This is why you don't take on odd jobs from people contacting you remotely.
If your only job is to forward packages/letters/money sent to your home address (or to pick up packages from nearby addresses) and you get a cut of the money, you're probably a mule for money laundering.
If your only job is helping others from another country (they will like about where they're actually from) get through interview/hiring processes, you're probably working with countries like this.
If they want to use your name for a job application, you don't have to do any work, and they will send you most of the paycheck, you're probably working with countries like this.
