Car Wrap Job Scam: How It Works
United States, Canada, Australia, Great Britain – the car wrap advertising scam occurs now all over the world. Be careful.
Imagine this: while looking for ways to make extra money, you receive an email from a company offering the opportunity to make $300 a week, if you have your car wrapped in a well-known brand’s logo. “Our world-class partners such as Coca-Cola, Monster Energy, Dr. Pepper Advertising, XS Energy, Johnny Walker, and Budweiser will generously pay prospective clients like you”, the message says. How does the scam work?

Watch How The Scam Works:
Watch the video below to see the Car Wrapping Advertising scam exposed:
It would be great to get paid to advertise on your car but beware. The scammers who send this message also post the same offer on sites like Craigslist, Oodle, or Gumtree, create well-designed advertisements, and even contact people who submit their resumes online hunting for jobs.
The offer sounds good, especially since you have the option of removing the wrapped sticker after the number of months you select. If you accept the offer, the scammers will then send a check for a large amount of money, according to the length of time you want to be the mobile advertiser.
The instructions for cashing the check indicate that a certain portion of the money is to be kept as your payment and the rest is to be sent via wire transfer to the company who will supposedly wrap your vehicle. After wiring the money, you’ll find out that the original check was a fake and the transaction bounced. Now your bank is after you for thousands of dollars.
Watch the video below to see the scam exposed and what celebrity received the same email:
How To Avoid The Car Wrap Advertising Scam:
No major brand would hire just anybody to wrap their cars with advertising. It’s great to get paid to advertise on your car, but corporations are very careful about their image and typically have huge marketing departments within. Be very careful when you receive this email, as the message might be presented in a very professional manner.
The scammers steal images from websites belonging to reputable companies that do professional car wrapping and make you believe it’s their business. Delete the email, not every online job opportunity that comes your way is real.
Here is a series of images from a conversation one of our readers had with a scammer this week. The cheque was branded with Wells Fargo, but in your case could be any other bank.

Auto Wrap Campaign Mgr
#1 – They claim I contacted them & inquired. Wrong
#2 – Sending any $$ to an unknown person, such as me is irregular & the same from me to send any information to them.
#3. IF I kindly mark out account # on my deposit slip, how are they going to auto deposit weekly wages in my account.
If they’re trying to pray on idiots, they chose the wrong people.

Is it a scam
I too have received a few of these, and they are obv a scam, but since I am currently looking for side-hustles to get me through these next six months of school… I thought why not. Every good scam has to come from some sort of validity right lol. Sure enough, there are Marketing & Advertising Agencies/Firms, that do work with their Clients, of whom these scammers claim to represent, and depending on where you live, there could be opportunities available to you.
my husband received this text today:

yeah i just got scam too i glad i look on here before i went any further now i have to call my bank about that check everything you show me just happen to me sent them a text told them that i know you a scam and i don’t like getting played like that
I received text messages from Budlight, Budweiser, Kellogg and Red Ribbon. I responded to Red Ribbon and eventually received a check for $1950.45 and I was told to deposit it now into checking account. This was for them to advertise with car wrapping. I would get paid $600 wk. I was told by a Mr. John to deposit check, keep $600 for my 1st wk and another $50 for gas. Then he would take me step by step how to send the $1300.45 to the technician if I didn’t have CashApp or Zelle. When I told him I knew this was a scam and didn’t appreciate how they try to scam innocent ppl. I have not yet received a text back from him. It sucks, I really could of used that $$. I have been taken off work due to health issues (not covid). My health is getting worse and with the virus getting worse out there, I can’t go to the doctor.
I received a email for the same scam, CARABAO ENERGY DRINK, the instructor manager was Henry Kevin and it was regarding a car wrap. The scammers sent me a 2nd Day Priority Mail with a check for $2,850.00 Check from St. Joseph Carter 204 Hampton Drive Venice, CA. 90291, the bank was East West Bank. The mail came from Always Delivery Service LLC 2041 W. Carroll Ave. Chicago, IL 60612. If you put the two addresses together you will realize it isn’t legit. Additionally any real company would have specific instructions on the contracted agreement. I told the person texting me that he was a fraud and he threatened that If I didn’t cash the check he would call the FBI and have me thrown in jail. What he doesn’t realize is $2850.00 isn’t even a felony in the State of California. I can see where some people could be fooled, I love energy drinks and know from my experience working with other sponsored companies something was too good to be true. I have since texted this information to the subject and he is still sending me hate texts. LOL
I got a check for 2.950.00 made out to me from Affinity plus federal credit union 175 W Layayatt St Paul Min issued by MoneyGram Payment System Minnesota Mn. Re Alexander Garcia signed by Larson
I was notified by email about earning money to let Full Throttle put their logo on my vehicle. They sent me a check for $4580 to be deposited in my bank account A.S.A.P. or someone would come with law enforcement to retrieve the check. So I opened an account at a totally different bank than my usual bank. Well I deposited the check they asked if i could withdraw $4000 from it I said no it would take a week. Well in a matter of 3 days I received a notice that the check was reversed. The so called to was named Kenneth Robbson (210)319-6680. But all of a sudden he had died. Well that’s what I was told by another rep from the “FULL THROTTLE WRAP SALES REP.” Whom also said they sent me an email to tell me he has passed away. Well I pray they all pass away in an horrible way for preying on people at this time of pandemic and life changing events such as hurricanes. SO BEWARE OF THESE JACKASS CLOWNS!
Watch out for the Dr. Pepper Advertising scam!
Watch out for the Dr. Pepper decal!
Beware of the Bud Light Decal Campaign!!!
I just received an email from AMP Energy drink, scammers!. Here is the link they send over via a text message, offering 600 bucks weekly
The number used was (937) 568-6201. WATCH OUT!
Advercars was seemingly legit. They have quite a few positive Yelp reviews but they’ve been inactive for about a year and a half. They were the only real opportunity to get paid to advertise on your car I could find.
There is the possibility of going out on your own. Instead of relying on some "company" to match you with advertisers, go directly to the advertisers with your proposition.
I have attached what I got below.. it turned out fraud as I suspected… I called Kent Security and asked them about the check at which time they informed me that it was a fake. I also forwarded them a copy of the check and the packaging that I received.

I too was contacted by this person, probably through a job hunting site. First email was from Bruce Dinsmore at this email. [email protected]
Second response-automated- was from this email. [email protected]
After my second response, he told me about the Western Union thing. NOPE! I then found this site and looked up the XS ENERGY DRINK! website. I actually did the day before to make sure it was real. It is, just an Amway product. When I went back today, it has a short disclaimer about this current scam. This is the website xsgear and they tell you to email [email protected] with any suspicious or posting activities.
People like this should go join Bin Laden
Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to spread the word about this.
I received a confirmation text today in regards to an application for Monster Energy drink wrap. Said it will be delivered today and when it does get delivered to email [email protected] and text (515) 789-0774 Lawrence Hill. I’d get paid 800.00 a week. I’m not sure if it’s a scam but I’m putting this out there and I’ll revisit this page when I get more information.
Received SMS from John Peter about a Pepsi Advertising opportunity.
Received a scam email stating I would be paid $865 weekly to advertise the Carabao Energy Drink on my car.. Received calls from two seperate numbers (510) 399-5159 and 267-513-8125 both persons would not speak but you could tell it was a scam. Received several calls & emails from the two numbers above to advertise Carabao Energy H Group LLC drink on my car and be paid $865 weekly. Once I replied I was the law enforcement they stopped & numbers disconnected. Their fake email was [email protected].
Peter Fisher contacted me using my university email (not sure how his message got past the security stop that notifies me when an email address outside of the university tries to send me something) and the sender was listed as SUPerformance (SU being the initials of my university so it seemed legit) but after googling the man “hiring” me I found this article and I’m so glad I did.
Gabrielle Mulhern from Human Resources with Honeywell International contacted me on my email to use my car for CAR WRAP advertizing and be paid 600.00 a week for 3 months. Wow what a deal. I found it to be scam and never got the check. Scams seem to be coming from everywhere.
Got the Oral B Car wrap again today, after last year was the same thing.
Kronik energy drink too, watch out – crooks!!
beware of nestle auto wrap scam!
Guru Energy drink is a scam. I received my $3,900 check, told the bank to hold it in savings until it clears. A week later it’s no good. Basically anything paying more than $300/month is fake. There’s always rules to follow with every job. Businesses research people to check that they live in ideal metropolitan areas for advertising and track mileage etc You’re not going to get a large sum of money for this service.

i received this email today – beware:
Mountain Dew (stylized as Mtn Dew) is a carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman. A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth[1] in 1958. The rights to this formula were obtained by the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia.[2] William H. "Bill" Jones of the Tip Corporation further refined the formula, launching that version of Mountain Dew in 1961.[3] In August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired from Tip by the Pepsi-Cola company, and the distribution expanded across the United States and Canada.[4]
Between the 1940s and 1980s there was one variety of Mountain Dew, which was citrus-flavored and caffeinated in most markets. Diet Mountain Dew was introduced in 1988,[5] followed by Mountain Dew Red, which was introduced and discontinued in 1988.[6] In 2001, a cherry flavor called Code Red debuted. This product line extension trend has continued, with expansion into specialty, limited time production, region-specific, and retailer-specific (Taco Bell, 7-Eleven) variations of Mountain Dew.
What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness. The adverts tend to be colorful, eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it’s a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can’t avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside them. This program will last for 12 weeks and the minimum you can participate is 7 weeks.

