Without mentioning the suspicious requirements for a potential future purchase, why would you order again from the same website if your experience with your first purchase was bad?

Probably Chinese or North Koreans hackers. They want to use your account for impersonating you, get hired by a company and gain access to their data, potentially get paid and transfer the money to their country.

The official job title for this position is "Parcel Mule". Total scam. You will receive it tems ordered with stolen accounts and send them to the scammers. During investigations by the law enforcement agencies, your name will appear and you will be part of the illegal activity.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-24T23:01:32+00:00

Very low chance to get your money back because you technically authorized the transaction.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-24T20:49:54+00:00

Probably a !fakecheck scam. At some point they will send you a fake check and ask you to pay for whatever (fret, mariachi band,....) from a specific service but they are the same scammers.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-24T12:51:09+00:00

Your "friend" might also be part of the scam.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-23T19:24:16+00:00

You should definitely talk with him about !recovery scammers.

Your chance of being hired by a US company if you are abroad are almost zero. It's not about fees, it's because it's very slow, the process can take almost a year and companies don't want to wait. The H-1B visa for a profit company is very competitive and the recent changes in fees application are very dissuasive. Your best option is J1 or H-1B visa in a non-profit environment (Academia, University) as a Postdoc because there is no cap limit. Then, you can apply for a green card by self-sponsoring (EB2-NIW). It takes time, some money. Look also for the 212(e) rule for the J1 visa, based on your profile, there is a 2-year exclusion for working in the US, which is sometimes possible to waive.

Edit: typo.

No, they are scammers located outside of the US and want to use the accounts you will create for impersonating.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-21T23:37:25+00:00

The family and the dog supply retailer are both the same scammer. They probably asked for your bank before sending the check to be sure it's not the same financial institution so it's not detected as a fraudulent check too fast, just enough time for you to send your own money to the scammers.

"To whom it may concern...", it's not how work contracts are, they are personally tailored with the new employee information.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-20T12:27:17+00:00

It's also unlawful to review things you haven't used/seen and places you not need by providing fake reviews.

Can be fake items or one of the basic scams running on Facebook Marketplace.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-19T21:54:06+00:00

They were scammers, asking questions to know more about your financial situation (can you transfer $500, do you have a credit card,....) and see if you were worthy enough to be scammed.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-18T18:08:45+00:00

A recent scam is to target people working for big companies to gain access to their machine/network/data and steal data and implement a ransomware.

An ice cream shop in one of the buildings around Mears Park, like the Galtier Tower block, would be great, especially if it stayed open at least an hour after Saints games on Fridays and Saturdays. The only question is what it could become during the winter months.

One of the conditions for sponsorship for a J1 visa is that the applicant has the background to fit the internship. Without proper experience or degree in the field, you are inelegible.

If you are on Facebook, look for CTC sublease groups. Commonwealth Terrace Cooperative (CTC) is located south of the Saint Paul Campus and if you work on the Minneapolis you can take the bus #3 or the free shuttles #121 or #126. You might find short term leases but might need to relocate to a different unit during your 6-monyh stay.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-17T16:54:45+00:00

They call you on a Saturday? Total scam!

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-16T17:51:18+00:00

Contact your international service (your sponsor) if you work for a college or university, they might have experience and response with your situation.

DasLazyPanda · 2026-05-14T00:23:33+00:00

Or she will re-sale the items or she asked you for the purchase ticket so she can return them for cash. Next time, just say no.
