(To view full article, please visit: https://www.bbb.org/article/scams/18070-scam-alert-how-a-work-from-home-reshipping-scam-is-fooling-job-seekers) Looking to earn extra income working from home? Don't bother applying to fake shipping business. It's a con, and your work may help scammers. This scam has reappeared many times in the past few years and is surging once again. 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. You hand over personal information to get signed up and on the payroll. Soon, your first assignment arrives. You are asked to ship something - often electronics, but sometimes other goods - to an address 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. A 2020 BBB report found that 65% of fake online job postings are related to becoming a "warehouse distribution coordinator" or a similarly-titled position involving package reshipment. How to spot a reshipping 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. For More Information: - To find out more about reshipping and employment scams, check out BBB.org/employmentscam. - To learn more about scams, go to BBB Scam Tips (BBB.org/scamtips). If you've been targeted by this scam, help others avoid the same problem by reporting your experience on the BBB Scam Tracker.

Customer Complaint
BBB has received a complaint and scam tracker reports concerning employment issues.
The business hires individuals to work from home to ship packages.
"I signed up for a job through this company. Signed a w-4, signed employment agreement, and have been working for them for about a month as a storeroom manager . I just finished training and didn't even get a day past training before i was told about a ful time position with better pay.
Everything looked seriously legit i found the company through indeed and started questioning it once they tried to give me a promotion right after my training period. That just doesnt feel like a ligit business. I decided to contact indeed and was told to report the company to irs,bbb, and my local police station as well.
Email i recieved from my "superviser"
Today morning I got the information that we have opened position. The position is high-payer. So I want to discuss with you the new position. Do you have any other employment? If you have time for the company I can speak with the company head about high-payer position for you with basic salary about $4,000.00 + bonuses. If you would like I'll describe it to you. The company head wants to hire a person she will choose by her own but I want to recommend someone I know and who is really good with the tasks and instructions because I am supervisor in this position too. That's why I want to discuss it with you.
Also I was contacted by the accountant and I was advised that for the salaries under $500,00 we use Pay Pal to transfer the money. I looked through our conversation and it looks I'm missing your message where you provided me with preferable method for you to get the money. In any case, I have to ask you provide me with actual Pay Pal address even if you don't use pay pal. You can create a personal account for minutes with Pay Pal official website and link it to your debit card. Please let me know.
I hope this finds others who was contacted for employment by them as well! Do not sign up for a company no matter how legit they look! Their website was:
https://novajov.us/ and they even had a legit looking dashboard."
