This company has stolen credit cards and buying items to ship to peoples address all over the US for you to ship overseas.

I think they have stolen the bigboxsuperstore.com info and using it. The address for the bigboxsuperstore.com is different from the Eshops Direct LLC when you check the BBB.org Eshops Direct LLC is 10 minutes away from the bigboxsuperstore.

I'm asking the site killers to take a look at it.

I'm actually an "employee" of E-shops Direct llc. I received the same message via email shortly after I applied for the position on Indeed.com. I thought it was legit because they asked for so much paperwork, had a handbook, requested tax forms, and even had a website where I communicated with my manager and tracked the incoming and outgoing packages. It really seemed like the real deal. I had iPads and $700 cameras coming to my house to be shipped overseas. But when it was time to get paid (30 freakin' days later), I couldn't get in contact with anyone. Not only did I waste 5 weeks of my time, but I'm afraid if this business is conducting illegal transactions with my name and address associated with it. How do I even file a complaint about this???

Please post as many emails as you can here, with complete headers, removing your name and address. Also if you have the shipping labels, to show where the packages went, post them too. If they're in PDF or something other than a raster format, so they can't go into Upload Eater, let me know and I'll tell you where to email them.

This is a package mule job (the scammers buy stuff with stolen money and hire people to ship it overseas), but the website links to a company registration, so we need more detailed evidence to kill it.

Also print out all the emails and show them to the police. If you don't, they'll come looking for you, and you could do jail time.

You should probably file a report with IC3 as well.

Phone number leads to one of the scammers' previous versions of this scam.

Foreign companies that buy and sell goods in the US and ordinary consumers from many countries find this service to be invaluable.

Eshops Direct is always seeking to develop its services further through a number of strategies based on innovation. We create value for our customers by going far beyond the ordinary mail forwarding or brokerage services. We do this by utilizing the most up-to-date technological solutions and through efficient warehousing and human resources management approaches.

I FILLED OUT AN APPLICATION AND GAVE VERY DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY PHONE OR EMAIL SINCE SENDING IN MY EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. THIS SEEMED TO GOOD TO BE TRUE FOR THE MONEY BEING PAID AND NO RESPONSE BACK. LUCKILY IT WAS A GOOGLE DRIVE APPLICATION I FORWARDED AND I HAVE SINCE DELETED IT. WHAT IS A REPORT IC3 AND WHERE DO I FILE ONE?

http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

Thank you for the information. I will be filing a complaint.

This is definitely a scam. I got lured into this job too. The state police and a federal investigator just left my house. I have a cease and desist order from the U.S. Postal Service. Fortunately the investigators gave me a pardon in writing because, apparently, more police will be knocking on my door for other disputes from fraudulent purchases shipped to me.

If anyone happens to be approached by ANY reshipping organization. DO NOT get involved!! There are many layers set up by the Russian Mafia so they will never get caught, YOU WILL. If you already are involved, file a complaint with the U.S. Postal service asap. http://ehome.uspis.gov/fcsexternal/default.aspx. Contact your local police department and make an official statement and be transparent as possible!!

You can file a complaint through IC3 but filing through the USPS is the more appropriate route.

Hope this can help someone else.

I also got scammed with this. I did file an IC3 and with my local police dept. I'm more embarrassed than anything else at this point.

I did make copies of everything I sent, correspondence, and the "contract" and made sure my lifelock was working, no hits on id theft yet thankfully, I just hope this works itself out soon, I would hate to find out sometime in the future I have some kind of warrant out there I wasn't aware of. Any other advice from anyone?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS - I ALMOST FELL FOR IT!

Thank you guys SO much! I was recently (yesterday) contacted by a company called Packages Plus LLC and it sounded like a great deal. Having just retired from a management job with a major airline, I was very interested and it DID sound good. Thank goodness I found this blog and didn't do it. Hopefully others who search for this company name will see this post and shy away. I was unable to find anything bad with this company name. Thanks again!!

I should have known that the grammar was bad, but so many companies have errors on their pages anymore that I almost fell for it.

Welcome to Scamwarners HCannonball,

I am happy that you did some research and landed here.

What was the email address the scammer used with you? This will help others if they search using email addresses.
