Hi, I want to ask if this is a scam or a possible scam.
Someone I used to freelance for anonymously through one of the freelancing websites asked me if they could pay me to get them a bunch of mastercard prepaid cards (I assume with no currency on them) and ship them to them.
The client is telling me he'd pay me for the service of collecting and sending the blank cards to him. I didn't ask what he intends to do with them, but I fear it is something nefarious.
Is this a scam? Would I be helping someone to scam people if I did that? Something is telling me it sounds fishy... any comments would be appreciated. I don't want to do this if I will be helping someone to rip someone else off.
