Law enforcement officials and the U.S. Post Office are warning of a unique scam which deals with the sending and receiving of packages. 

According to information on the U.S. Post Office website – people that have submitted their resumes on-line, are being sought out by scammers that are offering to give them part-time employment allowing them to “work from home.”  The victim then receives packages in the mail, opens them, and then reships them to a completely different name and address, often overseas.

Those packages consist of items either purchased with stolen credit cards OR they contain fraudulent money orders.  

This scam victimizes two people, the owner of the credit card and the individual that thinks they are working a legitimate job.

Anyone receiving any suspicious packages or asked to send packages on behalf of another individual or company, should contact their local post office.