But I had to have a BANK ACCOUNT only to deposit the checks threw my ATM DEPOSIT. Well I looked them up and it is a fraud. During the text messages back and fourth I received a phone call. That stated they were from Microsoft and there was an alert of suspicion activities . They said a third party was useing My computer IP address. They wanted me to turn on my computer.
AMP energy drink car wrap
Sent check for $2458.72 FedEx express
Got texts from 2 different #’s enquiring as to receipt of check. Received email saying to deposit check, keep $500 for pay, save $300 cash to give to installer, and send the remaider to the decsl company….
Check written on 5th 3rd Bank in Cincinnati Ohio
From Millennium Trust Company LLC out of Oak Brook Illinois…funds verification shiw the funds are tgere, and the bysiness does have an account at the bank…still waiting to see if the particular check # has been previously used…will call the comoany itself to see if yhey have any partnership with AMP energy drink that involves funding their advertisong… I seriously doubt it so into the shredder the check will go while I inform AMP that the check is fraudulent and they can go blow… they’re nose as they cry and weep to know that I may have been born at night, but not last night????
P.S. NEVER EVER DEPOSIT UNKNOWN OR UNVERIFIED BANKING INSTRUMENTS INTO YOUR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS, if they end up being fraudulent, even if you never touched the money, the Loss Prevention Department will close ALL of your accounts and end your banking relationship with them, because they don’t want to take any risks when it come to the bank’s money… so beware and be wise.

Check written on 5th 3rd Bank in Cincinnati Ohio
From Millennium Trust Company LLC out of Oak Brook Illinois…funds verification shiw the funds are tgere, and the bysiness does have an account at the bank…still waiting to see if the particular check # has been previously used…will call the comoany itself to see if yhey have any partnership with AMP energy drink that involves funding their advertisong… I seriously doubt it so into the shredder the check will go while I inform AMP that the check is fraudulent and they can go blow… they’re nose as they cry and weep to know that I may have been born at night, but not last night????
P.S. NEVER EVER DEPOSIT UNKNOWN OR UNVERIFIED BANKING INSTRUMENTS INTO YOUR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS, if they end up being fraudulent, even if you never touched the money, the Loss Prevention Department will close ALL of your accounts and end your banking relationship with them, because they don’t want to take any risks when it come to the bank’s money… so beware and be wise.Hello,

I am flexible as regards day and time.
Please know that my bank is VERY STRICT, they do NOT make funds immediately available. If anything is drawn from an out of state institution, they call to verify funds, maker, etc. and put a hold anywhere from 14-60 days in an effort to combat fraud. So I will alert you when everything clears.

There’s a posting on a Facebook yard sale site by "Sayed Sayed Mia" that says, "Hello would you allow COCA COLA Company to put a small sticker on your vehicle and get $500 Weekly.if you are interested type INFO". She posted it in Muncie Sales and Rummage.
On 4/28/19 I got a text from 522-38, they were offering me a chance to advertise Oral-B on my car with a decal wrap. Yesterday (5/11/19) I got a cashiers check from Georgia’s Own Credit Union for $1200. Name on it was Frank Johnson. The US PRIORITY mail return address was from Cody Snyder, 1003 State Route 9, Qheensbury New York. 12804-1369. With the Chechen was a photo copied letter with Oral-B logo on it. Also had instructions to deposit the check and email a copy of my deposit slip to them right away to an email address of “[email protected]”. They said that $200 was for the first week of advertising, and the $1000 was for the representative that would be installing the decal. Three different places in the letter they asked me to send a copy of the deposit slip and where to email it. They also asked me to text them at (832) 974-1752 for updates. I just sent an inquiry to the credit union listed to see the validity of the check. I’m sure is a scam. I don’t see a company sending a photo copy of a letter and a check that doesn’t mention the company name on it anywhere.
Wrap Scam from Selena Shelley 415-903-3034
Received this text message on 05/03/2019 at 3:54 am. From 973-370-0363,718-753-1142,870-8280240, 702-3342906, 573-7140814, 318-9189353, 517-410-4815, 215-520-1217, 859-797-3209, 231-534-2442, 734-604-3237, 601-462-1678, 334-494-2371, 469-509-5972, 802,839-5909, 631-807-9070, 336-317-7054, 734-330-3095, 484-889-6050, the list was at 10 phone numbers this morning but as of the time of this writeing it has increased to 19. Hi, would you allow AMP ENERGY DRINK to place decal on your car and get 400 dollars weekly? For more information visit http://bit.ly/2Y3rlnB and apply. So out of boardom i i ran the web address on my layered deathtrap desktop PC and i was redirected to a site called WUFOO by survey monkey where the form asks for your name, address, phone number, email address and you vehicle make and year. So now my suspicion is further aroused and i i run a check on the phone number that the text came from and it from and it from northern New Jersey. further investigation of the text reveals several phone numbers including New York City. so this is a flat out spam/scam text message, several of which i have received have been from New Jersey, New York, Ohio, California, Pennsylvania, etc. So be aware of this scam.
Received a text offer in a group message (all numbers I don’t recognize 207-751-3912, 207-772-8775, 207-806-6810, 207-807-6304 and 970-515-3679) so I clicked on the link (https://bit.ly/25uYzc7) to check it out. Not long after filling out the form to apply to make an extra $500 a week to wrap my car in a Rush Energy Drink advertisement I received emails from a Laura Williams and another text urging me to check my email (this time from 802-949-0171.) I was suspicious about all the grammatical errors and poor wording choices but asking me if I had a bank account and urging me not to be alarmed that the check came from an outsourced company really tipped the scales for me. So, I googled and…
Thanks so much for this article. I recently received just such a check. It came in a priority mailer with nothing more than a sheet of paper stating it was in respect to the auto/shirt wrap advert job for monster energy & instructions to contact an email address and send a cop to another as well as a number to text the name of the bank and the check amount on the check. The biggest red flag for me is that I had never heard of this, thus my search to find your article. I knew it seemed fishy to me since if I had received something legitimate, wouldn’t they know the information they were asking for? Thanks again for shedding light on the matter.

Do they tell you to wire out money BEFORE or AFTER you get started and receive a check? A student employee from my University sent out an email about Monster looking for someone for this job. I wasn’t really skeptical at first because it’s coming from someone from my University, a reliable source! But, when it comes down to the actual person I needed to email to find more about the job is when I need to be careful. I’ve been emailing the guy back and forth a little (he used a gmail account, not a company email) and the last thing that happened was that I got a confirmation letter. Now I’m waiting for him to respond back to let me know how to get my car wrapped. I don’t want to fall into a potential trap, so I think I’ll just send a message that I’m not interested anymore when he responds back.. If anyone wants an update, let me know!

Did you know that big companies spend more than 1 BILLION dollars on advertising every year?
Companies are constantly developing and improving ways to advertise their product, and they NEED someone like you to show off their ads on your vehicle.
Do you know what they need? They need YOU. That’s right… and they are willing to pay money for you to drive to work, drive to the grocery store, etc… to advertise their product.
By advertising this way, companies get their product shown to a core demographic that they are targeting!
You could make $300 a month by simply driving to work everyday! Imagine making money for something you already do all day long!.
Easy work and easy pay that could really help with the bills.
Thanks,

just rec’d the text message for that car wrap scam….on my Ont cell phone giving a gmail email address….
Just got an email from Tom’s Auto Wraps. It is the same as other emails I have received. It’s a scam so don’t bite.
I received a letter and check from Joe Cohen with American Ad Agencies. The check is fake and First Citizens Bank verified there is no account with this routing number. The scam is about Red Bull renting your vehicle to wrap their advertising on it while you drive around. Their are several different mailing addresses being used, but in a nutshell, it’s all fake. I used the internet to track down several companies at these locations, and all said Joe Cohen had nothing to do with them. On the envelope there was AAA Insurance as a return. Tony Reed ([email protected]) Regional Manager with AAA said they had no Joe Cohen with AAA. First Citizens Bank Manager Adam Dove ([email protected]) said the account number was bogus. WVCORP Claims from who the check was written on, I spoke with Beth Jay ([email protected]). She indicated they had no Joe Cohen and the check was endorsed by Michael Stafford who had retired. In a nutshell if this guy contacts you, let him send you an envelope, just don’t open it. Forward it to the FBI as this is a federal offense for figer print analysis. Hope this helps some folks!

Hector Sanchez at [email protected] reached out to offer $300 a week for wrapping a vehicle. First what legit company uses a @hotmail.com email address and who would ever believe that a company would pay anyone without a conversation of some sort! This email was for $300 a week to wrap your vehicle in a ad for Full Throttle Energy Drink. I got I. Touch with the Full Throttle Energy Drink Corp office in CA and informed them of the scam being used with their name today. My suggestion is to do your due diligence before accepting any type of payment and the old saying still holds true, if it seems to good to be true it typically is!
I replied to an ad on Craigslist to get paid $500 per month to have my car wrapped for advertising. Today, I get a text to say that there was a check being delivered, and that I should text back when I receive it. I received a check for $2,100.75. I researched before responding to say that I receive the check. That’s when I realized how this scam worked. The phone number the scammer used is (909) 454-7145.
It didn’t seem like a good idea for someone to send me a Wells Fargo check that large without meeting, or even speaking to me. They texted me to see if I received the check. I told them that I just received it. They told me to cash the check, keep $500 for my 1st week’s pay and send the remaining $1,600.67 to the specialist, so they could arrange to have my car wrapped. I played along to get them to say as much as possible, right up until, actually, taking the check to the bank.
Now there is a new scam email. It is $500 a week for iPhone advertisement!
This one is a scam!!
I received a check for 3,849.99 to wrap my vehicle. I was to take out $500 for my first payment. Once I deposit the check they wanted me to send a copy of my deposit receipt to them. That’s not going to happen.
This email is to inform you that your car(2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade ) has been approved and selected for our next set of adverts. Let it be known to you that we do not advertise any form of nudity nor adult contents, alcohol or smoking content, neither do we have anything to do with politics.The vinyl that will be placed on your car is purely consumer goods content.

