I too got this email and foolishly replied. The next thing I know I recieved a digital camera (from Sears) valued at 1,300.00 and was to mail it to Russia (which I did) it cost 63.00 to mail it,,,In the meantime I havent heard a word from the company (West Inc.) after sending the reciepts and other documentation to get paid for mailing. I should have keeped the camera if I would have known this was the way it would work out. When I pushed for infornatiopn on the ligitimate bases of the company and why they needed others to perform the services...here is Joe Ritters Reply:
Dear Tom!

The shipping report should look like this:

2. Quantity of shipped goods.
3. Tracking number of shipped parcel.
4. Your shipping costs (cost of shipping + package expenses)
We are very appreciate your business with us!
