Virtual personal assistant gig asked me to inspect and forward packages from my home address
I accepted a remote position titled "Quality Control Logistics Associate" with TransContinental Cargo Care. My role was simple: receive packages delivered to my residential address, open them to inspect the merchandise, repackage them, and apply prepaid international shipping labels provided via an online dashboard. Within two weeks, I forwarded four laptops, three iPhones, and designer apparel to addresses in Eastern Europe. Then local law enforcement and a postal inspector knocked on my door: all items had been purchased using stolen credit cards from local victims, and my home was the drop address. I was unwittingly serving as a criminal package mule.