On Friday, August 21st I received a check of $2,200 from Provident Trust Group, LLC and it was sent from Ontario High School in California but it has something to do with the Johnny Walker Energy Drink!! They asked for my name, street address, city, state, zip code, my age, current occupation, make of car, and a picture of my ID. He said they would work on my info and get my payment in the mail. Then says hope I can trust you with this funds lol! So he asks me to repost his posts on craigslist for 50 bucks extra then give him the links. When I posted in a few cities 2 were deleted. When I read this website I deleted the rest of them. Then put a warning on craigslist bout him. Then I text him on wed the 26th of august saying I haven’t received anything yet. Then He texts me from a different phone number on wed the 2nd of September a week later saying he was having trouble with that other phone and that my check is on the way and gave me a tracking number. So I get the check and I’m like why is it so much money I didn’t do anything. I asked him. He said the payment consists of both the payment to drive and the specialist funds to wrap your vehicle. He was very pushy on me to deposit the check. So his name is Dave Smith his numbers are (210) 263-1007 that’s the number I got off craigslist and (765) 416-1712. BEWARE OF JOHNNY WALKER ENERGY DRINK!!! THEY ARE A SCAM!!!

Ok, I’ll fill this out…. Never! Not a fool. Maybe you’ll get someone else but I pray to God you get your life right and stop ripping off people and causing hardships on them and their families. You wouldn’t want someone to do that to you and your family. God Bless You.
I was asked to advertise for a Company. The check came in the mail with my name and check number hand written.
Hello,
I am glad to inform you that your payment for the Car Advertisement has already been sent by Usps courier service and it will be delivered today, so please be on the look out for it. Here is the tracking 9405501699320048070457 and you can track it on http://www.usps.com When you receive the check, I want you to go ahead and deposit and deduct your $400, and send $1,350 to the detailer via western union , so that they can come for the installation of the decals as soon as possible. Please send the money by western union
(Money-In-Minutes) The remaining $150 should be used to pay Money Gram charges for sending the money.
Here is the detailer’s information to send the $1,350 to:
NAME : LANEE LEE BRAGGS
ADDRESS: 33 WEST AVENUE

I live in Louisiana. I contacted the bank on the check and not being surprised was told it was not any good. I responded my last email message simply with the following "NOT BORN YESTERDAY". They could not understand what I meant and wanted to know what was wrong with their check.
Reaper1962
Just received a check for $2950 in a Priority Mail envelope with absolutely nothing else in it but the check! I called the credit union that it was issued by and they had no record of it.
My daughter almost got taken in by this scam. She received a check for almost $2000 and was told to deposit it, keep $400 for her first month’s pay and $30 for gas, then wire the balance to the place that would actually do the wrap. Thankfully, she called me first and listened when I told her NOT to deposit the check or wire the money. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
I received the *Budlight* Advert on the 26th of June. I went as far as to deposit the check into my account. This was on Friday, July 3, 2015. So I was emailed by *Mark [email protected]* about how we needed to *get this done as soon as possible* Well, I was out of town for the 4th of July, so I was going to do it Monday. Got home, checked my account and the check had been returned for insufficient funds. I called my bank and they said the only thing I could do would be to file a police report. So, had I had the money in my account to cover this, I would be out $2000.00. But, little did they know that my account was very low, so I was actually using the funds over the weekend. The bank did refund some of the NSF fees, but said that was all they could do about it. I’m going to tell you…I feel about as low as a person can get for falling for this. Just don’t do it. I should have paid more attention to the email, then maybe I wouldn’t be in the position I am in, financially. It could definitely be worse, though.
Yep…glad I googled first but I’d have known as soon as they asked for money. I know better since I’ve been approached to work both sides of that scam.
I got one for Rock Star Energy Drink, but googled it before I did anything. Of course it sounded too easy to be true.
NEVER send money out of a check until it’s totally cleared from their bank.
Thanks for the info!!
This I got today and I suppose it is also fake:

I seen it on craigslist as well. Its a scam. I found it out the hard way. The guy Jefferson White said he was from Canawrap. That’s in Canada. I emailed the president of the company and sure enough he’s never heard of anyone by that name and wasn’t making that offer to put a car advertisement on cars. I txted Jefferson White back saying I talked to the president of the company. I caught him. Whoever this Jefferson White guy is said he was going to post my info on youtube saying I was a scammer and I’m not. Time to go back and fix things…Please don’t fall for this scam or any other like it.
I actually found a car wraping job on Craig’s list. I got the check today it was for 2,250.66. I am supposed to cash the check and send it to "A" car wrapping company. It did not give me a spiciffic place and I got those instructions through a text when I got the check today I opend it there was no paper work no instructions and no explanation at all. So is it a scam I looked up the bank I looked up the address from where it was sent it all checks out the only thing is I don’t wanna cash it if it’s fake and if it’s not I don’t wanna cash it cause I have no instructions on where to go to get my truck wrapped
Got a text today for Perrier wrap advert. Blocked them and will not give email.
I responded to an ad in the local newspaper for car wraps. Yes, 300 weekly. I received the paperwork with Terms and Conditions ( The words do NOT sound very professional to me) and ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER AUTHORIZATION FORM.

Has anyone else heard of any of these names????

Ad on Denver, Co Craigslist for Zip Fizz energy drink phone # 831-288-7095
I have one for Sweet Water Brewing I have the Check
I knew something was "fishy" when (April 11th) there was a request to send "cash" in the mail! Knowing full well this was a scam I called the Emergency Physicians, LLP (who suposidly "wrote out the check", datedApril 6th) for an I-Phone wrap ad). Similarly, as these others have stated, I was to cash it, take my $490 out, use $50 to mail the remainder $1,950 funds, in cash, to to "Speedway #8313 5800 S. Harlem Ave Summit IL 45117 (I’m going to look it up on Google Maps next). Then I would contacted about getting my SUV wrapped with an advertisement. How stupid do they think people are? I guess some people do get blinded by the number of dollars and easy money for this to be happening! It is a good test for getting a "Greed Temperature" from both ends.
I received a check today for $2490 from ETSU Johnson City Tn payment for a car wrap for Iphone 6
It came Priority Mail 2-Day with an electronic Rate approved number
[email protected] sent me a very similar message. I have gone all the way through to getting a cashier’s check for $2453. Rather than give my bank information I chose to open a new one, in case it was a scam. Long story short, the check is a very good fake, the "scratch and reveal" code doesn’t scratch and reveal like it should. The bank I went to refused to cash the check.
On 4/4/15 I was looking on Craigslist seattle
And saw the ad for johnny walkers wrap and responded to it, I automatically thought something was fishy, now I know better after reading the scam on here
Yipes! Am I glad I came across this web site. I answered a Craigslist job ad for advertising Zipfizz on my SUV. I better get myself out of this ASAP! I hope I can just simply send their ‘check’ back by using "RETURN TO SENDER’ and block them from my Email & text. I will talk to my credit union and maybe the post office about this. Good luck everyone & I am grateful for this web site to give us the ‘heads up’ on this nasty issue!
I received a similar ad for Monster Energy Drink. They sent me the check a few days ago- same thing. Take your $300 and sent the rest to an address in Cypress and then a local installer will be assigned to wrap your car. I told them I didn’t have a bank account, but I would cash at a check cashing place. They wrote back and said Wal-Mart was the preferred place to cash in lieu of a bank account. This is weird because wouldn’t one of those places discover the check wasn’t any good. If they cash it, then there is no damage to me, right

Almost sent my info until I decided to look into it a little further. Thank Goodness. Sometimes it is just too good to be true. Can’t believe that there are people out there that are so lazy they would do something like this. Apparently they don’t have jobs and all they have to do is sit around all day and think of ways to take peoples hard earned money. Jail isn’t even good enough for these people

Hey Stockwell I applied for a car wrap from Zipfizzy health energy drink on craigslist on Thursday 01/29/15. I got a text back from 7025360848. Then today 02/02/15 I got a check for $1600. On Friday I was told the check would b $1800.75. On the back of the check it give a cell number to finish completing your check. Also on the back of the check it say Life Line Real Estate LLC.
We had the same thing happened to us received 2300 and 510 was to pay for the wrap we called the name on the check and the bank said the checks were forged and they said they received 50 calls just today with the same thing so shredded the check but now these people have my sons address and phone # has anyone had any other issues after they exposed these dirt bags.
ZIPfizzyAd is back at it again I see…….The installer will be coming to your home to get your car wrapped okay send it through western union to the specialist information:Reciever’s Name: Bruce Bradley Address: 270 W Wentworth Street Englewood FL 34223 The rest $450 is ur first week payment Alright..are you going to complete the transaction today? (330) 999-5109 there #….. Needless to say I didn’t fall for it
I just received a check from Bullet energy for $1950…I knew something was phishy. Blocked his email, flagged the ad, registered the number under spam. Can I just throw away the check or do I sent it back?
Yes, I too received a check jan 16, 2015, from answering an add Robust energy drink. The bank teller just glanced at the check and said it was a fraud. The person keeps texting me to tell me hes on his way to wrap my car……lol.
My brother in law has been texting the guy for the ZIP FIZZY WRAP AD,they are trying to get him to print out checks to mail out,don’t know the persons name but have their number,i have been getting messages from someone for an IPHONE Wrap as well the number for it is 581-319-3818,also got one from someone wanting me to wrap my car for AT & T said his name was Mr. Bill John out of Texas and his number is 650-837-6965
I received a txt msg for coca-cola wrap from a [email protected]. They ask you to send your name and address and the yr/make/model of ur car. The nxt day they send another txt from a Montana number asking you to respond yes or no to confirm your sign up. I never responded..Two days later more txt msgs saying they’ve sent a chk for $1300 and cash it so they can set up a time to have the wrap done..sounds fishy to me..so i got the check nothing matches up with who sent it and who made it out and no water mark on the check no stub for tax purposes. Goggled the address of the bank the chk is from and guess what..NO SUCH ADDRESS…So they’ll be gettin their chk back.
There is also a "Captain Morgan Spiced Rum Spirit Drink" auto wrap job out there. Same thing as the others..sent you a Cashiers Check for $ 1850.00, wants you to cash, keep $ 400.00 and send balance to technichian to wrap vehicle. Email is from Mike Albert, [email protected]. My check came UPS overnight. Then I was to send balance to Abayomi Ashimi @ 24 Metlin Ave., Saginaw, MI 48602. Requested immediate response via email that transfer was made with reference #. DID NOT HAPPEN!! Glad I researched. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Hope this helps someone out there.

