"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 from home job.
00:07
With so many people out of work and stuck at home these days, such a job sounds pretty attractive.
00:13
But these jobs are not always what they appear to be.
00:16
That's the case with this classic Work-at Home scam called reshipper scams.

"They needed someone to ship packages, so I sent my information in"
00:29
"It was easy money. $16 a package."

00:50
Why wouldn't they just do it themselves?
00:52
"All I have to say is if it’s too good to be true, if it's quick money, do not fall for it."
