I'd bet my bottom dollar that those packages are either stolen or purchased with stolen credit cards.
Think about it. Why would any company doing international business have products shipped to an employee's home, then have them re-package the product and forward it overseas or anywhere else?
Why would any company expect an employee to receive/store their products at home to start with? That's just trouble looking for a place to happen.
Take your friend's advice and stay away.
And OMG you didn't give them your driver's licence did you?
In all my years of working (and I'm 51) NO COMPANY has ever asked to see my driver's licence unless I was going to be using a company car.

I just recently fell for this scam. i researched the company before signing anyhting and I couldn't find any information. I never thought to search his name. I mailed over 20 packages for him. I never had any questions asked about the packages. he was supposed to western union me over $500 which i never received. I still have his fax number, and I know it still works because i faxed him yesterday. i can't find his actual name or phone number though unless i pay for it. Who do I report this to? Does nayone have nay advice?

Well, Mr Alex continues. Recently he posted a package processing assistant job in our local newspaper as well. Obviously suspicious, I did some research and found this website as well as another one. It appears Alex--now going by Alex Teeter is at it again on the West Coast - Bend, Oregon to be exact. Only now, his business name is Parcel Force, which is a legitimate company, but when searching that sight has no mention of his name or his address. Huetauikdenzhkata 192a 08913, Kopengage, Sweden. I'm glad I researched this a little bit more--I was minutes away from faxing him my information. Currently his Fax # is 1-800-764-8508. I also found information on him at www.ripoffreport.com. It was weird because there he is listed as Global Trans Management, with the same street address above, but in Finland instead of Sweden. I'm glad I continued to research. What steps has anyone taken to report his current whereabouts? How do I do it. The job arcticle was posted mid December, here in Oregon. It's sure a shame that people like this are out there.

I took all my paper's and info to a detective and told him everything. so at least if anybody calls them they will know what is going on. he called CA and got a phone number for this place and there is a company there called All American Mailling Place. but when he called and questioned the guy he went crazy and hung up. he said he did not anything about the website. he did not speak much english but no mistake about him getting hostile and hanging up. I went because I got a phone call from a lady that had her credit card stolen, then someone ordered 1600 $ of stuff from wal-mart.com and was shipping it to my house! i explained the whole thing to her but she didn't know to beleive me or not. she said she could have me arrested but going to the sherriff and telling a detective everything and having the evidence on paper will keep me out of jail. today i got a package for someone i didn't know so i told him no such person lived here and he sent the package back to shipper. i wish they would fry the creep. if some of these people worked so hard at an honest living they would do very well.

Saw the ad in our Aspen, CO paper. The company website seemed legit, so I fell for it. I shipped about 15 packages and never received any money for it. He is going by Alex Teeter, of Parcel-Force.biz. I never sent him any information other than my address.
My friend also got into it and then started getting credit card statements with the names of people on the packages she shipped. Then she got fraud paperwork. Then a UPS account was opened in her name using someone else's credit card. I finally google'd Mr. Teeter and found this forum.
She went to the police and we gave them every ounce of coorespondence showing that we were dupped. Of course I can no longer get a response from this man, but we aren't giving up until he is caught.

While I'm here, is anyone familiar with the Zaken Corporation? Finding companies who have closeout merchandise and setting them up with the company and being paid for any successful transactions. I was interested in it whenever I have some money but afraid to spend that much money if it won't work out. Thanks!

I got duped!
He is now working under the name of Travis Spencer. And the company name: Cargo-direct.com
My suspicion arose after an email from him stating that I would receive parcels with a week and it has already been over two weeks and he has not responded to any of my emails.
I signed a contract and faxed him my DL. I am taking the appropriate measures to protect myself..i.e. filing police report, contacting the credit bureaus, FBI, etc..
I am reading everyone's messages and I am baffled that they date back to 1/2006 and it's 7/2007 and he's still not caught.
So be warned! here is the site:
http://www.cargo-direct.com/Vacancies.html
I saved all my correspondence with him and he's initial email reads like this:

I, too, have been duped. I just had the police here to ask them what to do with the packages. They told me to send them back. So far I have shipped out about 7 packages for this guy, mostly to Russia. It was a huge hassle, because of the customs packaging restrictions. I have spent my own money on packaging materials, UPS boxes to get the correct size, etc. I am disgusted. When I e-mail "Travis Spencer" now, he will NOT respond. There's a surprise!

Last night I called a credit card victim that this guy was trying to use. They did not know, yet, their credit card was being used. Thanks to THIS SITE, I think I may have saved that family lots of grief. I thought I might be able to use the information I had to stop this guy so I called the police department in the city of this victim.
Unfortunately, they can't do anything because a crime was not committed in their jurisdiction. I worked all afternoon trying to find a place to call about this and could not find a place. This is one of the problems with CC fraud - who has jurisdiction.
Thanks to this blog, though, I was able to take other steps that at least brought this organization's current fraud to a halt.