beware of emails/calls/texts from this guy. Did Tue sane thing but I made my bank put a 10 day hold on it so I wouldn’t be liable for it. Ended up being fake and he threatens with calling the authorities.
I received a 3850 check from Camo Brewing Co. for adwrapping.So beware of these people too.
WATCH OUT FOR ZIP FIZZ. SAME GUY AS ROCKSTAR AND MONSTER CAR WRAPPING. HE EVEN THREATENED TO CALL THE AUTHORITIES. I LAUGHED! ANY WAY DONT FALL FOR IT ITS ALL BS. IF ANYBODY HAS INFO ON THIS DUDE POST SO WE CAN FIND HIM AND F*#$ HIS WORLD UP. EMAILS NUMBERS ADDRESSES ANYTHING!
So i found the ad on Craigslist and it sounded good for extra money.. They send me check the next day and i get a call from some foreign guy. . His number is a Dc number but he sounds african… He tells me to cash the check and send him the 400 dollars.. so i sit on the check for a few days and he calls me… saying i know you received the check, did you cash it? I tell him yes…lol of course not…He calls back saying they haven’t received payment yet and did i send it out… I say its in the mail and he hangs up… Jokes on you buddy because i sent you the same check back…Free of charge
So Im waiting on a check from canawraps to wrap my car for T mobile. Ya right. After reading about all these scams im fully aware now!!!! I so want yo cash yhe checks and screw them over!
There was an ad on facebook similar to this. they were offering to pay $400/wk to have your car wrapped. My cousin and i both did this. they sent us both a check. his was for $80-. Mine was for $1550. They said we can keep $400 from that, and the rest needs to go to the people who are gonna wrap our car. which will be at our house, we can be present, and will take a couple days. there’s no wire transfer or anything like that. it seems pretty fishy, but I’m hoping that its the real deal. we didn’t discuss length of time for it either.

I received the check with a note and had so many questions, that I decided to nix the whole thing.
First if all, if they came out and wrapped your car….then sent you a check…why on earth would they spend all that time and money on your car ti send you a fake check?
There’s another scam on craigslist I answered an ad for carpenter wanted and next thing I know im getting emails saying I was hired as an personal assistant and they sent me a fake cashier check wanting me to cash and send most to someone in the Philippines be careful people there is alot of scumbags out there.
My daughter was approached by this guy, was very interested and also involved us. We both had Wells Fargo checks Priority Mailed to us for the amount of $1,988. We won’t cash them and will take them to the police.

Got one today from Elizabeth Anderson for Monster Energy drink. Wanted me to send to Edmaris Collazo in Daytona Beach. Facebook of her says she works at Baskin Robbins in Daytona beach and a total party girl. The address they gave me is an abandoned house in Daytona. A little research goes a long way
Yeah I received an email back from [email protected] and they told me my car was approved and such and told me they would be sending a check and blah blah. Then I looked up "Yommies" and found this nice article of how much of a scam this crap is! Shocking enough this person was texting me as well and seemed legit but looks like it’s not.
I found an idea with depositing it in my account. I deposited it, it cleared. I’m going have to ask the bank manager if they received the money from the check’s bank, because if I send out a money order from my account (what agency wants), check’s bank doesn’t have the money for it, my bank will not want to be scammed, so it will be taken out of my account and there’s nothing I can do about it since it’s already sent in money order. I’m going to ask my bank’s manager about it.
I got scamed and they sent me a check for 1950 in the mai. Good thing i did cash it
This person posted a add on Craigslist.com [email protected]. I found the offer while looking for a job. This is just beyond shocking to me. I was interested until I just read this article. I was researching it to see if it was real.
Coolie.. Problem is now you will be out of pocket for the bank fees on the bad check. Banks charge about $ 30.00 for checks that you deposit that don’t clear.
I received a check in the amount of 2200 they said
To deposit it and go get money pit cards in the amount
Of 1898 then send them the info by email I
Ripped up the check for the car wrap I’m not paying
Them to do my car wrap beware
Yeah, I’ve been through it. I just deposited the check in my account today, just to see what happens. No big deal if it doesn’t go through. I’m not going to spend any money from it. I’m going to find out in two days. If it is real, I’ll do it. Ha! Of course, I doubt it is.
Beware of the Coors Beer. Manager called Charles Pleasant!!!
Well fantastic !!
Wish I would have read this before I went to the bank !!!
I recieved $1,988 and cashed it , now thank god to this I can go get this $ out of my account.
Wow do I feel stupid !
I accepted the Yommies car rap offer for monster what should I do now no check or anything has been sent yet
I received a cashiers check for $1,985.00 delivered by UPS drawn on PNC Bank who I did call and was told they could not verify any cashiers checks drawn from their bank which really sounds like bad banking and I am receiving text messages telling me what to do with the check. I can forward all text messages to you & send you a photo of the check. Thank you, Jeff Wilken 734-765-9522
I just got a check in the mail for 2200 they been contacting me threw texts the whole time. They even contact me to see if i got it. they gave me a tracking number and everything for it.They didnt send me nothing but the check i didnt get no instructions to send it to anybody else. The car wrapping was for a german beer company. I dont know if its real or scam. I think its a scam because when i called it says person at this extension is unavailable. How can you have that on your VM and be texting on office phone. what do your think
I received this email and funds via Fed Ex also. I emailed them back asking if they were registered with the BBB and stated I would not have funds going through my acct until I was reassured this offer was legitimate.
I too had just purchased a Vanilla card so they may be connected but I used my vanilla card just fine and didn’t have any funds missing from it.
I googled the name and company that the funds were to go to. It was several elderly people.
the same thing happened to me today I found an advertisement for wrapping my car on Craigslist and texted and emailed the post just to find out that it was for bait Heinz baby food not for what it said on Craigslist and turned from 300 a week to 250 a day which I decided to look up the person name that was given to me and there was four people in America with that name. We’re all elderly so I figured that this was a fake and a huge a scam why can’t we do something about this.
got an email to get paid $500 a week to have my vehicle wrapped by red rooster energy drink for 3 months. part of the check is to be wired to at grafic artis for the wrapping. Did not get a check yet. wondering is this is legitimate
I answered a guy on heaetland swap needing pepsi wraps. Im suppose to get a check today or tomorow and it just my money. Doesnt say anytHing about sending Any other person money for wrapping. So real or scam.
My vanilla did requireemail adrress so it might be real???????
I recently bought a my vanilla debit card and had a ”john white” email me about car wrap 300 a week. But the thing is idk if its a scam seeing as I bought a my vanilla card. How would a hacker know I got that debit card? I relpyed but I don’t know what’s going to happen. I will be careful. Please help with advice. I don’t wanna get scammed .
I have a nissan murano 05 and I will like to get an extra money sponsored by monster energy drink
I received an an email supposedly from the Full Throttle Energy Drink Company.
From: [email protected]
Message: Here is a chance to earn $300.00 weekly driving around.
Here’s the link to their application: http://bjohnsoncontracting.com/throttle.drink/throttledrink/throttledrink/forms.html
I actually received something similar on my university email!! The lady, Jessica Brown, claims that she works for Blue Ribbon Beer and offers the same deal. Earning 300 a week for 3 months of wrapping my car with their logo. Unfortunately, i thought it was real, since it came to my school email and I asked for info and stuff and accepted. She kept contact with me to let me know of the procedure and emailed me about what to do once the check came. The check arrived today for $3.676.93 cents. So I went to the bank and went to deposit it, and that’s where the bank told me it was fraud: and explained the whole thing to me :/.. So I reported it to school as well as the cops. Totally fell for it but thank God bank advised me! Too good to be true!! Scam!!
Just recived a check for 1800$ on a Dallas TX. Bank looks real to bad it’s a joke it was for a Dr. Pepper warp I think they got my email thur aarp where you do all those surveys anyway beware this one came US mail so I will contact postal insp in my state then on the check I will contact the co. It was wrote on the postal insp. in that state the the state attorney generals offices in both states Texas and California with there ails address and phone # they text with and there emall…. Along with there emall a and texts they sent me and last I’m going to the newspapper greener and see if they will do a story on this to get the word out there to help other people not to fall for these low life’s …. And last I will contact DR. Pepper … So is there a real way to do a car warp for a little money each month I would really like to see my little car wrap has anyone found one……….?
I just got an email from Kevin Scott with Heinz baby food along the exact same lines.
I’ve seen this scam on a local buy swap n sell site in Australia. The advertisement read earn $500 per week to have ur car wrapped for jonnie walker..max 3 months. The email address is [email protected]……be aware..

Monster Energy Drink, make me laugh!
On Tuesday October 7, 2014 I received a check in the amount of 2,780.43 with bogus western union instructions and names to send two money grams to minus my $300 payment. I am forwarding this information as well as the check to the New York State attorney General’s office. What a bad reflection on Monster Energy Drinks because they use their name to lure and bait many victims who are looking to make extra money.

I think it is a monster energy drink decals on your car ,to advertise is a scam. Have you heard of it.
I received an e-mail from Fiden io Saucedo e-mailed that I could have my car wrapped and that I would make $300.00 per week. It sounds very good, but I started thinking ":If it sounds to good then something is wrong. The contact number for the suppose to be company is 323-366-5524.

