Tags: Reshipping Scams, Internet Scams, Internet Crime Prevention, Cyber Crime, IC3, Scams

Reshipping scams can leave you out in the cold. However, there are some ways that you can prevent these crimes.

	Be cautious if you are asked to ship packages to an "overseas home office."
	Be cautious when dealing with individuals outside of your own country.
	Be leery if the individual states that his country will not allow direct business shipments from the United States.
	Be wary if the "ship to" address is yours but the name on the package is not.
	Be sure to never provide your personal information to strangers in a chatroom.
	Don't accept packages that you didn't order.
	If you receive packages that you didn't order, either refuse them upon delivery or contact the company where the package is from.
