Good money. Good money that you can make right at home.

That's what this woman thought she was getting into when she applied for a work at home job.

00:07
With so many people out of work and stuck at home these days, such a job sounds pretty attractive.

00:12
But these jobs are not always what they appear to be. That's the case with what we call reshipper scams.

Hi, I'm Andrea Avery, United States Postal Inspector.

They needed someone to ship packages, so I sent my information in

00:31
It was easy money. $16 a package.

00:35
But it wasn't. Often these scams involve merchandise that was purchased with stolen credit cards.

00:40
Some shippers even supply counterfeit postage to affix to the package.

00:44
Think about it. What legitimate company is going to send you items in somebody else's name and ask you to reship them?

00:51
Why wouldn't they just do it themselves?