Yup, just got one too from James Collings, from ‘Custom Auto Wrap inc’ LOL claims to represent Johnnie Walker, Apple, Hennessy… beware!!
I have been going back and forth with "Coke Zero" Car Wrap Advertisements… my check of 2,989 is being sent out today. They gave the "name" of who i sendcit to via western union OR money graham. The name is Vinett Lincome in Sacramento… im to hold 400 for myself for my first weekly check. Lol I knew this had to be BS, looking for another job im pretty sure ive gone through this similar situation about 10 times in the past 3 months… and I only use legit job sites (career builder, Indeed) so yes be weary ppl!!! Thanks for THIS PAGE
I called out this guy that I’ve been emailing back and forth and this was his response, "My name is Frank Neyland, i’m a freelance advertiser working on two years contract for Tropicana juice company on mango juice only. other people were awarded the advert of other of their products.. You may conduct a search in my name".
Of course a search of his name means nothing because I have absolutely no proof that he is who he claims to be. I’m contacting the FBI as my initial "check" is in the mail on its way to me now.
After I received the initial email from "Elizabeth anderson, (sic) Hiring Manager" ( I have never seen the term "Hiring Manager" before this, I emailed her back. It sounded too good to be true, but I was unaware at the time what a tired old chestnut this particular scam is. There was no request for any information from me that was not readily available, so I did not see any downside to checking it out.
Even then, there were some red flags – the email was unadorned with any Monster Energy Drink logos or other identifying material; the letter was poorly written, with obvious mistakes, like the one above – the lower-case last name of the "Hiring Manager," no phone number, etc.
Of course I was accepted into the program . . . a real mark of distinction, I’m sure! Today (Sept. 29), I received an email telling me that a check in the amount of $2,680.00 would arrive tomorrow, and gave me the same instructions reported by the other folks posting here.
Other than the sloppy email, one of the first things that rang an alarm bell for me was the idea that a major company was going to send me nearly $3,000.00 that I could cash on the strength of my signature alone. There was no requirement that the vendor has to sign it before it is negotiable – nothing.
Because the amount is less than $5,000.00, and I have had both personal and business accounts at the same bank for early 10 years, my bank would release the funds immediately – and, yes, then I would be on the hook for any money that was unrecoverable – meaning all of it, of course.
Some folks have written here about going somewhere other than their bank to cash the check, so that they could scam the scammers. Bad idea. First, apart from the moral problem of screwing Wal Mart, or another bank, or whomever, anyone who goes that route to negotiate the check does so with the knowledge that it is bogus – probably printed in someone’s basement.
Having that knowledge and acting on it probably makes you a co-conspirator, and guilty of both civil and criminal fraud, theft by deception, or however the statute in your jurisdiction is worded. And whoever cashes it for you might not be able to get at the original scammers, but they can sure get to YOU, because they will have your driver’s license information and whatever security video they happen to use.
The only people who won’t be hurt are the scammers – since there is no money and no legitimate bank account, they are not out by so much as a dime.
Yup, just got one from Yamaha Motor Corporation LOL
I jus received a check and was wondering can i jus cash it and screw them over?
Somebody please email me back with an appropriate opinion of this idea. Screw these guys lets scam them! can i take this check for 2,800 go to wal mart and cash it there without my bank acct, so they will be out 2,800$? yes no 🙂 email me at [email protected]
I answered an ad from "amp energy" about car wrap make $500 weekly. I actually just received the check in mail today for $989. I haven’t deposited anything and did not do so because in one of their emails they said money gram money to the artist who will put on wrap. I know for sure not to wire anything to anyone.
Here is my scammer email, from Power Brands Consulting LOL

Dear
Thank you for your swift response and your willingness to work with us, Wrap advertising is the marketing practice of completely or partially covering (wrapping) a vehicle in an advertisement or livery, thus turning it into a mobile billboard. This can be achieved by simply painting the vehicle surface, but it is becoming more common today to use large vinyl sheets as decals. These can be removed with relative ease, making it much less expensive to change from one advertisement to another. Vehicles with large, flat surfaces, such as buses and light-rail carriages, are fairly easy to work with, though smaller cars with curved surfaces can also be wrapped in this manner. Wrap advertising is available to anybody irrespective of the vehicle you drive.

Why would I need to pay the graphic artist?
I actually got scammed by these people just this month.. His name was Chris Keneth and Im in Knoxville TN. However my bank is after me and has my account on hold but FBI and TBI are on the case and hopefully it will get resolved … They have sent me 3 checks in the amount of $2550.00 One i have cashed( BIG MISTAKE) and the other 2 are in a safe. Hopefully i can get them dusted for finger prints somewhere and i can find out who really did this !!!!!
They are doing the same thing on cragislist all over the place.
received the same scam and a check for almost 2 grand, almost went to jail while trying to cash it
I can’t believe this!! I have been in contact with a Bill Watson from Power Brands in Van Nuys, CA (of course via email). WOW!! the same drive program for Monster Brands. I went so far as to call the office in CA in the attempt to verify Mr. Watson works for the company. I wanted to speak to someone in Human Resources. By law, a company can at least verify that a person works for them. Instead, I was placed into voicemail. I’ve seen cars with company logos on them in Connecticut so I thought this to be a ligitimate offer but still something didn’t feel right.
I’m grateful for this blog as it might have saved me from owing thousands of dollars and a breach to my person info.
Thanks again,
PO from CT
Thank you for putting this on here!!! You just saved my butt!! I received an email just this morning and it was sounding good!! Thanks to people like you guys maybe they won’t get away with it so often.
Thank you!!

Now they are using the Virtua Health Inc’s name to scam people. Beware!
I received the same except it was Tropicana Mango juice car wrap. The email was in broken English and not right. I took it to the Bank and they said it was a scam. Three weeks later I received another email saying a check has been sent to e for 1950.00 dollars. The persons name sending is Frank Heckard / [email protected] for the email address. Trying to rush me into cashing the check and send all but 300.00 back to some person in Florida that’s waiting to come to Michigan to put the ad on my car. I hope people read this so they don’t fall the scam. The email header / subject was Compulsory Notice.

Got another lunatic on CL. This time it is Hansens Beverage co. Car wrap scam. I went as far as getting a check on the red bull scam and verified it fake. Then I turned it in to help the cause.
Had got a check from a energy drink called power horse energy drink guy goes by the name of lamar nixon.. saw his ad on craigslist has any one dealt with this company..dont want to get scammed and have to pay back my bank..this was to advertise and have my truck wrapped..please help dont know what to do.
I just received an email from Car Decoy LLC to drive my car for 100 miles weekly and get paid $200.00 plus reimbursement for mileage. It did not sound like the best deal. I have tried to research them but could not come up with anything. I also received an email from Perrier Sparkling water for the car Wrap stating I could make $520.00 weekly. I am glad I saw this information before I responded.
[email protected]
Just got the same scam from this email
Same scam using name of Robert Miller as contact supposely for Monster Energy Drinks email comes from a hotmail address.
The lastest scam is the pit bull energy drink. His name is Brad Lien. Be aware guys!!
I was selling something on eBay and this guy ever-mailed me about it and told me that he wanted it and told me that he would be sending me the money in a check thru the mail. When I received the check It was over 2,000 and he told me to send it to someone via money gram or western union and they would be coming to get the item I was selling so I took it to the bank and had them loom at it. They told me that it was a fake check so I called the company that was on the check and they said that they had been getting a lot of calls about these checks and had a detective at their company right now about the checks, so I threw it away I didn’t even try to cash it. The way the man was talking it sounded like a scam before I ever got the check. Just don’t cash anything like this. The bank did tell me if I were to deposit it into my account if it did worm being a bad check that I would be responsible for all of the money. No one would trust someone with that amount of money if it wasn’t a scam
Below is the scam email response i got when i asked them to wrap my car from craigslist.

I got a check on Friday for 950 dollars and we called the bank the check was from and there was no account there in that name but the bank can’t release any information so when the guy called me 7 times in an hour I told him he was not legal and I turned the check in he hung up and I told the worthless check to the district attorneys office I gave them his phone number and the address on the package everything I could get on this scum bag hope he go’s to prison
So today I was very curious about it if I should join but I made some research and thankfully I came across this website about the scammers. I was also using a text free app number and not my original one. I’ve already been busted by a scammer before but not this time. Just a heads up so none of this happens to anyone else do some research about what your about to do for a certain job posting or whatever the heck it is. It truly helps!!!!

I have been told that I will be receiving a check sometime this week for the down payment for the wrap on my car and my first $400 payment. I gladly agreed to this and just a few minutes ago I received a phone call from "Autowrap" and they told me about their deal of a special "promotion" they our offering a one time fee of $9.95 and this will put my information on record. But the man told me to be aware of the other offer I had been told about for the $400 a week program. I’m still kind of confused because I read here that "Autowrap" is also a scam, so to me it sounds like 2 scam "Artist" our fighting for me to join in on their scam, but actually the one scam "Artist" helped me realize that both them and they are scam "Artist". I will try and keep up any new information I find.
WrapMatch.com is a SCAM!
Went on a roadtrip across America for 4 months – was looking for ways to make money on the road. Found WrapMatch.com – a place where they wrap your car with an ad and pay you to drive wherever.
More to the point, they claim they need to do a background check on their drivers so you have to pay them a small fee. They said they’d contact us. We knew it could take up to a month or more, so we waited. We never did hear from them again.
We don’t regularly check our bank account online since we know we’re not spending much money, but recently I looked. Turns out they’ve snuck in these $8/month charges for 4 months now!
I know it’s not much but it’s the fact that they took our credit card information to pay for a background check AND magically started charging our account while they failed to mention that it was $8/mo and it’s nowhere on their website.
The idea is that YOU make money for advertising on your own car. So why am I losing money?
Also, they don’t have their telephone number on their website or a way to cancel your account online. So we searched through some old emails to find the number. We called, and the woman claimed she couldn’t cancel our account. That’s a red flag right there. She told us we needed to email some guy named Nate – they wouldn’t give us his telephone number either. So we emailed him.
He responded, "No guarantee of a full wrap was given. The only guarantee is that you would be offered a campaign – which you were. I’m sorry but no refunds will be issued."
He proceeded by giving us a link to "request for cancellation" through a google document. The website doesn’t state that it’s $8/mo and they never mentioned it once.
We filled out the dumb form – still don’t know if it’s canceled. This Nate guy isn’t replying anymore. We’re opening up a fraud claim.
The moral of the story? WrapMatch is a scam. If you’ve stumbled across them online. They are only out to get your credit card information and sneak little charges on your account in hopes that you won’t notice. Just wanted to warn you all.
My friend’s son has been arrested last week because of this exact scam he received a check for $2000 and was supposed to keep $400 and wire them the remaining. The check was endorsed from a college in Maryland and he cashed the check thinking it was from a school, any advice his mother is trying to get a lawyer because he have text msgs from them saying the check is good and he needs to send them the remaining money which he never did but nevertheless he spent the money.
I received a check in the mail from Budweiser Select to compensate me to have the decal installed on my car and advertise the product. How do I research if this is the scam and what do I do with the check if it is?
Ya I been emailing a person name fraaz malcini and he said he was the hiring manager and said pretty much the same thing
I would like to try it
I found this in very short time after getting the email.
When will people learn if something looks too good to be true, it usually is?
Also, there are SO many scams online nowadays, i ALWAYS check any and every such offer and any product seen on TV.
You can always find out if it’s legit.
I think I may have been the victim of this scam. I’m looking to see what kind of recourse I can take to cover myself and minimize the damage done.
STEVE WALIS, subway hiring. SCAM

