Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
Our Pro Shop Told me that they would pay me to ship packages for $50 per package and $80 for every package sent the same day. They are telling me they wont pay until I ship packages but when I ship them I wont hea New York, New York
Our Pro Shop told me that they would pay me to recive and re send packages for $50 per package and an ectra $30 for every package sent within 12 hours. I have sent 19 packages and I told them I will not send another package until I recieve money for the work that I have already done. They Told me that they cannot pay me until I send all packages. I came across a report on ripoffreport.com that said they were supposed to be paid over $2000 for the same work by the same company that I am referring to.
I am still in possesion of 7 packages from Our Pro Shop and told them that I will not send these items until I recieve payment for the work that I have already done. They are telling me that they cannot pay me until I ship the packages. I fear that once I send all the packages I will never hear from them again like the other person that worked for them that made the report on RIPOFFREPORT.com.
If anyone knows what I should do or has any advice PLEASE reply to this report.
Thanksw

So you really think that a legitimate business would spend the money to ship a package to you, just for you to ship it out again. On top of that pay you $50 per package(minimum). Think about it, how long did it take you to send those 19 packages? Probably a total of 1-2 hours, but let's say you are really slow and it took 3 hours. That is an average of just over 6 an hour. Regardless of the reason they gave you, do you really think this "job" is worth $300-$480 an hour. I don't think people who smuggle drugs get paid that well.
Now, here is what is really happening. You are getting packages that either contain stolen/counterfeit/illegal items or were paid for using stolen credit card information. You are basically the "middle-man" to help hide the true source of these packages.
Here is the problem, since you have a legitimate US Address if Law Enforcement officials ever catch up to this scam, they can trace it back to you. Whether or not they will is another matter. So just hope that if they do theyhave a friendly visit with you and not a 5AM wake up call where instead of knockingon your door they knock yourdoor down thinking you are some international crime boss.
Obviously if you haven't figured it out don't send any more packages. You may also want to think about turning what packages you have over to your local police, and explain the situation. Most likely they will just take the packages and your report and let you be on your way. But if they investigate and there is something major going on you may have additional issues to deal with. Just something to think about.

The packages you are receiving are purchases made with stolen credit card numbers.
This scam has been around for a while. You could let law enforcement know, however you have been involved in criminal activity, even if you have done so unwittingly.
Think about it, why are they having you resend the packages and are willing to pay 80 dollars for that. A quick google search would have shown this for what it is. A scam.
