Total money lost $2,500
Type of a scam Employment
Hurricane Couriers Employment is a complete scam!! They contact you via email with an employment opportunity as a forwarding agent. This position consists of receiving items other people purchase online, opening up the package inspecting for damage, uploading pictures of the products, then printing the shipping label provided by Hurricane and taking the package to the USPS. They claim that the first month of employment is your probationary period to which you will receive $2,500.00 at the end of that month and $600 every week after. They have a manager stay in contact with you at anytime throughout the first month and then when it comes time for them to pay you they block your access to their website, block your phone number from calling them, and even block your email from contacting the main office email! throughout the month they sent me thousands of dollars worth of legitimate products to forward on to other people so I though it was legit. Im going to contact the post office to inform them of the scam they are running and using the United States Post office to help do it. I have copies of every person i received mail from and forwarded to, so they will be contacted relentlessly to help me get heard by the company and if not they will be listed as conspirators on my complaint to the Attorney General!!! These people knew i was a single mom of two young girls and counted on them as my only source of income! Had i known i wouldn’t have turned down legitimate job offers!!! Please Please Please help me get a message to them by not start anything with them or use them to ship items!! These people need to be held responsible for the damage they have caused and so that no other people are hurt by this!!! There are no reports anywhere on the internet about this company’s scam they even claim the are backed by the BBB!!!! PLEASE HELP ME MAKE THIS GO VIRAL SO NO ONE GETS SCREWED OVER LIKE I DID!!!!!!!!

Type of a scam Employment
First I want to write that I went to the list of possible complaints and every one was "The BBB" doesn’t ..etc. EVERy one!
I was hired by Hurricane Couriers (contact is Godwin) to process incoming packages, take pictures of contents, reseal, apply a mailing label, mail the item, and get a copy of the mailing receipt; send this with pictures back to company. For this I was promised (by Godwin). Every day I either received a package (at home where I had to wait for the mail) or sent one out. I did exactly what was asked and most of the tie well ahead of the time allotted for me to get package back in the mail. Packages came through either UPS, FedEx, or USPS.
I was told on the first day by Godwin I would receive $2500 per month as pay; but first I had to go through a "Probationary" time period which was my first month. At the end of this time period I would receive the $2500 through direct deposit (my choice). Today is that day and I have been locked out of the company’s website. I tried to call and left messages, no response. I also tried to call Godwin and left many messages- no response. Lastly I went on their website and wrote several (10+) messages- no response. THIS BUSINESS HAS A NICE WEBSITE BUT IT IS A SCAM. NOT TO GET MONEY BUT TO (FOR REASONS UNKNOWN TO ME) DO THEIR MAILINGS. DO NOT HOOK UP WITH THIS BUSINESS. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT. The items I received, checked, and sent out is either stolen or something illegal for sure.
If nothing else they are guilty of Postal Fraud