Thanks everyone for your comments I was just about to do it..
Dave Stanfield, Hiring Manager, is another name being used for this scam. This was presented to me as an opportunity for car wrap advertising for Monster energy drink, in which I would have a check delivered to me via Fed Ex. I was to deposit the check, keep $300 for the first week’s pay upfront, and wire the remainder of the 3,600 to someone in Owensboro, KY. Be aware everyone that this is a scam! Never should you have to wire money to someone to pay for the car wrap. If they hired someone to do this they would pay them directly. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!
i have had someone saying the same stuff. they sent me a check for 2000.00 saying they put to much on the check, then said cash it keep 380 and send the rest back. they are all scams just avoid them. thats the best thing to do once you cash the check you are responsible for the money back to the bank not them. avoid them and dont reply back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just received my check for $2869.89. Suppose to keep $400 and sent the rest to a person in TN via wire. Thought I’d reserch before going to the bank. Is there someone we contact when we receive it.
I was scammed in my email from Kathy who has a gmail account. offering $450 a week for me to put an auto wrap on my car. I receive a check for $2460.00 was told to take my first weeks pay out of the check of $450 take 50 from it and mail 1950.00 the some woman in Northridge California. of course when I took the check to my bank, and had my banker look at it she said I can guarantee to you that is check is fake. and once you send the money, the check will come back as a fraud. the bank will close your account for depositing a fake check and you will owe them the entire amount. it was for the apple I phone 6x.
don’t deposit the check take it to your police department along with the emails and have them turn it over to the FBI fraud division. it Will cash and then you will be holding the bag…
Here is the email she initially sent:

David I was also scammed by this same thing responded to ad on craigslist about wrapping car paying 450 and send 1400 to a person via money gram my bank caught the check and turned into fraud protection the person I was talking with was pissed he texted me saying he would be calling the FBI and local cia as a threat wish it was not a scam oh well
I just got scammed today !!! A craigslist add offering $400 a week to have their MIO energy logo put in my car for 3 months….. They sent me a check for $1950.00 and want me to keep $450.00 and western union the rest to some person claiming to be the car detail company…. I am leading them on to think I don’t know because I think it’s so freakin rude and they need to suffer!!! I am a single mom and really really needed some money!!! Fuckin scammers!!!! I’m pissed! I guess I should have know when they only wanted to text me from a temporary google text number…. I didn’t cash the check!! Thank God!!! Please turn these people in!!!
I have had a terrible experience with Wrapmatch. It was a total waste of money. They try for the first two weeks to find you a match. End up not finding you a match and then forgetting about you. They will not refund your money. To top it all off it is hard to cancel from them. They do not have a phone number. Therefore you can only do email. I thought I had cancelled through email but apparently my membership person and their finance department never communicate. The finance department was like not my problem take it up with the membership people. Then found out I had to fill out a form to make it official, yet still got charged. This has just been a regretful pain in the ass experience.
Just got this scam email for Diet Pepsi. Waiting for their response & will play along until they send me a check which I will kindly forward to the proper authorities for proper disposition!!!!
Just had one for RedRain Energy Drink. Same type of scam!
I think the banks are in on the scams!
I have lost to this I lost money an now I’m in ddet of 1560.00 to m y bank.
beware, samsung ad is posting on the web for the same type of deal, auto wrap, 500. per week, explained just like the article above.
Scam.
What happens if you already cashed the check at a check cashing place? WTH!!!!! Somebody please email me at [email protected]. thanks
Thanks for posting this scam! Best way to verify if a check you receive is real, is to go to any branch of the bank that issued it and verify it’s authenticity before cashing it or depositing it in your account. That’s what I did and the bank confirmed it was a forgery.
I have exposed many scanners it amuses me. One tried to get me for babysitting he seemed legit at first but once he asked can I do him s favor and he would wire me some money for a gift for his wife…Red Flag. Red flag if anyone sends you money and you haven’t even met them. If the message ends with kindest regards or best regards… scam.most of them cannot speak proper English. Their grammar is incorrect. I believe these are Nigerians
hey marck donald…your a total idiot…you cant even speak english..ya dope..i dialed your number….hmmm..no service..learn to speak english then become a scammer…like cmon !!!!
Wow I’m so happy I google search car wrap scams. I just received the check in the mail. I was beginning to have a funny feeling about it. I was really hoping it was real. I’m a single mom with three special needs kids. This would have really help me get on my feet.
Some people SUCK!!!! Get a job like the rest of the works. iPhone advertisers needed. Because of you the real thing out there no one can find!!!! Labled SCAM the minute you read the first sentence!!!!
Thanks for the info just received a check for $1250 I’m suppose to money gram money back to the same town How stupid !!
Going thru the same thing with "johnnie walker" got a bogus check for 2000 dollars. I told the gut I was giving his check, phone number and ip address to the police and sent him this page. Havent heard from him since.

I have been sent a check for 2500;that hasn’t been cashed . I do not believe them it is for car wrapping a Samsung galaxy 5 & I have asked for the Samsung ad decal department and they tell me that this is . I come up with a number from Nelson NV. Which no one answers 702-744-2684 is the # and I can not say that it is Samsung if any one has any info pleas contact me at [email protected]
just received a check priority mail in the amount of $2950.99. You can see right off the bat that it is from a personal home printer. Seems rather tempting though to go cash it. And why the f**k would I just keep $300 bucks. Sh*t, I would keep the whole thing if it was true.
The following email came from:[email protected]

I got a check for $2350 to day 7/16/2014 and it was suppose to be from Coca-Cola. I tried cashing it but soon realized it was a fraud and the phone number on the envelope was from Minnesota and the address was an Office Depot Store in Florida. The number the guy was texting me from was from Illinois. He has been threatening me all day and blowing up my phone. I reported to police as well as the FBI. He wont stop texting me and emailing me. It has been a very aggravating day and hopefully he will stop.
Here is what my bf got this morning with a check. I went online and searched for scam topics and find yours. It did sound VERY professional in email..:(
You are to take the Check to your Bank to have it cashed, if for some
reason you aren’t able to get instant cash value for it from your
bank, have it deposit for 24hours till tomorrow/next business working
day, when cash would be available. Once the payment clear into
your account, deduct $500 as your weekly wages and the rest balance
should be send via Money Gram/Western Union Money Transfer in a minute
service to the expert carrying the advert on your Car, so they can
make all the necessary arrangement for the supplies needed for the
wrap placement, and the wire charges to send the fund should be
deducted from the specialist fee not from your weekly wages. Below is
the specialist information you are require to send the fund to below;
Specialist Name:Judith E Johnson
Specialist Address: 609 Saint Lawrence Ave
Beloit WI 53511
We will like you to email the Money Gram/Western Union transfer
details for Confirmation upon completion of payment within 24hr you
receive the Check.

Bait scammers like these! I have milked many bank accounts from them by saying I won’t wire any money by western union or mg to people I don’t know. Then say, however, I will wire the money by direct bank transfer. Please give me the information to proceed. If they give you their bank account information,report it to a scam baiting forum.
my husband got a text message today about wrapping his vehicle and he would get paid $200 per week. They wanted make and year of vehicle and our email address. glad i checked this out!! as usual if it’s too good to be true then it is.
Got contacted via email from a guy named Dan asking if I’m interested in a program "Paid to Drive" advertise for Miller Light beverage. I would receive $400/week. I would receive a check and keep $800, the rest will be for the installer. Got the check on MON 07/07/14 via UPS next day air from North Dakota. The check looks real and from US bank, I went and check with US bank, and they said the check is good. I went to cash the check but they couldn’t verify the check. I then deposited to my bank. The next day the money came through for $2950. The guy then contacted me through phone introduced as wrap company, and need the money to be paid to him through western union or money gram. He needed soon so he could order supplies for the appointment this SAT. I then keep playing game along with them. I filed fraud police report online. The guy kept pushing me transfer to him, I told him I was busy working, and can’t do transfer till SAT. I asked him is there another way to do it or I can send him a check… to be updated. =). Try to bring these guys out. Meanwhile, the money is still in my bank, but I will keep it there because I’m afraid it will be reversed or something.
Hello,
Thank you for your swift response and your willingness to work with us, Wrap advertising is the marketing practice of
completely or partially covering (wrapping) a vehicle in an advertisement or livery, thus turning it into a mobile
billboard. This can be achieved by simply painting the vehicle surface, but it is becoming more common today to use
large vinyl sheets as decals. These can be removed with relative ease, making it much less expensive to change from
one advertisement to another. Vehicles with large, flat surfaces, such as buses and light-rail carriages, are fairly
easy to work with, though smaller cars with curved surfaces can also be wrapped in this manner. Wrap advertising is
available to anybody irrespective of the vehicle you drive.

I am currently dealing with a "Fred Robinson." I just caught on to the scam as we have briefly corresponded and he is prepared to mail funds immediately (which is communicated through many spelling and grammatical errors). Red Flag!

