This post addresses fraud m customer subsidized wages through fraud in the courier industry, but exists elsewhere. In delivery and warehouse jobs, workers have easy access to customer tracking numbers and phone numbers. Some of them sell this information to scammers, creating an “invisible wage” paid for by customers who fall for the scams.This leads to adverse selection: Honest workers are effectively taking a pay cut compared to their dishonest coworkers. Over time, this shifts the workforce toward people more willing to steal and sell customer data.The company exists in an equilibrium — they only fight fraud up to the point where the cost of prevention equals the money recovered. Beyond that, they tolerate it.The people who end up subsidizing these wages are often the most vulnerable: the elderly, the desperate, and the less tech-savvy.Labor laws make it difficult to quickly remove dishonest employees.Everyone loses except those willing to sell customer data.
>>62389634Nice chatgpt thread. You should look at the companies selling cheap shit from China. They are the ones selling your tracking number directly, or have proxies where they use this information to create a realistic scenario where you should have a package coming in soon.They have websites that look exactly like the courier, say USPS, and will text 80 year old retards that the package was delayed and you need to pay 24 cents to have them take it back out. The only way the spam texts could be so accurate, and for it to only occur with shit from temu and shein, is for them to be selling the information directly. The warehouse worker spending his 12 hour shift chucking boxes ain't doing that shit on the massive level it's occurring.

>>62389644Why would Amazon have my phone number? You said "spam texts" but I've never given my phone number when ordering "cheap shit from China"
Who asked?
