October 19 I received an email in response to my sending a resume for a job I saw on Craiglist for an Assistant Manager position in a Logistics Company. The email said I got the job and I will received employment documents that I needed to fill out and fax back. I was also told I would work for a month at home training for the position and make 1750 a month. I did think that was a lot of money, that about 425.00 a week to learn at home. I thought this was almost reasonable for an Assistant Manger position but it was a lot. I sent the documents and I received several emails back and not until November 12 did I get my first package. Not until November 28 after being told about the package forwarding scam while on at trip to the post office did I know this was not a real job but a scam that could make me an accessory to a crime and face a felony. I know now, looking at the website: http://www.tplglobal. Services.com, I should of been smarter, had more discernment and known "something wasn't right". I went back to the site November 29 and I attempted to send a message on the contact us page and I got the message ; destination cannot be found. That infuriates me, I should of tried this before sending the employment documents November 5. The person who I had been emailing ; David Brown was so adamant about getting the documents, I thought it was a real job opportunity. After leaving the post office I sent a complaint to the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs, FraudAid.com, the Internet Crime Complaint Center, USPS Postal Inspectors, UPS complaint website, Fed Ex Complaint website and to each of the merchants that send me merchandise. I am so scared. All of the merchandise has my name and address on it. I am scared of the FBI or police coming to my door to arrest me. I would be so scared and embarrassed. I have a clean crime record and I want to keep it that way. I know it was dumb to get in this mess but I want to let people know this is prevalent and to check the facts of any email you receive or any job or money opportunity.
This is one of David Brown's emails:

Dear Victoria
I would like to inform you that there are few changes with the
Status of our expansion that will affect the overall course of
Your employment process. As you probably already know, we did not
Establish a warehouse and office location near you yet. However
We are actively working on it and we are planning to find a
Suitable warehouse office space in December. Which means that
Stage I of employment process would go from your home. All
Training materials would be transferred via email and regular
Mail. Unfortunately it is impossible to do all of the training
Remotely, so we have to cut on the hours and our program a little
Bit.
So Stage I will be last for one month, 20 hoursweek, with salary
1750$month. Once it is complete you would be working from our
New warehouse with salary according to schedule described in
Previous email.
Learning of our Warehouse Management System as well as our
Warehouse RFID inventory system will be moved to Stage II.
If this change is acceptable for you, we would be glad
Set up an interview with you, so we can continue the employment
Process.

David Brown

Good Morning Mr. Brown,
I hope all is well. I just wanted to check on the status of my application, employment paperwork and my employment status with TPL Global Services. I look forward to beginning training and moving on to the next stage in the training process.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope you have a good day and enjoy the beautiful Texas weather.

Dear Victoria
This Monday we start the first day of stage I. There will be no
Complex tasks during this stage, and to make process of training
Even easier, I am going to provide you with written instructions
Every single step of the way. During the first two weeks your
Task is quite easy - follow the instructions, make sure that all
Packages are properly recorded, inspected, added to the log, and
Shipped in time. During the second two weeks we are going to
Concentrate more on training. We are going to supply you with
Training materials, and you will have to pass certain tests prior
To stage II.
As you probably know from our website, one of the main sources of
Our income is servicing small and medium sized Internet based
Sellers. They sell products on Ebay or through their websites,
Without ever touching their goods. We deal with the entire
Process of distribution from receiving the goods from
Manufacturer to delivery to the final user. Storage, packaging,
Customs processing is our responsibility, so our clients can
Concentrate on what is most important for them - marketing,
Promotion and expansion of their business as fast as possible
Operating with maximum efficiency.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, it seems that there will be
Little activity during the first week, the pace will pick up
During the second week. Do not worry, it does not affect your
Salary. I will be working with you for the first couple of weeks
Until you get a good grip on the basics. Later on, once you have
Access to our database, we will assign you a training manager who
Will be teaching you more advanced procedures. Your duties on
This stage will consist mostly of logging, gathering data and
Resolving minor issues that may arise with the packages like
Incorrect deliveries etc.
Right now we are expanding on a new target market - eastern Europe
And we would like to gather actual information about shipping
Risks involved for small private parties so that we can calculate
Actual insurance values. You will be instructed in detail during
The whole process. All costs are covered by the company in
Advance, you will be provided with all shipping materials and
Prepaid labels. Main purpose of Stage I is to test your
Reliability and your ability to work without constant
Supervision, while managing to complete required assignments in
Time. Before you manage someone else we would like to make sure
That you can manage your own time. You don't need significant
Storage space, most packages are small and normally you will not
Have more than 3 at a time.
Glad to have you on board, if you have any questions don't
Hesitate to write me.
Best regards, David

