Additional Info
In October 2019, BBB received a pattern of consumer complaints filed against Omni Shipping Services, Inc. concerning work at home job opportunities.

Specifically, consumer complaints allege the job duties include purchasing electronic goods out of pocket, re-shipping, and then receiving reimbursement for the electronic goods plus wages. Complainants allege the business has not paid the promised wages after individuals complete the shipping agent roles assigned, and have become unresponsive.

BBB contacted the business to obtain their position. To date, no reply has been received. BBB confirmed that Omni Shipping Services is falsely representing they are Omni Shipping Service Inc. BBB spoke with the owner of Omni Shipping Service Inc, who advised: they do not even own a website; they do not offer the services this business advertises; and they maintain the proper license for their industry. BBB will continue to work with the real business to investigate any new information.

The business email address bounced back when BBB attempted to reach contact@omnishippingus.com in September 2019.

The business website domain (https://www.omnishippingus.com) was created on May 25th, 2019.

The business address at 1703 N Tampa St STE 11 in Tampa, FL does not belong to Omni Shipping Services, but is falsely advertised on their website. BBB Industry Tips:

You receive an email offering you a job at a shipping service. The company is hiring "agents" to package items and mail them overseas. The position reimburses "agents" for their expenses and pay a monthly stipend. It sounds like easy money, so you accept the job.

Soon, your first assignment arrives. You are asked to ship something - often electronics - to an address overseas. You send off the items, but your payment never arrives. You've been conned, and you may have just helped scammers move illegally obtained goods.

Watch out for variations on this scam, such as requests that could open you up to ID theft. Some victims reported sending a copy of their driver's license with their "job application," which gave scammers their name, address and photo.

How to Spot a Reshipping Job Scam:
- Be very cautious of any job that asks you to share personal information or hand over money. Scammers will often use the guise of running a credit check, setting up direct deposit or paying for training.
- If a job looks suspicious, search for it in Google. If the result comes up in many other cities with the exact same job post, it is likely a scam.
- Check out the business' website. Scammers often falsely use the names of real businesses. Check on the business's site or give them a call to confirm the position exists
