Manager: Quinn Dempsey Direct Line: (515) 295-0358 Cell phone: (515) 676-4392 Email: [email protected] Incoming Packages Supervisor: Rowan McAllister Direct Line: (515) 295-0362 Cell phone: (515)690-7723 Email: [email protected] Outgoing Packages Supervisor: Cameron Sterling Direct Line: (515) 355-0404 Cell phone: (515) 676-4556 Email: [email protected] I didn't think to do any research outside of this norm because of the emails I received, and the work of a Shipping Examiner proved to be legit starting on 2/20/2025 as I received two packages to open, examine, upload photos, print an outbound label and drop the package to either a FedEx, UPS or USPS location and upload proof of receipt the package was sent. I have participated in completing 5 packages since 2/20/2025 to 2/26/2025. I started to do some research online about the company on Scam Detector website, Reddit and BBB to learn today 3/03/2025 that StoneRiver LLC could and may be a SCAM where I unknowingly participated as a "Parcel Mule Scam" most likely involving fraudsters sending me packages and where I unknowingly shipped them out to other people by printing outbound prepaid shipping labels from StonerRiver LLC by dropping them off at FedEx, UPS or USPS. Mostly like these items were fraudulently obtained, usually with stolen credit cards I'm assuming here. All my private information was provided to StoneRiver LLC. What should I do immediately to not fall victim to future Identity theft now that very personal and sensitive information has been obtained by StoneRiver LLC? I would like additional information on what I should do going forward after reporting my fraud case.