Are you still looking for a job? if yes get back to me…….
Add [email protected]. Got a check for 1900.00. For coca cola logo for the World Cup. People if it’s too good to be true, it is just that.
i got an email whose body showed as no content when i tried to read it. i put in in my scam file and the is what it says. note the from email is invalid xx@yy. and NO. disclosed recipients
=================================================
From: "Mr. X"
Date: June 28, 2014 at 2:12:37 AM EDT
To: Recipients
Subject: Wrap your vehicle and get paid (springfield)
Reply-To: [email protected]
If you have a car, truck, boat, motorcycle or any moving vehicle get it wrapped with Advertisement and get paid weekly. It will have the Company’s logo on your vehicle for 6 months. Email [email protected]… if you’re interested with your name: phone number and e-mail
I got one for the Apple Phone and realized it was a scam but not at first.
I called the police to report it and unfortunately unless there is a transaction done, and you have lost money, there isn’t anything they will do about it.
Nice that there are assholes out there ready to take advantage of a consumer and nobody cares
I just received the message from:
[email protected] and reply to: [email protected]
I was very suspicious as soon as I read the $400 per week supposed to be paid to me for three months. That is why I searched to find this site.
From surveys I applied to in the last two years I already received two checks for this sort of things. The first I took to the bank to ask if it could be verified, and they were also very suspicious but could not confirm. Because of other information I took the entire package to the post office to be investigated.
The next similar check for another "survey" I just took the Chase bank for them to investigate, but I doubt they bothered with it. I also mailed a copy of the check and information to the bank marked on the check. It was returned to me because there was no bank at that address.
marvin
I got my 3,450.00 check today lol. my wrap is for zip fizz energy drink.I may use it for toilet wiping when I run out of angel soft.
I think I’m going true the same thing,, 🙁 I already resived the check for $2500 , what do I do with the check if I don’t want to continue with this ? Would they still come to put the decal ? And do I just turn them down or what ?? Some one help !!
Hey I got one too. Was suspicious for iphone6
Check was printed funny and I also wondered why I was asked to pay
A graphics company. How should I proceed, who do I send this to.
here is the email of the one I received offering to advertise fro Budweiser. blow up his email [email protected]
I just received a message from Alex mele to place one on my car for 400 a week dose this look familiar ? Said that they would come to the house and put it on then I would get a check and I didn’t have to cash and send anything.. After reading the scam I’m not so sure .will someone tell me if it’s real ?
I got a email from ([email protected]) for a wrap on my car for 400 a week. Now do COCA offer a auto wrap for payment?
I received two checks for $2500 to be a mystery shopper. Each time I was instructed to deduct my $300 "salary for the assignment" +$35 for the amount I was to spend at Wal Mart. I was then to wire transfer the remaining amount ($2165) to the next address on the list (there were about 5 names and addresses to make it look official). I knew it was a scam but went to the bank to see what they’d say and the agreed it would mostly bounce. I took the letter, check and return envelope to the local Sheriff’s office and they just said to tear up the check/s…no interest in finding out who and where this came from. I then called the bank in Pennsylvania where the checks allegedly originated and was told someone or a group somehow got their template and was generating checks from a false non existing account. Sad that so many parties know these scams exist and can be so damaging but no one seems to wasn’t to do anything. They all shrug their shoulders and do nothing. Sad
me too I got a check for 2330.00 and they want me to keep 300.00! dont cash its a fedral offense and you will be the one goin to jail for fraud!
I just got this response from one "Monster Energy" employee (??) Thank you, thank you, for making this information available. Glad I had the foresight to check them out first.

surfaces can also be wrapped in this manner and will be removed immediately the wrapping period end with your car colour

emailed back saying would not send cash thru mail as directed as I got a check today for $2460.00 told them No longer interested will mail check back will NOT BE CASHING THIS CHECK . Is there any agency to contact and let them know about the scam?
Stop , this car wrap is a scam, here is monster Energy Drink telephone # 1-866-322-4466, let’s all stop these scammer. Call the company and let them know all the email address you are getting it from they are on to them
So what if you took it to a check cashing place?
My check in on its way from IPhone. 450.00 a week, which will be "OUT-SOURCED to an agency" and when I received the check I "will have it deposited and when the Check clears which will be in a day or two, you are to deduct your $450 and the rest will
be going to the Specialist that will be responsible for the Advert placemen"
I also received this same email, and of course knew it was a scam. Unfortunately there are too many unsuspecting nuckleheads that have GREED tattooed to their forehead that will deposit the check and send them the balance only to find out that it is all a fraud. Be smart people, none of these companies send out blind emails for such stuff.
i have received one but they have their own site autowrapadvertising ,, and he sent me an email which has that @autowrap
is that mean this one is scamer also ?
I have a check here also and its for $2960.79 the check has a bank name on it and the bank actually exist, can you believe the lengths these people are going through to scam people, amazing.
I received a check for $2967.54 without any further instructions, just a check. Then UPS came back 30 minutes later to take the check back… WTF?? You’d think these scammers would be better organized. My email was from address [email protected] her name was Jessica Brown and she text me from 646-535-8874 pretending to be a MillerCoors rep.

Knew it was a scam, but needed to help get the word out.
Beware of emails from "Monster Energy Drink".
#1 A company will NOT use "free" email addresses
This one from Monster used [email protected]
[email protected]
#2. Instead of requesting Western Union or some other wire service. They are requesting that you use Green Dot.
A legit company will NEVER ask YOU to pay a provider of a service. These big corporations have contractors all over the world and pay them directly.

I received a "Wrapped advertisement" offer for Starbucks. I even checked with my insurance company who looked up to see if my insurance coverage would cover that. They said no issues with insurance. But when I said I was interested and they said they would send me a check and I keep the first payment, I got suspicious due to the fact of taxes on the car wrapping payment so I goggled "Starbucks advertising car wrap" and I got the SCAM hit. Thank you for being out there for me and others who might be interested in a simple $400 a week to advertise. I will tell my Insurance provider also.
I received a check for 2500.00 from Lipton Tea, $300.00 upfront payment and the rest will go to the company that will wrap my vehicle. Then I will receive 500.00/per week until I decide not to have the wrap on my car.
How do I know if this is legit or not?
Cheerwine scam now on Craigslist Asheville NC
I got the same thing from iphone. will pay $450. a week. Did not deposit check then got a threatening email saying they would turn me over the the FBI.
Please do not fall for this scam. There has to be a why to stop this.
I already did everything and today i lost all my money. I rang bank and looking forward they could help me. I was supposed to support my studies and my needy family with that money but its all gone now. I cant do anything…. I was so happy and excited that I will be able to support my family better with this money but its all over now…
I have the same offer from Yamaha and they call me for Veola Brandt indicate me he send the cheq and do exactly what we read here and also have the name Amanda Kirk. doing the same. WATCH OUT people.
Well I don’t know WrapMatch is to actually advertise for but I can let everyone know about my brief experience with them.
I am very disappointed in Wrap Match. I joined a while back and before we got the chance to wrap our vehicle I got into a severe car accident. I email WrapMatch about the accident and asked that they remove my account. I was also unaware that I had joined a premium service. This could have been my misunderstanding since I had been on medication and do not remember the entire call. Needless to say that yesterday I found that WrapMatch was still charging my bank account 7.99 monthly for premium services. I contacted them about the situation only to be told that there was nothing they could do about the charges but that they would terminate my account. This is morally wrong since I sent an email requesting that my account to be terminated shortly after the accident. I feel they owe me my money back as this is a deceitful business practice. If you have had a positive experience with them great but I can tell you that even if you can’t drive due to circumstances out of your control you may still have your account charged monthly for services you have cancelled and it is close to impossible to get those charges back.
Yes I received the same scam for TOMS. The person said he was hiring manager for TOMS after much research found that the hiring manager for TOMS is a woman. He even had the slogan wrong.
Sad people can’t be trusted. I was promised 3 pair of TOMS when I inquired about that I was told I wasn’t serious.shame.
I just received the same email from [email protected]. This one was for Samsung Galaxy S5 advertising. It was obvious that this wasn’t real mainly because of all of the grammatical errors. These large companies such as Samsung have large marketing and advertising departments that are in charge of these things and would never allow an email to go out with such a large amount of spelling and grammatical errors.
Everyone should be very leery of these kinds of scams.
I fell for this scam. I didn’t think twice about it being fake, but I guess I should if know it was fake when they said the send the extra money to another place. I actually took the check to the bank and everything. I went to the bank to see why the check wasn’t deposited into my account and they said that the check was a fraud check. Now I think my account will be closed. The check looked so real. I know better now. I guess we should listen when people say if it’s to good to be true it is. I’ve learned my lesson. Is there anything that can be done about this kind of thing?

