Exactly! Not to mention that sometimes too the poor schlep that receives it is most likely a mule who's then told to ship that package to somewhere else. People fall for a lot of scams and oftentimes they defy logic. Look up mystery shopping scams to get an eyeful.
People are desperate and need money. They don't make the connection that if it's too good to be true, it most likely isn't true. I can make $1000 a week just by reshipping packages??? I'm in!! Or you mystery shop a bank. I send you a check for $5000.00. You cash it. Keep $500 for your 'pay' and Western Union the rest back to me. Ok? Um...ya right!
Check bounces & you're on the hook for the full $5000 to the bank & you've lost the $4500 that you freely sent to the scammer with no way to recover it through Western Union. that's another story but the same idea.....
