I'm thinking, what if I joined up. But keep the merchandise to myself and open up a small bank account. Then when people wire me the money and they ask me to forward it to their account. I just keep the money anyway and tell them I haven't received it yet. HEHEHE.:evil:

And what happens when the people they scammed the money from in the first place want it back?

Great plan... if you live in Russia... But, if you're someplace where you can be found, the FBI and everyone else will be looking for you. If you can prove you forwarded it to Russia, they may believe you were an unwilling dupe. But, if you keep it, you stole stolen money, and they're going to find it since there are good records of where the stolen money went (to you)

Good point. Perhaps forward all the items bought with stolen credit card to show that you were stupid. But keep the wired money, cause thats not stolen money. It was money used to buy goods on ebay. They'd have to link the items sold on ebay with the stolen goods that were shipped to russia. That's pretty hard to do.

heh people are dumb nowdays. Why the hell would someone wanan hire a person just to repack or forward the stuff???

Obivously anyone with a least bit of common sense would realize youre the middle person in the whole deal and that theres something shady going on.

I mean from economical point of view, if the people werent plannin on conning someon, they would deal straight with the cutomer and not hire you. Obviously you are the person that does the dirty work and makes the risk
