Description

I found an openeing for a "package genius" role on LinkedIn for Freight shipping LLC. I was called. Did phone interview and took pictures of my ID and gave my bank information for direct deposit payment. I never filled out the W-4 form they sent me. My job was to recieve or pick up packages. They had a dashboard where you could access that as well as the shipping labels. I was to open the packages and take pictures of the product itself and any barcodes or serial numbrr and upload that to the dashboard. What threw me was the shipping labels and authorization letters. Those would pop up for the "V.I.P" packages. VIPs needed to be picked up from a location (autozone, FedEx pick up hub,ect). And drop them off at FedEx, UPS, or USPS. Sometimes they would add a letter of authorization to the "VIPs". In that letter also would be a copy of the "customers" ID stating i have permission to pick up the package on their behalf. Even with a notary stamp from Indiana with it from a Tequisha Jones. There was an instance where I was picking one up and recognized the same name but a different person all together. And with the shipping lables, my adress, name, and sometimes the city and zip were different and changed on the "from" portion of the label. This Erich isnt the only name or person i talked to. Theres also a Helen , Katrina Watts, Lola Mendez and Lilly Gregor. Those would be the ones to tell me i needed to take a certain picture or they would call and ask how fast i could pick up and drop off packages. I wasnt alarmed until i noticed the labels. Looked them up on BBB and saw a report of them made in the recent past from a different state.
