Parcel mule scam
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The parcel mule scam, also known as the reshipping scam, involves scammers and unsuspecting victims handling goods[1] to other countries. In some ways it is similar to the money mule scam. Scammers use fake advertising[2] to hire mules. Items are bought with stolen cards,[2] and since the goods are typically re-sold once shipped, this scam can be viewed as an indirect form of money laundering.
Example
One famous scam was organized under the "Air Parcel Express" corporate name.[3] Criminals purchased items in the United States[1] and sent them via mules[1] to Russia and Belarus,[3] where they were then sold. Items included iPods, PlayStations, smartphones, and laptops.[3]
