May 22, 2013
I was laid off from work last October. Since then besides being on unemployment I have been vigorously looking for a job. On April 19 I noticed a job with Ship-Express Inc for a shipping coordinator for which I applied to get some, part-time income. The website which I have enclosed copies of seemed legitimate and the items I was shipping were allowed legally to be shipped to these countries. I applied for the position on April 19 and spoke with John Watson from the company. On April 22 they told me they were verifying my information so I could begin my probationary period in approximately 2 days. On April 30 they notified me that the first parcel was on its way to me for me to reship. When the items arrived I removed all the excess packaging, re-insulated them, and repacked them into flat rate express boxes to be shipped within 24 hours. During my time with them I sent five shipments (two shipments with one item per box & three shipments with two items per box) to the address that they provided me. They paid me for the expense of shipping and were going to pay me $25 per shipment for the labor of repacking, filling out appropriate documents, sending in the post office, and forwarding receipts and return.
On May 11 I e-mailed them because of a Visa bill arriving at my home address to a name used on their packing slips and I asked them to stop this from happening. They assured me they would take care of this and it was an accident. On May 14 I e-mailed them again because of more bills arriving at my home address with the same name they used in their packing slips. On May 15 they let me know that this was an accident and it would be corrected. During my time with this company my instructions were that I was to log onto their site every day to check in. On Monday, May 20 the site would not accept my password and I notified them by e-mail and never received a reply . On May 21 I was called by a person named Lauren from the Dell computer company who asked me about a shipment that I had received and asked me to return it. I told her about the company I was working for that forwarded shipments. Lauren told me that this was fraud and then I was scammed on the Internet. Lauren then wanted more information and I needed to verify her identity before I felt comfortable to release the information and asked to call her back at Dell. I did call back and verified that Lauren does work for Dell. Dell left the following claim number which was 20130517-APP-15512. I have copies of all communication with this company:
- Copies of e-mail correspondence with this company
- Copies of receipts and documents for all the shipments done for this company
- Copies of the website of this company
- Copies of some of the packing slips that came with the products
- Copies of the credit card mail sent to me
- Copies of the PayPal receipts of the money forwarded to me for postage
So far I lost $250.00 from this site. Could be more. time will tell. They will not respond to my emails. My password no longer works to access. Ship-expressinc.com website remains open to prey upon more innocent victims. They are advertising for more shipping coordinators. Careful you could lose a lot of money. I have been told they are also involved in credit card & identity theft
Looks like they repurposed the Ship-Express Inc company name and changed it to SHIPPING EXPRESS CORP.

Greetings, dear applicant!
First of all we would like to thank you for your attention to our company.
My name is Mr. Steve McMillan, I am a Hiring Department specialist at PACKAGE LOGISTICS INC. Our website is www.pckglogistics.comThe primary line of our company’s activity is correspondence and distribution for customers all over the world wanting to trade on the Internet.
Why our business exists:
We offer our services to residents of different countries who want to buy and sell at Internet stores servicing the United States, European Union and Canada, but find it difficult because of shipping restrictions and complicated transactions.
As a result, thousands of people cannot easily access the huge market with high quality products at low prices, that America and the European countries have created.
Our company’s service makes buying and selling easy and possible with street addresses that can be legally used for shipping purposes.
Much like you have a friend or relative in United States or European Union, our Product Forwarding Contractors residing in these countries inspect and repackage the contents, fix the boxes and forward the packages of merchandise bought or sold on the Internet to customers in final destination countries. Also we provide guarantees and insurance service.
That is why we contract with people like you for parcel and mail forwarding. Also, we will need smart, responsible people who can be trained for management positions.

– Small electronics such as laptops, cameras, cell phones, tablets, GPS, PC components, etc.

– Small auto parts
IMPORTANT: We never offer to ship illegal or restricted for export or import materials and technologies.
All parcels are compact enough to be processed within the room of a regular-sized house.
Each address you will ship packages to – is our sorting facility. The packages are being shipped to our customers, but you don’t see their names and addresses on shipping labels. The package is being inspected and re-shipped further after it arrives at our facility.
We have several types of customers.
1. – Some of them are residents of different countries – they buy products online for themselves and use our service to.
2. – some of them are residents of United States, but they live outside of the US and use our service to receive their personal correspondence, financial correspondence like bills or invoices and buy products online.

