 salary plus $75 per day when I sign in. When it came time to pay me, all of a sudden my account no longer worked and I could not access my dashboard. None of the phone numbers worked to call them. There has been no response to emails either.
