Hi! I'm a youngin' looking for a summer job and was using Snagajob.com. I got this email right away:
I unfortunately had never heard of the reshipping scam and replied.
This is when I became skeptical and researched the crap out of this "company"
Oh crap... I never gave him my information, he got it from Snagajob! At this point I was a little nervous and called up my mother. She told me right away it was a scam. I tried my hardest to contact Snagajob to get the job listed off of their website, and I told "Darrell" to not contact me again and if he sends me anything I will not accept it, or take it to the police.
So, i wanted to let people know in case they are as naive as i was. I'm lucky i had a bad feeling about it. if anyone has tips for me on what I should do now, it is appreciated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. Some FAQ:
-1) What types of products are you shipping?
We are shipping computer items, clothes, and other.
-2) Are any of the items firearms, or other items subject to federal regulations?
We will inform you about consist of all packages!
We do not work with the illegal or forbidden goods (like weapon, drugs etc.)
-3) Why wouldn't you have the products shipped directly to the purchaser?
We are working with peoples who lived and worked in the countries which are located far from the large economic centers.
They faces a problem of purchase and delivery of their favorite qualitative goods, because US Shops do not send the goods outside of
the country.
For example:
http://www.apple.com/support/store/shop/outsideus.html
The online Apple Store (US) currently ships only within the 50 United States
http://www.geeks.com/faq.asp?Q=G6
Why will you not ship some products to Massachusetts, international, or APO/FPO addresses? Because a number of the products we sell
are shipped directly from manufacturers.
These products are available for shipment to the 50 US states with the exception of Massachusetts, but not to international, APO/FPO,
or US territory or possession
addresses.
-4) The relationships you have with Customs, how do I interact with them?
You will not have any relationships with customs.
-5) Do I pre-pay for the shipping cost and get reimbursed for those costs Plus the $30 fee, or do you have accounts set up for the
shipping
cost?
You will not spend your money, because all postage taxes and payments for the shipping will be in advance paid by our partners.
-6) How many packages can I expect to send/receive a week or month? What is an average salary?
7-10 boxes per week, salary 1000-1500 $ per month
-7) What is the timeframe for reimbursement?
From "Employment Agreement":
For the services rendered by the Employee as required by this Agreement, the Employer will pay to the Employee compensation at the
rate of $35 USD/each
shipped out box. The Employee receives the first payment on the thirtieth day from the date of the first shipped out box. After that
the Employee receives payment once a
month on the last day of each month while this Agreement is in force.
This is when I became skeptical and researched the crap out of this "company"
Hello (my name)!
I received your information.
Is the "(my address)" your full shipping
address, where you can accept correspondence and packages?
Please verify that any additional address information, such as apartment number, is provided.
