Saratoga QCA

I received an email a few weeks ago from a company looking for a part time quality control manager that would pay me $50 to have packages shipped to my house. I would then inspect, photograph, and write up a report on the items. I would then post my report on a website that I would log in to (dashboard-access.org). They would then provide me a USPS shipping label to send to them. I did this for about 5 packages not thinking anything of it. I received a package a few days ago where the invoice listed me as the ship to person as well as the bill to person which concerned me. I also noticed that there was email address and phone number on the invoice that was not mine. The phone number is actually a non working number. I sent my employers a message on the website asking them about this. They responded with the standard thanks for your report please mail as soon as possible. I replied back stating that they had not answered my question. I then received a call the following day from my employer Stephen who said he would look into it for me. Today I login and see a message saying that I had yet to send the package so I responded that I wasn't sending anything until I had an explanation. At this point I became very suspicious and started googling about my situation which is where I found that I may be the victim of a reshipping scam. I thought the company was legit since they had a website saratogaqca.com and I was actively looking for a part time job at the time I received the initial email from them. I just want to know if this is legit or I'm possibly involved in something I want no part of.

It's a definite scam - there is no legitimate job that involves receiving packages at home and shipping them elsewhere.

You have been receiving and shipping stolen goods, so you now need to be proactive to protect yourself. Cut off all contact with the scammers, do not mail the package that is currently in your possession and refuse delivery of any other packages that arrive. Print off all of the emails and contact your local police and let them know that you are the victim of a reshipping scam. Also, ask them to advise what you should do with the package in your possession. It would also be a good idea to report the scam on the FBI's ic3.gov website as well.

Please post the emails you received, including full headers if you received them from either of the domains you mentioned. We need evidence to kill the sites, particularly dashboard-access, which is just a login page as far as we can see. (SaratogaQCA has enough info on the site and its whois record to prove it fake.)

Also include full headers when you print the emails to show to the police.

Is there a way to attach a file?

If it's a text file, a word processor file, a PS file, or a PDF file, you should be able to copy the text and paste it in a post. If it's an image, upload it to http://scamwarners.com and paste the URL with img tags in a post. (Mark it "fake used by scammer" or the like.) If it's something else, what is it?

In addition to what AlanJones said, since the packages either arrived or went out via USPS, you should also report the crime you are a victim of to the US Postal Inspector's office. You can find your closest one here:

https://ribbs.usps.gov/locators/find-is.cfm

print out your emails, and everything else that shows you are a victim before you go to the USPI''s office.

Looks like they're operating under the guise of a Marketing Research company.

I have a PDF that will not copy paste, Any help?

Does it contain text, pictures, or both? Did you try copying the text, as opposed to the pictures?

In Okular, the rightmost button on the toolbar is marked "Selection". It is a pulldown. If you hold the mouse button down on it, you get "Selection Tool", "Text Selection Tool", and "Table Selection Tool". Select "Text Selection Tool". You should be able to copy and paste text. If you can't, and there is text, it's a scan of text (which is unlikely from a scammer; it means someone's scanned a piece of paper and turned into a PDF) and you have to type it in.

If it's pictures, open it in the Gimp, save as JPEG or PNG, and put it on Upload Eater.

I received the same exact email except I haven't sent in my application form yet. I was going to but decided to investigate first and found this forum. I don't know how to attach a screenshot of my email here but it is definitely the exact job and job title. Something about the email and job description was weird especially when they attached a FAQ's section and one of the questions was if the job/company was legit....No legit company would have that. Then I looked up their address 50 Bond street NY and saw that Saratoga does not abide there. In fact, no one does, it's still open for lease. Normally I would have thought it was just old info and maybe Saratoga just moved in. But that nagging feeling told me that these people don't exist. I want to know which of these job sites released my information for me to be open to a scam like this! I could have been desperate for a job and ended up in jail. Please help me figure out how I can attach my email for proof. Someone out there still doesn't know and I want to help disable this scam.

Hi Sailormoon! Thank you for the report and I'm glad you found this before getting scammed yourself.

Are they still using the same email address and contact information?

Is this enough?

If you can find the "complete header" or "Full header" of that email and post it please, SailorMoon, that would be most helpful. Remove your own personal information before posting it We only want scammer's info posted here.
