Recently, I have signed a contract to work for a company called Worldtrans Aeroship (I believe I must have found them thru Craigslist - I was searching very heavily on many sites, however). They are located in Denmark or Sweden with an office in Russia as well, according to the website. I did some basic searches, and could not find anything about them beyond they were a shipping company in the Denmark area. (I did not see anything bad about them, so took it as a good sign) (BBB = no record)
I did not have to pay any money for the opp., also took as a good sign.
I was to receive parcels, open, check for damage, then repack, report and send them on to their destination. OK. (I have mystery shopped, so I am well aquainted w/ QC (that's 'quality control').
I have a package right now that has a $2000 product in it and my instructions were to "destroy the packing slip and the mailing label to protect the buying agents' information" (I had to sign for the pkg. tho it was not my name on it) and a new mailing label arrived in my email - it is to be sent to Russia. A second parcel has arrived (from the same company as the first, so I'm sure just as valuable - it sits here, unopened as yet.).
I am in a dilema - I seriously need the money this job would provide, but I question the ethics... Am I being used as a virtual "fence" or have I been reading way too many Sherlock Holmes books? (BTW, local Police Dept. officer says it sounds like it might be fraudulent, but didn't know for sure. Did not seem overly interested in the situation. (!! !!) Asked for someone to give advice at P.O. but the Postmaster works at the other branch, the supervisor on duty was not otherwise interested. Have not been able to contact Postmaster yet ) Any other opinions???
