We've been watching these ads for awhile. The dubious enterprise is this: The scammer advertises for someone to forward packages. They direct the victim to a website -- very professional.
The victim agrees to forward packages to the scammer. The scammer than buys ebay items, using the victim's address for shipping. The scammer pays for these items with bad checks or stolen credit cards.
The victim, promised a fee, forwards the hot goods to the scammer. Of course the victim pays the (nasty) shipping charges and gets paid (if at all) with another bad check.
It's a dubious enterprise at best, but now that we've gotten ads paid with stolen id credit cards, these ads are on the instant void list.
