Real scam examples

Reshipping role

'Quality control' role at home: receive packages, repackage, ship onward. The packages were bought with stolen cards.

App-rating tasks

Get paid to rate apps — except every batch ends with a 'deposit required to unlock higher-paying tasks'. The deposit never returns.
