Below is the response I received after responding to his craigslist ad. He had a word doc attachment that is an application.

#1 - I never sent my resume.
#2 - His website pictures are of really crappy quality.
#3 - Can't find a thing about the company except their website and another company name which takes you to the same website.

I see lots of views.........any feedback, suggestions, etc.???????

Dear Kacy130,

My husband has been out of work for a while now and saw the same posting that you did on Craigslist. After receiving the initial e-mail that you posted in your questions he (my husband) filled out the Application and sent it back to them (fortunately he forgot to fill out his address at the top. This is the e-mail they sent back in reply:

---------------------------------
Attached you will find the contract, w-4 form and i-9 form. These
documents need to be read attentively, filled in and signed and
emailed back to me or faxed to: (888) 284-4075. Please attach a copy of your ID.

You salary will be paid to you 30 days after you receive your first parcel or documents.

Once again your duties:


- Handling customer complaints and concerns (through email) in a professional manner. You will receive a FAQ guide from your manager.

- Initiate orders for replacements parts and/or for correcting errors (shortages, wrong item shipped, etc.).
- Stay at home (or have someone at home) to receive packages and mail during working hours (9a.m. - 4p.m.) and report on each received package or envelope through the dispatcher control panel or email.

- Receive packages with goods (usually clothes, electronics, jewelry) and envelopes with documents (parcels come not in your name, but in our customer's name) .

- Repack following the instructions (will be sent to you via email once the shipping label is available for download).
- Log into dispacther's control panel and download prepaid shipping label and print it (we do not provide with the printer and do not compensate the ink).

- Download and print new invoice and replace the invoice from the package. (this is required to help the customer's goods pass their customs without additional fees)

- Attach the shipping label to the parcel and ship the parcel same day you received it.
- Update dispatcher's control panel with tracking number from the printed shipping label once you ship the package.
- Other duties may be assigned to meet business needs.


First package will be shipped to you within 5 business days after you sign the contract and forward it to me. Your official start date is the day you receive your first package.

As soon as I receive the contract I will forward all the information
to your Manager - Richard Smith and he will email you your account
information. I will call you next week when I return to Kansas from
our branch in New York. Richard Smith will call you within 3 days
after receiving your information from me and will explain you
additional details of your job.
-----------------------------------

After reviewing the attached employee contract these are a few ‘red flags’ I saw with the contact:
-They make you agree to working for them for 1 year.
-It included what is supposedly the CHQ address: 4286 Murietta Ave, Los Angeles, CA, United States. When I looked up this address on Google Maps it has a street view available and I did not see anything in the area that looked like it could be CPA’s CHQ. On the two corners that are closest to the address pin there is a furniture store and an Antique Market. (Take a look for yourself)
-Next, when company’s send out legal documents they are double, triple, and quadruple checked for grammatical errors and inconsistencies. The employee contract document is supposed to be a legal document but I found a number of grammatical errors and inconsistencies in the writing.

Also, I in the e-mail it asks you to fill out tax forms, which would contain any information they would need to steal your identity, and after the forms have been safely delivered to them then they’ll call you!!! They don’t give you any way to contact them. I don’t buy it!

To further support the fact that I think it is a fraud, I tried to “buy” something on CPA’s website. In order to purchase an item you must create an account, so I did using a junk e-mail account my husband and I have, the address for my town house complex without the unit number, and a made up name. Then I proceeded to try and purchase something after I logged in and it kept on telling me I had to log in. Every time I clicked the “add to cart” button it would take me to the log in screen, then I would log in and it would take me back to the product screen, then I’d trying clicking “add to cart” again and it would take me back to the log in screen. So that didn’t work!!!

To top it off I’ve tried to call 888 number on the site numerous times, first off I get a computer saying “You’ve received the personal assistant to Gilbert Perez, please state your name and I will try to connect you” then I say something (I doesn’t matter what!) and it connected me to music then I get another computer saying “Thank you for calling Computer Parts America, all of our lines are currently busy please leave a message and one of our call center operators will get back to you.”

Anyway… my husband and I have come to the conclusion that it is a scam!!!!

Thank you Rose430. Very interesting story you had! And I see you are in Phoenix so obviously they are spamming every city.

Thank you for sharing you and your husband's experience. It's good you caught all the grammar errors. That is usually the first "red flag". And depending on how certain words are spelled you can generally tell it's international. And if there is no contact info then I definitely get a "red flag".

I have gotten to the point that I just email them just to make them waste their time answering me since they think they have another "sucker". I laugh when I get their reply back because as I am reading I know I've wasted another 5 minutes of their useless day.

BTW, I went back and did a search for the ad. Guess what! It's gone. How ironic!

Thank you again for sharing. We need to spread the word about these useless idiots.

Thanks for the info Kacy130 and Rose430,

I recently rec'd this same email from the useless idiots.

I think this is big time fraud. Because every time he uses his last name different. He sent me the same information with the name "George Sanders"
So I think somebody should take some step about it too.

I received all the same info. So then I get an email with a link for the program I'm supposed to download to log into with a login and password. Then they call me, the guy sounded weird, it was from a blocked line. They told me I would be receiving my first package. And I did. Except the name on the ship to was not mine, the address was mine though. The FedEx guy was very reluctant to leave the package with me.

So then i get an email from usps that says my label is ready to be printed. So I log in to that program and click on "print" and the prepaid shipping label prints. It is going to some guy in Russia, this time the label has my name and my address on the return address.
I'm so not sure about this. The instructions for me were to open the box and make sure it contained what the program said it should, an HP mini notebook.

Now what am I supposed to do? I don't like the way this feels one bit. This so-called "company" should really be investigated. They are up to no good and they're getting innocent people involved. Why in the world would they have a package sent from TN to AZ, so that I can send it to Russia?

What would you do? What should I do? I'm more than willing to take some kind of action.

@suspicious , As you have noticed this is a bad scam . I will request that some one I know contact you on your email address, to assist you.
Please make hard copies of all the emails you received and sent to this scammer .

If you do not hear back from my contact in a reasonable time , then take everything to your local police station and make a full report to cover yourself .

I am a Russian speaking guy and i know very well this kind of scams. It's very common in our forums. The goods are usually stolen and the person who ships it may be investigated by the police. Don't be part of those scams because you will have a lot of troubles with the police and the Russian mob.
Don't ever never answer to emails with "shipping envelops and packages". Don't get your ass in to big big troubles.
