I was recruited to become a Parcel Courier.
The job description was as follows that are posted on their web site. However when they approached me I was to be paid $2400.00 plus bonus for each package processed. They have recently changed this pay agreement. It was a definite to good to be true opportunity but I gave it a shot.

My first pay was to be processed after one month of processing shipments. When I contacted them about payment not being wired to my account I emailed them and they responded with a bank error on their side. I pushed to get them to send the money through my PayPal account.in which they sent 2 payments; one in the amount of $2000.00 and one in the amount of $500.00. I was extremly happy but then PayPal held my request for transfer of funds to my bank account.
PayPal needed more information on the request and I responded with all information the final resolution had to come from the PayPal member that funds were transferred from. I responded directly to the person that funds were transferred from with my telephone number to call me if there were is issues.
There was a huge issue the PayPal client contacted me and wanted to know why these funds were requested. I explained the payment was supposed to be for my services and UnitedBroadcasts. He told me he knew nothing about this nor the company. Also other debits against his PayPal account showed up for postage for packages from his address that he had any knowledge of.
Apparently someone had obtained by hacking or other means to get his password and information to process these debits.
He contacted PayPal and closed the account and filed a police report in case this happens again. He also suggested I do the same.
UnitedBroadcasts when confronted with this issue returned an email to me explaining this was a bank error. Which each time I addressed them with receiving my pay it was always a bank error.
I had received several packages from reputable companies with invoices the I reshipped immediately. With one exception one last package that the invoice totaled $844.00 I decided to hold it until they paid me. One of their representatives contacted me wanting me to ship package. I asked when were they going to pay me. They said funds would be sent when I mailed package I initially agreed to. But after thinking about how they had handled my pay. I sent them and email requesting they send me at least half of my pay then I would send the package since due to the problems with my pay issues. They Refused.
In my efforts to get paid and send the package to their customer I send a package out but not with the goods I received. I emailed them it had been sent and the USPS number was entered. And I waited on them to send the funds to my account. Nothing was posted. If they had posted the funds I would have resent the real package to the customer and paid for it myself. And my explanation would have been much like their's bank error or oops I send the wrong package.
They quit responding to my emails about my pay until the package was received and I am assuming they were contacted by the person in Russia.
They sent me the following email:
You have deceived our company. We have brought an action against you. We accuse you of theft. Soon to you there will arrive our employees with police and will find out a problem.
UnitedBroadcasts.
I did respond and have kept all my emails received and my responses to them from the very first contact including agreement of employment. My response was to bring it on.
At this time I will be filing a police report in case something else surfaces that could involve me.
When I first tried researching this company I found nothing negative doing google searches except for their website. I am still willing to send package I have but they do need to pay me or eventually I well return this to company with a report of possible credit care fraud.
