<prompt> Human: My husband is in sales and is currently looking for work. We are in a tight spot financially where we might have to move back in with my parents, so he was intrigued when he got an email probably from LinkedIn, although his resume is everywhere from a logistics company asking him to apply for a job as a logistics agent elsewhere in the correspondence it says shipping agent. He replied with his resume and was sent an employment contract to sign. It says they will pay 2500 per mon, plus bonuses for in time performance, for him to basically send and receive packages at home. He is expected to pay out of pocket to ship the packages, and then be reimbursed. The contract they sent says he is paid once in the first month, at the end, and then every other week thereafter. The guy has a super AmericanEnglish sounding name John Davis and both emails received from him have been from different addresses. Also the company name is swapped between the email and the out of date website like Quick Shipping LLC vs Shipping Quick Ltd. When he called the phone numbers, one cut off after one ring and the other was a Google Voice that went to voicemail. I think it sounds extremely fishy, but if its a scam Im curious what the game is for these people. Honestly 2500 even once would be a big win for us right now and would allow us a little longer in our own apartment, so is there any way to do this and come out ahead?Edit: got it, its a big scam. I knew it sounded too good to be true. As some of you pointed out, why ship something to a middleman just to have it shipped again? The other thing that set off alarm bells is that this isnt related to his field of expertise at all. So basically theyre looking for anyone with a pulse or not to fall for it. Thanks everyone, you can move in to other questions now!  <response>: Ask yourself one simple question - why would it be worth 2500mo to somebody to ship a package to a random residential home, then have that person ship it to the originally intended destination? That makes no damn sense at all!Heres how the scam works1. Receive package from Scammer2. Pay for shipping with a shipping service the scammer makes you use3. This shipping service is actually in on the scam or connected to the scamer4. Receive a bad check or no check at all as reimbursement5. Check bounces6. ???7. You have now been scammed out of the money you spent on shipping