We've been notified about this scam and it worries us because it creates problems for legitimate companies like ours. I understand your concerns. We are aware of this situation on the market and the reasons such scam companies exist is because they are mimicking absolutely legitimate companies which are in this business for years.
As it is stated in our contract, you are getting your paycheck on December 12, but I will do my best to expedite your check. It is very late today, my assistant will call you tomorrow morning and we are going to resolve it. Don't worry, this is a temporary problem.
It is quite possible that your postmaster is a typical representative of old school brought up on concept that Russia is something dangerous. It is his point of view and he definitely has a right to have it. If there were any actual reasons to believe that something is going wrong, postmaster would hold on to all packages. Right now, he is merely expressing his point of view. Our point of view is that Russia is a prominent and promising market with great future. Are you familiar with BRIC abbreviation? It is the opposite of PIGS. BRIC is Brasil Russia India China - countries developing very rapidly with great opportunities for business. PIGS is Portugal Italy Greece and Spain - countries with greatest risks, most troubled economies. Of course Russia is risky for multiple reasons. But there is no good business without the risk. If you are uncomfortable working with Russia, I can switch you to another region. But we have to resolve problems with delayed packages ASAP or our clients will be very angry. You can use another postal office if this one is giving you trouble. As I said, if there was an actual reason to be worried, they would confiscate the goods. So right now it is merely his assumption.

Hi David.
I just got back this afternoon from my trip to Florida. I commenced work this late afternoon and proceed to go to the Post Office. I have having some concerns. I went to the post office and I was stopped by a clerk who explained to me that she has been alerted by the Post Master that there is a scam going on where people are employed to send packages to the Russian Federation, packages bought with a stolen credit card and sent to a bogus address. I can't be caught in a scandal.
Please send me payment for the work I have done so far and please explain to me why when I call the number you have given me I can not reach anyone. I have grave concerns and I feel stuck with all of this merchandise that the Post Office is refusing to accept.
Please get back to me. I have to do more home work on your company.
Sincerely,
Victoria
Hello Victoria,
Ok I will put a stop, but can you please update me. What do you mean police investigation?
On what grounds? What's wrong?

Hello Victoria,
Please provide other dispatch so we do not sink with this project.
If this postal office is giving you unreasonable trouble use another one.
The thing is that USPS is cutting about 35000 positions and this causes panic.
The result of this panic are multiple unreasonable actions and statements like this one.
What they don't understand is that they are damaging their clients' businesses, making the situation even worse.
We have to continue working as normal. It is quite possible that we have to switch to FedEx. Meanwhile, please use USPS labels, they have been already paid for.
Best Regards, David
Hello Victoria,
Please give me the badge number and contact information of police officer handling this matter.
Best Regards, David

Hello Victoria,
I must say that your behavior is very suspicious. You don't pick up the phone when we contact you, you fail to respond to our multiple emails. Reply ASAP if you don't want to be under police investigation yourself and this one will be real and substantiated.
You disappear for several days only to appear with bogus accusations. And when those are properly addressed, you continue to evade direct contact.
I am very disappointed and I hope we can resolve this soon.
Best Regards, David
