"A.G. Company has a Logistics Manager position in your area"

I received this scam in an email a few minutes ago and Googled the "company." There was absolutely nothing on the Internet and it was sent from this person: CASSIE SANDERS <[email protected]. Here is what was in the email:

"The position is remote, so you will be working from home, with a flexible work schedule. You will get all necessary trainings on the company and the possibility to get promoted.

Payment rate: will be paid monthly of $2,550 at the end of the first month, and after the probationary period will be $3,250/month - the sum to be divided into 2 biweekly payments.

Key duties are: to access the online Control Panel with tasks on a daily basis; to receive, inspect packages in order toensure the quality control, and ship them out with prepaid labels; to collaborate with a senior supervisor; to keep inventory online; to submit daily reports online.

Perks and benefits kick in after the trail period: standard company health, life, vision and dental insurance coverage. Paid vacation time is equivalent to four weeks a year. Personal days off are generally procured according to the company's policy.

Additional incentives: after the completion of the probationary period you will be eligible to extra bonuses depending on your performance.

In order to obtain more details regarding the position, please reply us back with the following information:

Thank you for posting to Scamwarners . We're glad you found this post and were warned . Your post will help warn other potential victims of this reshipping scam .

Has anyone actually gone through the process of finding out what happens after the probationary period is over?
I am curious to know.

You will work for free shipping stolen property.

The worse you could be charged with receiving stolen property. Aiding and abetting in financial crimes. Obtaining property by false pretenses. Laundering stolen property.

ETA: Basically legal fees or possible jail time.

I appreciate the heads up Bryon!
I found their website and have really looked into it and its obvious that a lot of effort has been put towards this scam. I don't understand why someone would put so much effort into this just to get a few packages shipped out. But I'm not a criminal so that is probably why I don't see their incentive.
Have you had any personal experience with the "A.G Company"?

I advise on scams and report scams.

If a criminal makes a dollar off a crime it is an incentive Especially if someone else takes the charge.

These criminals use fake names and fake websites. If it was not profitable they would not do it.

Few packages can equal $1,000.00 of stolen property. One piece of jewelry, an electronic or etc..

RESHIPPING
The "reshipping" scheme requires individuals in the United States, who sometimes are coconspirators and other times are unwitting accomplices, to receive packages at their residence and subsequently repackage the merchandise for shipment, usually abroad.

"Reshippers" are being recruited in various ways but the most prevalent are through employment offers and conversing, and later befriending, unsuspecting victims through Internet Relay Chat Rooms.

Unknown subjects post help-wanted advertisements at popular Internet job search sites and respondents quickly reply to the online advertisement. As part of the application process, the prospective employee is required to complete an employment application, wherein he/she divulges sensitive personal information, such as their date of birth and social security number which, unbeknownst to the victim employee, will be used to obtain credit in his/her name.

The applicant is informed he/she has been hired and will be responsible for forwarding, or "reshipping", merchandise purchased in the United States to the company's overseas home office. The packages quickly begin to arrive and, as instructed, the employee dutifully forwards the packages to their overseas destination. Unbeknownst to the "reshipper," the recently received merchandise was purchased with fraudulent credit cards.

The second means of recruitment involves the victim conversing with the unknown individual in various Internet Relay Chat Rooms. After establishing this new online "friendship" or "love" relationship, the unknown subject explains for various legal reasons his/her country will not allow direct business shipments into his/her country from the United States. He/she then asks for permission to send recently purchased items to the victim's United States address for subsequent shipment abroad for which the unknown subject explains he/she will cover all shipping expenses.

After the United States citizen agrees, the packages start to arrive at great speed. This fraudulent scheme lasts several weeks until the "reshipper" is contacted. The victimized merchants explain to the "reshipper" the recent shipments were purchased with fraudulent credit cards. Shortly thereafter, the strings of attachment are untangled and the boyfriend/girlfriend realizes their Cyber relationship was nothing more than an Internet scam to help facilitate the transfer of goods purchased online by fraudulent means.

If you believe you may have fallen victim to this type of scam and wish to report it, please file a complaint with us.

Think to yourselves why cant the scammer order these products?? Is it that he is buying them with fraudulent money and having you launder it.

ship them out with prepaid labels

The prepaid labels are from hacked postal accounts.

I just have a quick question for you .How did your hear about this fake company ? Are they advertising on some Job Sites ? Did you receive emails ?

Thx

For the record there are a number of similar sounding companies like AG Logistics, AG Logistic Services, Pro AG Logistics, etc, that are completely legit, if not downright boring.

Disclaimer, I work for one of these companies in IT and we get callers all of the time about the Ad they saw online or the email they received. As stated above these are scams related to the receiving and handling of stolen merchandise and have nothing to do with the legit companies with similar names.

There is no website mentioned in the post . Its nice that you were able to find it so quickly . Perhaps you would be kind enough to share a link to that website here on Scamwarners . After several hours research I have only been able to find one company by that exact name and its located in St Petersburg , Russia .

@ kinkina

Is this the AG Company your talking about ? A google street level view shows the location to be a Residential Building with a park across the street . And its a privacy protected site . Sort of unusual for a company that does business with the general public .

No that is not the same website that I found. I actually just tried to go to the website they gave me and it no longer exists, so that pretty much says it all. How do I go about reporting this scam?
