I have got my first few package but i have not sent them out yet, Please advice me what to do. Should i alert the police, I want to quit this "job". Mr.Roberts as he calls himself wanted me to print out the agreement and sign it. the agreement is a pdf and so i cant copy the text. And like a native person I printed it out and faxed him the agreement signed. Now I WANT out, how do i Quit. Is it even a real job that i can quit? The bottom was signed by a man named Richard A Schells. PLEASE HELP ME. Also I did send him my driver licence through a scan. What should I DO?

First off, there is no "job" as the "company" does not exist, so don't worry about the need to quit or being held to agreements.

The package you have received will contain goods paid for with stolen credit cards, so whatever you do, do not send it where you are being told to. Instead, contact the police and ask them what you should do with it. Explain to them that you are the victim of a reshipping scam. If they do not know what you are talking about (which is possible for some forces), refer them to this IC3.gov page http://www.ic3.gov/crimeschemes.aspx#item-16, which explains it.

Alan is right, there is no company, no real "job" at all.

If you received the goods in the USPS mail system, call the Postal Inspectors office, make copies for yourself, then take the originals to them. You can find your local Postal Inspector's office here : http://locator.uspis.gov/locator/

The fax number and phone number are in two different counties in North Carolina, the registrant is in Georgia, and the hoster is in Latvia. The site is in the process of being reported for fraud.

Don't tell the scammers that you quit or how you found out it's a scam. Just stop answering them. Follow the advice above about returning the packages.
