Re: [Rant] craigslist scammers Unfortunately there isn't much that be done with mailing envelope because the scammers daisy chain the mailing through a convoluted list of 'handlers' that are recruited through help want ads.
Here's an outline of how the operation works.
1. Create a UPS account with stolen credentials (UPS_July_Acct.txt)
2. Recruit "handlers" to forward UPS packages (daisychain1)
3. Create pre-printed UPS labels with the bogus UPS account that has the handlers shipping info. (handlers1.gif)
4. Ship the bogus cashiers check to a handler (handler1) along with a pre-printed shipping label of where they are to ship the bogus check (handler2)
5. Send a pre-printed shipping label to handler2 with instructions to re-ship the envelope they will be receiving from handler1 to the address on the shipping label they just received. At some point in the chain a handler will receive a mailing label with your shipping info & that's how it ends up at your address.
This routine is replayed a few times until tracking back to scammer becomes literally impossible, or not worth the effort. |
