Jawanza Sparks thought she had finally found the perfect work-from-home job.

Weeks later, Orlando police were knocking on her door.

“There was a box sitting on my porch with her name on it when the police pulled up. That’s what triggered them to knock on the door,” Sparks explained.

Sparks says she had no idea why officers showed up, until they explained what had really been happening. “I’m like, whoa, wait a minute, for what?” she said.

According to the Orlando Police Department, a woman had tracked a package purchased through her hacked Amazon account. That trail led police directly to Sparks’ front door.

Weeks earlier, Sparks had found a job posting on Indeed for a Salt Lake City-based shipping company called Freight Steward. The listing advertised a “Package Inspector” position with a base salary of $4,300, plus a $20 bonus for every package shipped within three hours of receiving it.

“It felt so legit,” Sparks said. “I was just like, okay, yes, I finally got a job now.”

The job came with multiple managers to report to and training videos walking her through the work. Her duties: track incoming packages, photograph the contents, print a new shipping label, and send them back out from her local post office.

“I’m thinking that the people are ordering from a website, it comes to me, and I send it out – I’m checking it for any damages,” she said.

When packages began arriving, Sparks did exactly what she was hired to do. “I did what was told. I took the pictures. And I went to UPS,” she said.

Among the items she received were a pair of Tiffany earrings worth nearly $3,000 and two boxes containing Xbox gaming consoles worth more than $2,000.

Sparks did not know the merchandise was allegedly purchased using stolen credit card information.

One box was addressed to a woman who lived down the street — the same woman whose Amazon account had been hacked. “She’s in my neighborhood. I think that’s how she was able to track it,” Sparks said.

Sparks says she was an unwitting participant. “I was the middleman for that package,” she said.

That is exactly how reshipping scams operate, companies use job seekers to receive and forward stolen merchandise, creating distance between the criminals running the operation and the stolen goods.

Sparks is not alone. News 6 found more than 100 Freight Steward complaints on the Better Business Bureau from people across the country.

News 6 attempted to reach Freight Steward with questions about its reshipping program, trying five different phone numbers. None were working.

Indeed told News 6 it has strict policies against fraudulent job postings and removes listings that violate its rules. The company confirmed it removed all job postings associated with these complaints.

Sparks explained the situation to police, who told her it was likely a job scam. She was never paid for the work she did.

She says she is still worried about what the company may have done with the personal information she provided during the hiring process. “I pray no one has bought a house in my name or opened up a bank account and it’s negative a million dollars or something,” she said.

Her experience has made her far more cautious about future job offers. “I would like a work from home. Maybe like a data entry,” she said — but now with a much closer eye on who is really doing the hiring.
