My question involves criminal law for the state of: Kentucky
A good friend of mine came to me for advice on a work-from-home job she had signed up for. Supposedly, they would ship her items which she would then re-package and send overseas. They would pay for postage, and $20-$30 per package for her time. After 3 weeks and 6 packages, her first paycheck never came. (Was supposedly to be delivered through paypal.) That's when she got suspicious. (Unfortunately too late)
Now, we have both done a lot of internet research which points to scammers abroad using stolen credit card information. They have the ill-gotten gains shipped to unsuspecting victims in the US who think they are just doing a job, who then send the product onto the scammers.
She has three small children and is very scared to report the activity, for fear of charges against her. I told her to file a complaint with IC3, but I don't know what retributions could/would be taken against her.
What charges could be levied against her? Should she contact an attorney prior to filing a complaint?
