Option Ventures Intl, reshipping scam

Yet another scam email today, offering a position of a "shipping/receiving assistant". It's too obvious though, even no proper beginning of the email. It's funny though, that the scammer is sending this as a "Careerbuilder reply to application" which I never sent, and at the same time the Sender field says "Craigslist reply" . Here's the text:

Hello has anyone actually started shipping things with them? Bcz I've started shipping things for them but they have not sent me a check yet bcz of a "trial period". So are they using me?

No legitimate company employs people to receive packages at their homes and resend them. If you're doing this, the packages are bought with stolen money. Refuse all further packages, return what you have to the sender, and ignore all further messages from the scammers.

You need to stop now.

The only thing you stand to gain from them is a criminal record.

This is a standard reshipping scam.

There is no "company." Your "employers" are criminals purchasing items with stolen credit cards. Because the criminals are not located in the US (and because they don't want to be caught) they need addresses that won't set off alarms with the companies from which they are placing orders. So they set up these fake websites, and recruit unknowing people for this "job."

However unintentional it is, you are receiving and forwarding stolen merchandise. When the credit cards are reported stolen and the companies start an investigation, they will track the merchandise bought by the criminals. And that track will lead straight to you (and it will stop there, because the information the criminals gave you will be fake.) Receiving and forwarding stolen merchandise is a crime for which you can be arrested.

As far as payment goes, the criminals have no intention of paying any of their money to you. They are thieves, after all. Most of the time these scammers just drop you after a few weeks (by then, your name and address may be flagged anyway, so the companies may refuse to ship any more to you) if you haven't already caught on and walked away. In the rare case in which they do continue and you receive any payment, the payment will also be stolen, and will only leave you open to even more trouble.
