So, I signed up! Here’s the thing: About a week or so after I signed up for my at home insurance business, I started receiving packages. They’d send me an email telling me to expect a package. The tracking number was listed in the email and when the package came my "job" was to email them letting them know that I’d received the expected package and then wait for them to send me a "new" label; once I received the new label, I removed the original label and replaced it with a new one that was sent to me by these unseen people. I’d then take the package to FedEx and ship it out! This went on for three or four weeks. I’d say in all I received and shipped about 10 packages.
I still can’t figure out the purpose because all they got from me other than my name and address was the time it took to take the packages to FedEx. I did send them a copy of my electric bill to verify my address but that’s it! There was an option to be paid via direct deposit but I chose the "receive a check" method. I guess that was my brain looking out for my dumb self. So, that’s my experience with Wenx Insurance.
