Then, I received a confirmation e-mail for my approval of employment, they had wanted me to print and sign a contract (I have signed, but not sent/shown -- I was never asked for it again). The contract had some grammatical errors in it and did not seem professionally written, but i also gave that a benefit of the doubt. The error seemed like something that couldve happened at my old job at a small business, and I was desperate for a job in a new state during this time. Before signing, I had pushed via e-mail to have them answer some questions for me. It was ignored the first time, with a pushback to register my employee account on their website being while also "concerned about [my] development" and "[their] door was always open". In response, I reminded them politely that I had sent an e-mail with questions, and they had responded to them all a day later.
With the employee website, where I could contact a supporting agent via their own IM system, and track the packages coming through, it seemed too complex to be a scam. I had consulted with others since the first e-mail, and everyone I had told was wary, but they had no specific reason to be, outside of a feeling. It was suspicious for a friend of mine, who noticed the New York address was definitely a lie. He had also found the original certificate, with the exact same time stamp, clearly edited with different names. With still no concrete reason to see the job as illegitimate, he advised me to move carefully and I did so by trying to capture any and all interactions. Meanwhile, he was going to stay doing detective work until his curiosity was satisfied. Regardless, I had still handed over a picture of my driver's license, and filled out and sent a photo of my information on a I-9 and W4 to the Zooksi people as requested.
After re-shipping three packages, the same friend and another had found out that Zooksi may most likely be a fraudulent system that uses stolen credit cards and identities to order items, and use people like me, to scurry the route of the packages. To my knowledge, this information was brought up to me from a list of PayPal's guidelines.
After knowing this, I immediately reported to the FTC online and possibly another institute (I do not recall), and refused to engage longer with Zooksi. I still received "tasks" to handle new incoming packages, but I am no longer able to log in. Despite this, they have recently sent a large package without my approval, as the system allows. I am not sure what to do with the package.

I filled it out (attached).
Then I was sent a link to log on to the company's website.
There was a sophisticated HR website. There was a chatroom and a chatbot asked me to complete employee verification so I could get started.
I downloaded an I-9 and W-2.
At this point, I became nervous. I googled "Stefan Wesser" and found nothing. I went to the employee agreement which said that "Zooksi LLC" is registered in New York. I called the Bureau of Corporations in New York. They said it was not registered with them. Next I called the New York County clerks office and they could not find it either. So, I did not fill out the employee verification paperwork. Instead I wrote emails to the HR and Darla.
The Darla email came back "does not exist."
No one responded to my emails to HR.
I called the phone number and it IS associated with Zooksi! I can even hit a certain button for a menu for employees. Then it says "press 2 for quality inspector" that is the job I was offered. I press "2" and then nothing happens.
This is a very sophisticated scam.
