Has anyone ever been approached to do shipping for an overseas company? I got a message the other day by a company in Russia that has US distributers that wont ship overseas and they are looking for people in the US to receive packages, then ship them overseas. After asking for more info, i was told I would get emails from their company with address labels (already paid for) and all i would need to do is put the labels on boxes and take them to the post office. I would NOT pay any money out of my pocket, all postage would be billed to their USPS account. Then I would get paid every 2 weeks thru paypal or western union per package i sent out.
Anyone heard of this or is this a possible scam?

Sounds like the same thing as the people who contacted you. How did they get your number? So, I wouldn't do it if I were you.

Anytime something doesnt make sense its usually a scam.
My questions would be this:
Are you in the shipping business? If not then why are they contacting you?

Did it come from the prince son of a deposed Nigerian king? If so, then go for it!
