Courier Work - Scam or What?

Hey,

Have seen a couple ads here, and on other bulletins, offering courier work, some with offers of pay, others with offers of free tickets plus a little cash

Thing is, they seem kind of scammy, and always seem to ask for too much personal info.

And, if this were NOT a scam, I think I would have heard/seen something about people who had done this before, esp as a lot of folks here like to travel (including myself), and travel for FREE is even better, plus PAID travel :discodance:

So, anyone here “been there, done that”?

My money’s on a scam.

I can’t speak for this specific company, but courier travel has been around for a long time. The cases I’ve known of before don’t pay, but just give you the airline ticket. One of my acquaintances here in Taiwan has done it before, but again, I don’t know which company.

I’ve done it nationally, and it’s always gone well. Not familiar with the international mores.

Has anyone used Shappi to get stuff from the US? Or has anyone flown as a courier for Shappi? From their website, it seems they only fly to … Ecuador? The video is in Spanish
