The way the scam normally works is that a group of people, normally outside the US, gifts an account with gift cards purchased with various fraudulent credit cards. They then use the account to buy items and have those items shipped to various addresses. They then have the people at those various addresses forward the package to them outside the US. Sometimes, they have the item shipped to an address near one of their confederates who intercepts the package when it's delivered. The thing that surprises me about what is being described is that the items being shipped don't seem to have much value.
