		<description>I just received the same email. i suspect the trick has nothing to do with envelopes. Its about getting your banking information. Once they do, they will ping your account and your bank will send money as if you had authorized it. The fact that your bank has signature cards to verify your signature on a check seems to provide us with a false sense of security. The reality is that anyone can ping your account with the proper name, account and routing info. 

I had something like this happen a few years ago, where I found that Bank of America had been sending roughly 35 dollars per month to two "subscriptions," which I had never subscribed. When I attempted to get Bank of America to stop it, they could not/would not easily. I ended up canceling the accounts. The charges on my statement seemed to be a service/transaction charge.

Altogether, I estimate they hit me for about a thousand dollars. The other disappointment was that Bank of America refused to take action against those charging the account each month nor were they willing to replace the funds that had been sent. 

The third disappointment was that this was a checking account that I did not use normally. I became aware of the problem when I received a notice that there were insufficient funds to cover a payment. Bank of America then charged me an overdraft fee of like $50 or something. The disappointment was that they still required me to pay the overdraft fee, even though I had not authorized the payment.

Homeland Security has a site where you can forward this type of scam and surprisingly, they are very responsive. I posted an email to them and actually received a telephone call within hours. They advised me that they were already tracking and investigating this particular scam and thanked me for contacting them.

The moral of the story is: the scam is against you. 

Good Luck!</description>

		<description>It's a well known scam.  Everything seems great, you recieve the package and then forward it on via DHL, Fed Ex, etc,  And you get a slice of the pie....  That is, untill the feds show up at your door and arrest you for receiving stolen goods, as well as charging you with credit card fraud.  

The "company" is just using you as a mule so that the crime cannot be connected directly to them.  Think about it, do you really think snail mail would actually take months and months, even in the worst third world country?   If the company's "clilents" are legit, why would they even need to hire you as a go-between when they could just as easily use DHL, or Fed Ex themselves?

Here's a link that further documents how some of the internet scams opperate: (While this link discusses eBay scams,  but many of the same scams are tweeked to apply anywhere else as well)
