Business ProfileforArise Courier Service Inc

According to information in BBB files, it appears that this business is no longer in business.

Based on reports we've received from consumers, BBB is confident Arise Courier Service is a suspect reshipping operation. Reshipping schemes are when scammers use stolen credit cards to buy merchandise and then utilize unsuspecting people - under the guise of a job offer (as a forwarding agent) - to ship this merchandise out of the country, where the items are then sold on the black market. These reshipping scammers find victims through job search sites and say they're looking for workers to help expand their operations in the United States. In reality, there are no real jobs; they just need scapegoats in case law enforcement becomes aware of the scheme. Or else they take sensitive personal information submitted by job hunters - such as their Social Security number - and use it to steal their identities.

BBB is advising people to be very careful about 'offers' like this, as they could be charged with a crime if they become embroiled in these schemes. Job hunters should also be leery about providing too much personal information online as scammers are opportunistic and may use that information to open lines of credit.

When searching for employment, job searchers should immediately flag ads that fit this description, in whatever publication or on whatever website they're found. Information has come to BBB's attention which indicates Arise Courier Service was once a legitimate Minnesota business. However, that business was closed in early 2011, and the previous owner states they have no connection to the entity (or the website they operate) claiming to be Arise Courier Service.
