Alert
BBB has completed an investigation into this business after receiving many scam tracker reports stating that consumers filed for an employment position for a shipping service online with this business. They were offered $2400 to $3200 a month to receive packages to be opened, inspected and reshipped to other addresses. The BBB has reported the business to both the IC3, Louisiana Attorney General, and the website host as such. We recommend that consumers always research any online businesses by contacting their BBB first.
A "re-shipping" scam involves fraudsters who use stolen credit cards to buy items -usually expensive items - online. Instead of having the item shipped to the billing address, the fraudster sends them to what's called a reshipper. At the reshipper location, the items are repackaged and usually sent overseas. There they can often be sold at a high price on the black market. These fraudsters may use unwitting people to become money mules and accept deliveries and become the reshipper. That person has now become part of their criminal enterprise without knowing it. Don't be a money mule, it's illegal. Report fraud and attempted fraud to the FBI at ic3.gov. This information will help investigate these criminals.
If you believe you have been a victim of this type of scam, you should reach out to your local BBB office to report the scam information, file a complaint with your state's attorney general's office, and contact your local FBI field office. You can also report this business to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov for violation of the FTC mail order rule.
If you encounter a scam, please report it to our BBB Scam Tracker at BBB.org/scamtracker. Even if you don't fall victim to the scam, the information allows you to share your experience with others and helps to protect the public from scammers.
