I accepted their position and I have been working for them for about a month. They do send you packages, just waiting to get paid to see if that part is legit.
I posted the previous comment and this is a scam! They use you to send packages for their company then they don't pay you! I was supposed to be paid on 7/15/2011 and now their phone number is disconnected, they don't respond to their email, and I can no longer log on to the work website...they are a JOKE! I am owed 1760$ for one months work and I do not expect to see it. I have no idea with to do next!
I have recently recieved an "offer" from this company that looks very similar:

The website for Best Pro Shop Systems seems legit but I don't know for sure. They have sent an employment agreement that looks legit but they could just dissapear like The Shop Imperial.
Comparing the 2 websites is very enlightening!
SCAM!

My question is to the ones who unfortunately got into the scam, did you keep any invoices from where the packakes come from? or did you see any "bill to" address and name? and if you have this proof did the police do anything about it?
Did anyone keep invoices from the previous packages they sent with address and names that they come from, and does your invoice include "bill to" name and address and if you did have this info did the police do anything about???
My bill to name and address was bogus. Even the return address was bogus so it is very difficult to track the scanners for this reason alone.
What if you have packages? Can they get you in trouble I mean its dumb on their behalf I believe due to that there is FAKE contract in between which they claim they must pay for work, as well as that the work needs to be done? Has anyone signed anything before they begun?
I saw this on CareerBuilder.com.
MAILING ASSISTANT
vvpmail@gmx.com
Job Title: Mailing Assistant
Job Type: Mon-Fri Part-Time Telecommute
Base Pay: $2500
Ref ID: DEF – 190482068493
When I inquired I got an e-mail from the following:
Bruce Brown
It contained a contract to sign & somewhat instructions written in a somewhat confusing manner.
This was the 3rd such time I've been contacted by something like this. My instincts suggested something was wrong. WHAT would be the point of receiving parcels just to forwward them on? Why couldn't people have things shipped direct? Could they be shipping ILLEGAL merchandise?
Checking online I find there seem to be a LOT of these going on, identified as SCAMS.
Oh well, one more annoyance to steer clear of...
Here is the version my wife got:
Good day, our firm "Summit Quality Solutions" has found your application in CareerBuilder database and think that your qualifications and skills would perfectly fit for the part-time position of quality control manager that we now have available.
The details are as follows:

Type of employment: Part-time
General job requirements:
* Knowledge of such programs as Adobe Acrobat Reader and Microsoft Office
* Basic knowledge of the computer
* Ability to print and scan documents
* Basic user level knowledge about household and kitchen appliances.
The job would be about doing quality control and writing reviews for new models of household and kitchen appliances.
If you meet these requirements and are interested in this part-time job opportunity, please contact us through email.
Our Human Resources Manager will contact you for an interview soon.
Received the same email from Summit Quality Solutions saying that they found my resume' on Career Builders website. I have received and remailer close to 50 packages. Talked to Pa State Police and Discover Fraud investigator today. They "hire" people to forward merchandise that they have purchased using credit cards via identity theft. They never pay the people. I have saved all records and will work with various agencies include the Secret Service since all of the items were shipped overseas via the USPS. Most to Russia. AVOID THEM!!!!!
