    It's a total scam. What they want you to ship is counterfeit, illegal, stolen, bootlegged, or otherwise something that they want YOU to get into trouble for shipping instead of THEM.

    Ignore the ad and all others like it.

    its a scam that could land you in prison. The scammers buy items on websites with stolen credit cards, then send them to your address, and expect you to resend them overseas, usually Eastern Europe or West Africa. When the card holder discovers the theft and the credit card company investigates, they find the goods ordered were shipped to your address and they contact the police who can arrest you. Its a fencing operation. Dont touch it. This doesnt make any sense, why would you repackage anything? Why wouldnt they ship the goods directly to themselves
