Adcco Express (Impostors)

This is a reshipping scam, probably based in Ukraine if the WHOIS data on their domain is anything to go by (they use .ua email addresses, a Ukrainian registrar, and claim to be based in Odessa). They've copied the website and identity of Adcco Distribution and Transportation, simply replacing the contact details with their own. Here's an extract of the WHOIS data, plus my correspondence with them.

Hello,
your job will be accepting and sending parcels, their sorting, checking the contents and further delivery. For this job you should stay home during post services work hours, for sometimes you will have to accept parcels, addressed to our clients, i.e. with their name on the label. Since it is sometimes difficult to make a warrant, you would have to take the parcel directly from the postman, not in the office. We offer you $40.00 for every SENT parcel. We pay all mail expenses (package is not included).





Persons who will be accepted for this job will follow these simple instructions:



- Receive the correspondence from our company to his/her residential address

- Report to our manager about new parcels ( Every candidate will be included in manager's lists )

- Repack received items following the instructions our manager will send to you.*

- Receive prepaid shipping label. First month we offer $40,00/each shipped out box. ( In a week can be more then 10 parcels, in a month - more then 50 parcels )

- Fill the forms and papers as it will be shown in our managers instructions ( You will receive e-mail with instructions for each box ).

- Ship the package out using the specified shipping method (at this moment we use mainly EMS /every USPS office can ship it with EMS Global Express/)



* All parcels pass the control in International Package Center, we care of yours security
