Not only a scam but also certainly something which would get you into boiling legal water.
You will be committing a serious crime if you partake in this “job”! Depending on what things you are packaging and re-delivering, you can even be sent to jail for some years for trafficking illegal things like drugs, black market currency, etc.
It’s a scam: the “unpacking and repacking of goods” part describes the fencing of stolen goods, or something equally deceptive and illegal. At some point your “employers” break off contact and vanish, and you suddenly find yourself charged with a criminal offence. And no, saying “I didn’t realize it was a scam” is not a good defence.
Since they likely got my email from a job portal, I’m concerned that these scammers are actively targeting job seekers in Germany. I’d like to report them so they face consequences. How can I report scams like this in germany ?Don’t really wanna go to police station, don’t have time for that
* It doesn’t define where exactly they have found your resume.
* It talks about “full medical insurance” as a benefit. If it would be an extra insurance as a bonus, this also would need to be described further.
Yes of course it’s a scam
Parcel mule scam.
5 days a week and 9 hours daily is the first indication. Salary is way to high for this type of work. Repacking of goods. Why? It just doesn’t make sense. Type of language used. No serious business would write this way or offer a position this way. It just is unprofessional.
No doubt its a scam.
What made you think this could be legit?
i like the way they wrote: „minimum education“. However definitely scam.
