"Dear ,
Thank you for your job enquiry.
Optimal US Logistics LLC makes it easy for customers in almost any country to buy from retailers and e-commerce stores in the U.S, even when the retailer does not offer international shipping. We do this by receiving our customers' goods at a U.S. address before forwarding them on to their final destination. As well as making it possible for our customers to purchase from stores in the U.S., we also make it cheaper for them by providing the lowest shipping rates. Our customers find our service to be reliable and efficient. Our business model lets us provide this cost-effective logistics and shipping service to customers. It also creates opportunities for you to become a shipping agent.
Unlike standard logistics firms, we don't focus on running expensive warehouses. Instead, we have created a network of individual shipping agents working from their U.S. homes. Our customers' orders are delivered directly to these shipping agents from U.S. retailers. Once a shipping agent receives an order, they check it and repack it (including consolidating multiple items) before shipping the order to the customer's preferred international address.
If you meet our requirements, you will benefit from the flexibility that being one of our shipping agents brings. There is no investment required from you, you can work from home, and you can earn a rewarding income.
Details of our shipping agent requirements are below. The most important is that you need to have a U.S. address and that you must be present at that address during normal business hours.
Requirements:
• To ensure high standards of service for our customers, you can't work full time somewhere else and be one of our shipping agents at the same time.
• You must be at your designated address between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. This could be your home or a private office if you have one. You need to be at the address at these times in order to receive deliveries of our customers' orders.
• On some occasions, you will be asked to collect packages. This will be from retailers like Walmart and Best Buy or from the local office of a shipping company like USPS. All collections will be within 10 miles of your home.
• As you will need to make collections, you will need reliable transportation. You also need transportation to take customers' orders to the local post office for onward shipping to their selected destination.
• You will be required to inspect each order you receive. Therefore, you need to be thorough and careful.
• You must have a level of physical health and fitness that allows you to handle packages weighing up to 25 pounds.
• You must be able to work on your own initiative, and you must be trustworthy.
• You will need a digital camera, a printer, and Internet access.
• Logistics experience is beneficial, although it is not essential as you will start small and get training.
Duties:
• Check the expected packages daily.
• Print prepaid shipping labels for each package.
• Receive deliveries on behalf of our customers. This could be by a range of shipping carriers, but will include USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL.
• Open the outer package to inspect the item, ensuring it meets predefined quality standards.
• Take a photo of the item, and upload it to our portal.
• Combine multiple orders into a single package to reduce onward shipping costs, if required.
• Prepare items for onward shipping, including applying the prepaid shipping label to the outer packaging.
Compensation:
Our shipping agents get a monthly fee of $2,000 paid directly into their bank or PayPal accounts. This covers up to 50 packages per calendar month. If you handle more than 50 packages in a single month, you will get a $500 bonus.
You will also be paid all reasonable expenses. This includes the cost of Internet access, fuel, and packaging materials.
We will provide you with a W-2 form each year detailing taxes withheld.

I tried to look up the company a bit but didn't find much. I applied for the position and received a third email on Nov. 17, 2017 from the same [email protected] stating:
"Dear ,
Congratulations! Based on your application and completed background check, you have been awarded the Shipping/Receiving Clerk position with our company. Please log in using the login details below and fill out the necessary agreements and documents.

Below is a comprehensive list of the duties and responsibilities that are attached to this position, so please read the following information carefully. You will receive a more detailed guide from your manager as soon as you submit your signed contract via your online account. It is assumed that after you have read this document, you will have an idea of what the work entails and of our expectations from you. We do require that our staff adheres to these requirements, and deviation from them is not accepted.
Responsibilities
1. Given that deliveries can arrive at any time, we try to narrow down the times you are required to be at home by providing a daily delivery schedule. As the job requirements stipulate, you must be at your residence during standard business hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but the schedule will also inform you of packages being delivered outside of those hours, which may occasionally happen. You must check the delivery schedule every day to avoid missing any deliveries. Furthermore, you may need to pick up certain packages from local retailers (BestBuy, Walmart, etc.) or from your local USPS or UPS offices (within a 10-mile radius).
2. Every distribution agent will be assigned a direct supervisor, whose job it is to help delivery and handling run smoothly. If you have any questions or issues about your responsibilities, do not hesitate to immediately contact your supervisor via phone or email.
3. When a package arrives at your home office or private business address, you will typically need to sign for it. Our service team ensures that the products you receive are legal, safe, and paid for. Most of the goods we deal in are sporting goods, clothing, and electronic items, and all of our business partners are thoroughly vetted in terms of reputation and reliability.
4. After the package arrives, you must also ensure that it has not sustained any damage during the shipping process. As a distribution agent, you will open the outer layer of the packaging and check all of the contents for possible damage. At that point, you must also take a photo of the package contents with your digital camera and then upload the photo to your company account as the delivery confirmation.
5. For whatever reason, if you cannot be home to receive a package, the carrier will typically try to deliver it one or two more times. Following that, you will be responsible for gathering the package from the distribution center and handling it from there.
6. Once you have confirmed that the item is undamaged and have taken a photo for your records, you must repackage the item for international shipment. Our orders often require a number of smaller parcels to be combined into one larger box for simplified shipping. Prepaid shipping labels for international shipment must be printed and attached to each package; these labels are available on your company account.
7. Once the products have been repackaged and secured, simply drop off the package at the post office. You have to process the packages and send them off on the same day you receive them. If a package is delivered after 2 p.m., it can be processed and sent off the next day.
8. You should keep thorough records of all packages you handle, so store the tracking numbers of international shipments on your online account. Also retain all receipts for shipping, packaging materials, Internet access, etc., to ensure that the reimbursement process is simple.
If you have any questions or concerns, get in touch with us at [email protected], or call us at 727-260-4281.

At this point I was very skeptical just because of how fast they were offering me this job and the whole thing just seemed sketch so I did some more googling and it seems like all of these reshipping companies and jobs are a scam so I have replied back and let know them I am not interested and asked them to delete any information they have of mine if they are able.
