Type of a scam Employment

I got an email from a manager saying they found my resume on Glassdoor and had an open work from home " Warehouse Operative" position. He emailed me the details, I looked up the company, I also found out its affiliate company " EM Global trade’ I did some online check and didn’t find any questionable issues, so I signed the contract. I was supposed to receive packages to my home address, take pictures, fulfill them then send them to customers. When I started getting the packages, they were addressed to other peoples names and being sent to different people. I also started receiving mail from the post office for different people with my address from Paypal. When i question my manager also called "curator" she said since I was still under probation, I’m working on other managers packages and all packages will come in my name after 30 days. On the PayPal mail, she said she will give me a forwarding address but never did. As per the contract I signed, my pay was $2300.00 for the 1st month and $2800.00 thereafter. My start date was 04/23/2019, when 05/23 came I was told that my check was mailed, haven’t received it yet. I contacted my curator, hiring manager, and payroll and no one will answer.

A random person reached out to me on linked in and shared a screenshot of my profile attached to a “recommendation” on the website. This person thought it was a scam and asked if it was legit. I checked it out and indeed I don’t know who or what this company is, nor have I done business with them, nor have I provided a recommendation. They used my linked in photo and made it look like I recommended their services. I suspect the other recs are false too.
