    How did they contact you, are they making you some offer, but you have to send them money first ?

    I also received the same e-mail and was wondering the same thing. So far they are not asking for any money. I think I may reply then let you know.

    No the company is not asking for money. They got my name and information from a resume that I posted online. They want me to be a courier for their company. I can look in the package before I mail it and The company is Foreign Electronic Ruch Shipper, Inc. I cannot find anything on the computer about the company, but that doesn't mean anythng. The position is valid for U.S. residents only. Monthly you can make up to $1500.00 according to how many packages you send for them.

    I got one today also, however, all the recent talk on the news is that anytime a foreign company employs a "middle man" to ship their product for them raises a lot of red flags... money laundering for one. Channel 5 news here in the Los Angeles area has run several pieces of this very nature, and while you do receive some money for helping them, it is a scam bacause if the FBI is watching them, then you are implicated on a huge scale. Ask yourself this one question... Why can't they just mail it themselves?

    Yes, what is the reason for you to "ship for them" why are the items not being shipped to them, instead of you ?

    The contract they emailed asks for no personal information other than name, address, phone number, and DOB. It doesn't require listing SSN, bank info, etc.

    Signed on with them. They had an official looking contract and everything. What they do is ship items to you high end stuff, then have you repackage it and send it off with postage prepaid. Payday never arrives.
