Premium-Delivery.com Scam Alert
Just received info about another new re-shipping work at home job scam being operated at http://premium-delivery.com at IP address 208.91.199.120. The so-called “business” goes by the name Premium Delivery Services LLC and they list the address on the website as 4015 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215. It states on the website that they were founded in 1995 and that:
Premium Delivery Services LLC, is a package delivery company with services to Eastern Europe as well as to all the countries of the former Soviet Union.
Over the years, Premium Delivery Services LLC has grown into an industry leader by focusing on the goal of connecting customers in the United States with their families, friends and businesses in Eastern Europe. This also includes e-commerce between those countries.
Today, Premium Delivery Services LLC has become a dominant force in package delivery with services to Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Our specialized transportation and logistics services to those countries lead the way as the most recognized brand in North America.
Hmm..1995? REALLY? Here’s what I found. The domain was just registered on 03/11/2015 and the website created on 03/12/2015. There is NO business called Premium Delivery Services LLC that can be found at that physical address, nor ANY address for that matter. The actual business listed for that address is a shopping center called Hill Center Green Hills that features upscale boutiques and dining. There is no business in the Hill Centers directory with this name. Seems to me if they have been in business for 20 years they would be listed in that directory, or you would at least find a physical business address listed in Google somewhere, but there is nothing listed but the website.

BEWARE! This is simply nothing but a Classic re-shipping/forwarding scam. See our previous posts Parcelal.com Scam Alert and Courier Clerk-Shipping Receiving Clerk-Correspondence Manager Scam for more information about this type of scam.
If you receive an unsolicited email offering a job as a Shipping/receiving Manager, Receiving Operator or clerk, or similar, do not respond or provide any information and most importantly do not accept the position, perform any re-shipping tasks or cash any checks or money orders they may send you as payment. These checks/money orders are usually bogus and you will be held responsible and you could also be prosecuted, because the parcels/pkgs contains items that are usually purchased with stolen credit cards and the letters usually contain actual debit cards loaded with stolen tax refunds or money stolen elsewhere.