Along with the application (shown below) attached to the email:
They’ve gone to great lengths to make this reshipping scam look legitimate but of course it’s not. You’ll be reshipping merchandise overseas to the scammers that was more than likely purchased with stolen credit cards which is mail fraud and any compensation you receive if any at all will more than likely be a fake counterfeit check or stolen funds.
What to do if You Are A Victim
REPORT MAIL FRAUD!
If you believe you’re a victim of a re-shipping/forwarding scam, file a complaint with Postal Inspectors online or call Postal Inspectors at 1-877-876-2455 (option 4, Mail Fraud).
Also report the scam at http://ic3.gov which is the official site working in conjunction with the FBI to help stop internet crime.
If you have mistakenly provided scammers any of your personal details such as your drivers license, social security number, credit card or banking information, you need to contact the 3 credit bureaus- TransUnion, Equifax and Experian, and place a fraud alert on your report. I also recommend you also get some sort of identity protection such as the services offered through companies like LifeLock-Visit Their Website Here!
I have same experience, I give my bank account details to Nikolas and my Resume. and were just talking via email and giving me instruction what should i do, they send me amount of money $2300 and they said i have 11% commission for that, in that day and told me to withdraw the money and send it via moneygram, I withdraw the $2000 only because the bank has a limit. so they told me to send the 2000 in moneygram and the rest of it they just going to put on the next order. The next day they email me again that i have a new order so they send another $2300 on my account, but unfortunately i just withdraw the 1400, i told them im going to send the 880 in the morning and they said ok. i did a research in the internet abou their company and I’ve seen that it was a Fraud, so i was so scared and i called the my bank if they can closed my account which they did, in the morning i went to the branch of my bank and tell them what happen so the bank called the Fraud investigators and they said that it was really a Fraud, so the bank look at my statements of account how much the scammer send money to me and ask me for the receipt of moneygram. so i gave it to them, the bank took all the money which i need to send to the scammer. that night the scammer keep emailing me telling me that i need to send the rest of the money which is the $880 ASAP, so i was so scared i went to the police station and report about it and that time Nikolas ring me on my phone and told me to send the money, I gave my phone to the police man so he can speak to nikolas and nikolas said that he will call a police if i wont give his money back. I am so scared maybe he will send someone and kill me. he knows where i lived!! and one thing the police told me that it was a stolen money that he keep sending me and he was using my bank account and my details. dont know what should I do im so stressed out, im such a stupid idiot
I’m so sorry you became a victim of these criminals. I know it’s a scary thing to deal with and all kind of scary things go through your mind when you realize you have been scammed especially when these creeps try to threaten and intimidate you. But I wouldn’t worry to much about them sending someone to your house since these jerks usually operate from foreign countries like Russia or whatever country they have you wire the money to. They are only interested in getting their hands on the money because they know once the money is wired and picked up on their end, you will be the one that will be held responsible for the money they stole and they walk away unscathed. However I would worry about them stealing your identity though and trying to obtain credit in your name. So you might want to get some identity theft protection.
I think I am a member of the scam. I was promised a paycheck from Finland and they also told me they were added me to their database so I can receive more packages. I have gotten paid and they are not responding to my emails I have a package here but they don’t seem to care about it. I am such a sucker
Hi,
Firstly, congratulations on the site.
I really think you should drop the “Stop Googling their names” banner.
Googling one of “their names” helped me find this site and I am a firm believer that, as far as dodgy companies / websites / job offers are concerned: GIYF – Google is Your Friend!
If we could educate every recipient of an emailed job offer to search the internet for the associated name, telephone number or email address, there would be a few less victims.
Best wishes, and keep up the good work
Tim
Thanks for the comment I agree with you about google and google has definitely been a friend to this site in which it’s purpose is to help prevent victims from various job scams. The banner is not intended to discourage using google for that purpose whatsoever. But I do see your point. 😉
