Global InformationParcel mule scam information
The parcel mule scam, also known as the reshipping scam, involves scammers and unsuspecting victims handling goods[1] to other countries. In some ways it is similar to the money mule scam. Scammers use fake advertising[2] to hire mules. Items are bought with stolen cards,[2] and since the goods are typically re-sold once shipped, this scam can be viewed as an indirect form of money laundering.
