An Interesting Scam, I Have Seen Variations of This One The Boards For Many Years

[imakesugar]

I remember on OP came to the boards caught up in a scheme like this. I remember because she was pregnant. She was going crazy. She was asked to list on HER account High-end items and the Scammer said they'd sent the items Out. She was to keep a small percentage of the sale and forward the majority of the money back to them. She could NEVER pay eBay back so her account was closed. 

This scam is similar. eBay is NOT included IN THIS SCAM but very well could be put in the link.  Scammers buy high-end items on eBay, pays for the items with a stolen account/OR credit card. They have it shipped to some one who has answered an ad to reship items to family's or Foreigners  PROMISING A HIGH WAGE. Unsuspected Reshipper goes to jail!!!  

OR they have another eBay account and they list the items. They Send the label to Unsuspected Reshipper. Reshipper sends it out. ( notice that they ask the reshipper to make sure the items work? ) The Scammer then gets the money on the item sent and gets lost in the Rear View Mirror and Dust Flying.  Owner of Stolen credit card gets reimbursed by Pay Pal or Credit Corp. Reshipper goes to jail or has a lot of explaining to do.   Sugar
