Yes, Yes, Yes, Lorel Meiss Parcel is a Russian/Ukrainian identity theft scheme that is out to getting your full information, while using you to illegally transfer their stolen merchandise to designated locations within the U.S. Upon accepting their fraudulent offer, stolen merchandises from bought with someone else’s credit card will be delivered by U.S. Postal Service, UPS, Fedex, and others to your residence. Upon notification that the package was received, a shipping label made out of either of those shipping couriers will be sent to you via email. As part of the scheme, your duty is to print the shipping label using your own resources, attach it to the package, and drop it to a nearby USPS location. Prior to shipment, you are asked to open the package upon receiving it, remove any and all price tags, and previous receipts before reshipping it. Because you are under the notion that this is a legitimate business, you are fired up to do as the scheme requires. This process will continue close to a month or thirty days. In this case, it’s time to collect your so called probationary first check. At that point, you are no longer needed as you are not going to get a cent or hear back from them. Guess what, you have just become an accessory to crime and identity theft, wire fraud, etc. Beware of their emails that usually offer some too good to be true Home-based business opportunities. Upon receiving similar emails, please forward same to the FBI http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/report-crimeor your nearest law enforcement agencies.

Below is the list of the Logistics Manager’s duties:
As you can see, our company works as intermediary
between customers and sellers on almost all big online auctions.
Purchased goods will be going through you. The reason is because for a seller from US
auction or any US shop, it is much easier for them to send the item to a US address rather than to outside the US.
And then you will forward the item to the buyer, following my
instructions. You do not need to contact any buyer or seller.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You have to forward the package during the next 1-2 business days after
it has been delivered to you and the shipping label has been provided.

Outgoing packages - for international shipments USPS only
(for domestic re-shipments - USPS or FeDex).
Both companies allow to order a Pick Up. More information you can obtain visiting their web sites.
But if the USPS office is nearby to you, you can drop the items
directly to the Post Office. It's fastest way to send the packages.
You need to collect and keep every receipt for any purchase that you
made related to our work(printer supplies, box, packaging material)
and at the end of the month provide them to me.
After i review them - this amount will be added to your payroll.
Your first payment will be when probationary period ends up - 4 weeks
from the day when 1st package was sent off from your place.
Payroll at a first week of each month.
$1,760.00 during the trial (paid after 30 days of work)
And Base Salary is $3,520.00 after the trial.
Payment could be in a form of a check, PayPal transfer or direct deposit.
You have to choose and let me know preferred method during the 4th week of trial.
In the attachment you can find an Agreement and Application form to
fill. Please print the last page of the Agreement, sign it out, scan or
make a digital photo of it and send it back to me.

additional inquiries. As soon as we process your application, you will know it!
Once this information is provided it will takes 1-5 days for you to receive
the next directions.
As soon as the information about each purchase becomes available, it will
be e-mailed to you in detail, including:
- tracking number
- link to web site where to track it
- name on a package
Also please send me verification of your ID (scanned drivers’ license or passport) in the attachment.
(you can scan it or make digital picture of it)
It is required to verify that you are who you say you are; it will be added to our database.
Without it we can't start our joint venture. Please be assured your identity is safe, and will not be used for any unlawful purpose.
