    1. I have been approached by two companies: Breeze Shipping in Sweden and GMX Global out of Montreal. Does anyone know if these companies are legit or part of the scam?
      I had a feeling it was too good to be true.

    1. That is awful! Are they kidding?? We were in an uproar with:
      - worthy salary and benefits (What is worthy?)
      - no entrance payments or other hidden fees (already sounds fishy)

      It's terrible that these scammers will continue to "phish" for new victims as quick as they change identities.

  9. The good thing as you stated it cost you nothing, however there was no compensation given. You might want to make sure to keep an eye on your credit from here, for not only did they have the motive to get the package out, assuming that now they have your personal information. There was a case reported of that as well. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Let us know if you come across anything else.

  15. Shipping & More llc supposedly hired me as a logistics coordinator promising a payment to my paypal after a month. Once the month was over no contact, website was under construction, and still received packages after. I was not supposed to open boxes unless they said. I did open all packages and all came with paperwork to make me believe it was real. I was out only 8.23 which was moving tape and a mailer envelope. I never sent my license as per request. I did even sign a contract. No listing in the Bbb even though originally they had the link from website. I turned everything over to my local authorities. I saved every email and scanned every label to and from in my computer.
