Default ANyone heard of litecourier

Hi everyone,

I am so glad to have stumbled across this site. I was looking for info about this op, and came across this forum. Thanks for having it up !

Anyhow, this offer seems to be good, and I wonder if it is to be true.
Has anyone had any experience with couriers on the net? If so, can I hear about some of your experiences.
I have done some research and found out that the company does appear to be legit. As they do have a ph # in the UK, and have a web page as well. But we all know, that does not a true legit business make.
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks...Xzziple

BTW, I have no idea how they got my info, but as I was looking for at home work they could get that info anywhere..
Here is the email /invite I received.
Please note, I have attempted to remove all of their contact info. If I have missed some I do appologize in advance.

I did a "Search." Came up with nothing but your link. It sounds like a scam job offer. These operatives change their company name and website so often its hard to keep up. I suggest you open links in Employment Scam Letter Archives. There may be a similar letter posted in this section.

These scammers place your personal information in their marketing database then sell it to shady spammers.

I have not heard a thing about it. I checked out their website and they sound legit. They make you sign a contract with them for 1 year following a 3 month trial period. I signed up and things are going well. Have only been on w/ them for 2 days so we'll see how it goes....I'll keep you posted

Anything further comments concerning your initial stages? Usually when I start asking questions they drop off the radar screen. Thanks for your post.

Default Lite courier

I am sorry to say that Lite Courier is a scam. I sent shippments for them for 1 month and as soon as I inquired about how I would be paid they stopped contacting me.

I guess it was to good to be true.

Any idea as to the nature of those shipments you were sending for them? Were they documents? The advanced fee and check fraudsters have used similar modalities in the past in setting up unsuspecting contacts in both the U.S. and U.K. who usually end up sending out fake job offers and other scam mailings along with transfering shipments of fake checks to other scammers in thier group. Be thankful that you didn't recieve payment via a fake check or recieve a visit from the FBI while you were handling shipping for them.
