Check their website ( creation data, last modified, domain owner, etc. ) - if it's made a few days/weeks ago, stay away !
My friend trusted someone who he met on MSN and he accepted a similar proposal. Seems scammers were using stolen credit cards to buy goods and then having them delivered to his place for him to forward on to his lovely lady friend from MSN. He found this out when the fraud squad paid him a visit. Be vewy vewy careful with your decision.
I am very non trusting sometimes. I cant stand getting emails from people that claim they want me to work for them. They are usually from another country, since Im in the US. I would stay away if it was me.
Of course it is a scam. They use stolen credit cards to purchase merchandise which is delivered to you, which is then forwarded out of the country. They need suckers in the US to take delivery of the merchandise because CC companies are suspect with orders that ship to Russia, Nigeria, etc. The only reason they don't hire underage people is because many electronic companies require an adult signature before they will leave a package. You'll never get paid, and it will only be a matter of time before you get a visit from law enforcement. This scam has been going on for years. If it sounds to good to be true..........
This is a scam! Seriously, who would pay $90 to forward a purchase to Russia. A legitimate company would just deal with the merchant directly. You should let them buy something to send to you and then only send off the box;
Only if you want to be charged with receiving stolen merchandise. The scammers aren't out anything as they never paid for it in the first place.
Ya I thought it was to good to be true thanks for everyones input. I had not heard of this scam, but it definately makes sense. Thanks
