I got this job offer via email to ship packages it's $20 per package the seller and buyer work out the details, I ship via their UPS shipping label and get $20 then if I do a good job it's $40 per package. Sounds too good to be true but unfortunately I lost the e-mail they sent me. Does anyone know the name of this company? I want to inquire further about it but I accidently deleted their information.

Im sure this is a scam. You get paid to put a UPS label on a box and take it to the UPSStore?

money laundering scam
 
sounds too good to be true like those emails to make mega money working from home.

Do you even know what is in the packages? Can it be drugs, weapons, or other illegal substances?

Why would someone pay you $20 to ship a package when they can go to the USPS or UPS Store and do it themselves?

Greetings,

My name is Mrs. Mariam Robinson, 72 yrs old widow. I got your contact information from a Christian website. I have decided to donate what I have to you. I was diagnosed with cancer of lungs few years ago, immediately after the death of my husband who has left me everything he worked. I have been inspired by God to donate my inheritance to you for the good work of God and charity purpose, i am doing this because my family are unbelievers and I will not allow them inherit this money for their own selfishness. I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ is a vanity. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. Based on the doctors reports that i might not live up to three months. My late husband family intentions is to allow me die in this condition because I do not have a child, this have made me source for a Godly person abroad who will make this claim of $10 Million dollars which is deposited in a security firm. I decided to bequeath the sum of $10,000,000.00 to you. If you are much more interested, Contact Mr. John Mayer with this specified email: attorneyjohnmayer90@rogers.com TELL: +447024043196. Inform him you are the recipient i have bequeathed $10,000,000.00 my personal reference number law/chamber/solicitors/je/ws/ WILL/98390-012. I have also notified him that I am bequeathing that amount to you by my personal decision. I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish.

Warmest Regards,

Mrs. Mariam Robinson
 
I just had an email from this young Russian girl who wants to meet me after reading my profile.....
 
Which reminds me, I need to unfriend a dozen or so idiots on Facebook who keeps sharing stupid crap like this on Facebook thinking that somebody is actually going to select their post because they are giving away $3,000,000 to somebody at random who shares or likes their post.

The overall stupidity of people amazes me.
 
While the OP's situation is likely a scam, there actually was something similar on Shark Tank a few months ago. The business basically operates on the premise that you work during the day, package delivery attempts happen when you're at work so pay a few dollars extra to have the package delivered to this company's mailbox and have someone deliver it to your house between the 5-11pm hours when you're home. Kinda of like an Uber situation for the people delivering the packages...people delivering via their own cars and getting paid for it.
