BBB Industry Tips:
How the Scam Works:
You receive an email offering you a job at a shipping service. The company is hiring "agents" to package items and mail them overseas. The position reimburses "agents" for their expenses and pay a monthly stipend. It sounds like easy money, so you accept the job.
Soon, your first assignment arrives. You are asked to ship something - often electronics - to an address domestically or overseas. You send off the items, but your payment never arrives. You've been conned, and you may have just helped scammers move illegally obtained goods.
Watch out for variations on this scam, such as requests that could open you up to ID theft. Some victims reported sending a copy of their driver's license with their "job application," which gave scammers their name, address and photo.
How to Spot a Reshipping Job Scam:
- Be very cautious of any job that asks you to share personal information or hand over money. Scammers will often use the guise of running a credit check, setting up direct deposit or paying for training.
- If a job looks suspicious, search for it in Google. If the result comes up in many other cities with the exact same job post, it is likely a scam.
- Check out the business' website. Scammers often falsely use the names of real businesses. Check on the business's site or give them a call to confirm the position exists

Additional Complaint Information
An employee filed a pending complaint with BBB, alleging that they were offered a job position but were not paid for the month after duties were fulfilled. Specifically, the duties included mailing out packages in the employee's own name and address. In December 2019 BBB contacted the business to request their position, to date no reply has been received. Below is the employee's complaint details:
"Source Business LLC is a scam, they want you to charge products on your credit card, ship to them, but then will say payment unauthorized, and pull it
Source Business LLC says they will hire you as a purchasing agent for a very high salary. You purchase Apple Products from a list they provide you and the. It is all supposed to be on "their money", but the catch is a two week "Trial Period" where you have to purchase and ship on your credit card.
They pay off your credit card with a bank account they provide, everything works, the payment posts, but then since it is a payment, not a charge, they can pull that payment from you at any time, case in point I had a charge pulled back 3 weeks after it cleared.
I thought this was a scam to begin with but thought I could limit my liabiltiy to see if it was a real job. Citibank says any payments to a credit card shoudl post from the other bank in 2-3 days and after it has posted it can't be pulled back, that is not true. If it is coming for a bank account, all the provider need to do is tell the bank this withdrawal was unauthorized and even if it is weeks later, they can still pull the payment. I now have thousands of dollars of debt as a result."