I received a check today in the amount of $1950.30. I then called the trust company and they said it was not one of their checksthen I called Citibank to see if funds were available. This is a fraudulent check.
Add [email protected] to the list of scammers. Just got the same offer to wrap vehicle for power are for 12 weeks at $300 per week if I cash certified check and send balance via western union to graphics company. If it was legit then they would have paid graphics company not me. Why would you have to pay any local company with western union? We work hard to make a living and these people try hundreds of ways to rip us off daily. Keep you eyes open and wallet closed.
I received a check for 2,350.00 and was told to deposit it. It should only take a day or two to clear. Once cleared deduct 30.000 and immediately go to CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens or Office Depot Stores with the cash to purchase 3 $500.00 Vanilla Reload Network (Scratch Cards) for 1,500.00. The QDR Graphics Specialist would be receiving soon so they need me to pay them since time is running out and promotion starts next week. This check was through CITIBANK, N.A. New Castle, DE the name on the check is TACS. I went so far as to ask them where could I cash the check and then deposit. I was told this check could be only be deposited into my account. The scam artist email name is [email protected]
TO MAKE SURE I DONT GET SCREWED I DIDNT GO TO
MY BANK CASHED IT… I WENT TO CHECK CASHING
PLACE TO CASH IT……
I received a similar email from "Gulf Oil" trying to do the same type of car-wrap.I always thought if it seems to good too be true, it usually is. I will give it to them though, nice try!
I got a email stating Budweiser was looking for cars to wrap. I was very excited to earn some easy money. Thank goodness my Mom told me to check it out before I gave any information about a checking account. I am so disappointed.
DAH.
I HAVE RECIEVED A CHECK FOR $2250.00 I KNOW THIS IS BULL HOW CAN THEY STOP THE SCAMMERS

Dear Applicant
Thanks for your prompt response, It is Very Easy and Simple with No
Application fees required : Here’s how It works – The basic premise of
the "paid to drive" concept Energy Drinks seeks people — regular
citizens, not professional drivers — to go about their normal routine
as they usually do, only with a big advert for " Energy Drinks Advert
" plastered on your car.The ads are typically vinyl decals, also known
as "auto wraps," that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and
which will cover any portion of your car’s exterior surface
What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of
exposure and awareness.The auto wraps tend to be colorful and
eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it’s a form of
advertising with a captive audience,meaning people who are stuck in
traffic and can’t avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside them. This
program will last for 3 months and the minimum period you can
participate is 1 month.
You will be compensated with a $450 (four hundred dollars per
Week),which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company
use the space. Energy Drinks shall provide Experts that would handle
the advert placing on your car.You will receive an up front payment of
$450 (four hundred fifty dollars) inform of check for accepting to
carry this advert on your car and other weekly payments will also come
in the form of checks and delivered at your address weekly.
The following information below will be needed

Almost got me Robert Miller. Well played sir. The Post Office disposed of the mail because it was "perishable".
Received the $300/wk offer from Glen Hovey at SK Energy Drinks. I even received the check showing it was drawn off of Chase Bank and it was sent from a NY address. He then starting sending me text messages to my cell phone asking me to let him know "the moment" I deposited the check. I replied to his text that I was actually going to send it back becaise I didn’t believe it was legitimate and he told me to just "trash it" he would void the check. Definitely not a professional.
have just received one for "Red Bull" from [email protected] and I thought,"That’s not the only Bull with this offer."
Was to send $1050.00 to :
Janet Anderson – 130 M St. NE – Washington, District of Columbia, 20002
after I deducted my first weeks pay!
I had a similar email for XS energy Drink and they said they would send the money through Chase Quick Pay.
What happens if you cash the check at a check cashing company and not involve your bank at all? You have the $2000+ cash in hand…what can the scammer do now?
I received a 2400.00 dollar check for this car wrap stuff I kinda thought it was a fraud, check looks quite real but it smelled fishy . This check came from
MINKING -USA INC
15322 E VALLEY BLVD
CITY OF INDUSTRY CA 91746
CATHAY BANK
701 south Atlantic blvd
MONTERERY PARK CA 91754
WOuld you please tell me if this guy by the name of Michael Sterling from custom auto wrap USA is a good guy to do business in the auto wrap industry. He said to open an account with no money and forward him that information so he can deposit the checks.
Need your experience.
I just received a message from Micheal Sterling from Custom Wrap USA offering 400/wk to wrap my car in Apple, Pepsi or Hennessy logos. Stop the madness! People are trying to get ahead legally. I pray every predator gets caught
I received two $925.00 postal money orders that I took to the post office and the postal inspector verified that they were real. Now I don’t know what to do with them (didn’t cash them).
if the money clears, how is it a scam. You are covered by your bank.
I also was emailed from Glen Hovey about wrapping my vehicle and am sitting here with a $2,410.00 check….what a bummer
My message was from a guy named Jonathan Ronaldo who said he received my resume off Craigslist for a CAREGIVER position , he asked for my name and address so he could send me 200 up front for the job, he then sent another email saying his secretary made a mistake and issued the cashiers check for $2200 and he wants me to cash the check, and take out the 200 and sent the rest (cash to a " rental agent" : Taichi Kondo
3218 Little meadow
San Jose, Ca. 95129
I have not received the check yet, but my husband has thought from the start of these emails that this was a scam. This guy Jonathan Ronaldo sent me a tracking #. I’m glad I found your site. now I know, and I won’t be cashing the check, but will be calling the police instead
I just received a email about budwiser looking for cars to be wrap.the person leaving the email his name frank thomas. email is [email protected].
I CALLED THE SOB MANAGER ON THE PHONE WITH A COUPLE OF SIMPLE QUESTIONS. OH BOY, HE COULDN’T ANSWER THEM WITHOUT HEE HAWING AROUND THE WHOLE QUESTION. NO STRAIGHT ANSWER. NO WAY, BUD. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND SEARCHING PEEPS, YOU WILL GET SCREWED.AS SOON AS THE CHECK GOES INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT THEY GOT YOUR MONEY, SINCE THE CHECKS IS A FRAUD ANY WAY. SO GUESS WHO GETS STUCK WITH All the fees etc, etc.
Well I am glad I researched this before I did something stupid. I just received the check and I am going to contact the police about this scam just to see what they can do. I just read all the comments about how they went about contacting each of you and what they said and I received the exact email that all of you did. I hope that I can get someone interested in trying to stop this from happening to anyone else.
Wish me luck, thank all of you
I just received my check in the mail, as you will find the whole thing is a scam and the way they mail it is don’t how FedEx mails. I shredded the checks.
I received a similar email from Suzuki Motors last week and I also responded I was interested.
I knew it was a scam when they notified me that they were going to send me a check for the $350 plus money for the technician.
Same type of scam but for a different company …not a wrap o a vehicle but some sort of shopping scam …i would keep a certain amount and i would have to send the rest to 2 different people via western union , they had a 1-800 number too that i called and what seem strange to me was when I called this "customer service" number there were kids screaming in the background lol….so I was like hmmmm , anywho I brought the cheque to the bank and the lady confirmed it was indeed a scam.
I just recieved one for SK energy drink as well from a supposed Glen Hovey with the email address [email protected]. As it is, this is an odd email for a hiring manager to have for a company. One should look out for things like this because it’s these tiny details that are so easy to overlook, but that are instant giveaways.
I received an email supposedly from Yamaha stating they would pay $500/week for getting my vehicle wrapped with their advertisement. Was skeptical and responded that I was interested. They then said they would email me the contact info for the technician in charge of applying the wrap and a tracking number for the check with an amount $2850. Was told that when I receive the check, I was to cash it at my bank, keeping my $500 first weeks pay, and then immediately send the remainder to the technician via MoneyGram/Western Union. As I was reading that, I knew that this was a scam.
I received an offer from Apple. 2200 was just mailed to me and I would be paid 450.00 a week for 3 months. I can’t imagine being in the whole for 2200 with my bank which would make my account no good until that money was paid. Grateful for this information.
I was just informed the procedures for cashing the check and paying the people who wraps the car. I am interested to find out if the check, coming through FedEx with a tracking number, is legal.
It is a scam, why would they want me to send that amount of money via Western Union.
Hello we have been informed that Payment of $2220 was send to you that will cover the decal expenses and your first week payment and for your "Yamaha Motor" Auto wrap Advertisement today via United State Postal Service (USPS) with the Tracking # (9405501699320018862389) which should be deliver to you today.
You are to take the Check to your Bank to have it cashed, if for some reason you aren’t able to get instant cash value for it from your bank, have it deposit for 24hours till tomorrow/next business working day, when cash would be available. Once the payment clear into your account, deduct $450 as your weekly wages and the rest balance should be send via /Western Union Money Transfer in a minute service to the expert carrying the advert on your Car, so they can make all the necessary arrangement for the supplies needed for the wrap placement, and the wire charges to send the fund should be deducted from the specialist fee not from your weekly wages. Below is the specialist information you are require to send the fund to below;

My email was for NOS advert…Come on REALLY! They don’t even know what kind of car I drive! Could be a rusted, busted piece of junk car…and they’re gonna wrap they’re pricey logo on it? Yeah right! lol
Glad that I just checked this on google.. They are using Citron drink in my case and paying $500. It was a Craigslist ad in Michigan,. BEWARE!!!
I felt like this was a SCAM but I decided to play along with them to see how far they will go. Now they are talking money and details.
I just got this email today and 2 attachments for a MoneyPak Card and something called a Vanilla Reload Card.
I decided to GOOGLE and see what I could find and here I landed. I wanted to share the email. I have the others as well. This was the lastest I received today.
I want the check to frame and send a copy over to our State’s Consumer Assistance Agency. Joy E.

Good Morning,
We are glad you are willing to be a part of this Ad Campaign and we would like to inform you that everything is in place for you to get started.
Adequate arrangements have been made for your car to be wrapped. Payment is set to deliver this morning via USPS.
Tracking Details :
———————————-
Check Amount: $2,380
Tracking Number: 9405501699320018485014
Track at : http://www.usps.com/
On receiving the Check, it should be taken to your bank for deposit. Have the deposit receipt scanned and emailed once the deposit has been made.
It takes a few hours for the funds to be available, and once the funds are available, you are to deduct your compensation which is $300 for the service you are rendering (wrapping your car) Payment for subsequent weeks will be sent out and will deliver next week.
The decal company has graphic artists nationwide who will come to your residence to get the installation done. A graphic artist will be assigned in your state to get the wrap done. $2,000 should be transferred to the decal company, so on receiving it, they send down the wrap installer along with the wrap to get the wrap done.
After deducting your weekly payment which is $300, I need you to buy 1 vanilla-reload network card (green in color, not the personal re-loadable prepaid card in black color) worth $1000 , and 1 greendot moneypak reload network card worth $1000
NOTE: KINDLY VIEW THE ATTACHMENT / ATTACHED PICTURE FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
Remember it is NOT a debit card and you will be charged $3.74 or less for each cards.
Once you are done purchasing, scratch the seal at the back and email me with the 10 digit code as shown at the back of the vanilla-reload network card and 14 digit code as shown at the back of the greendot moneypak network card so that i can send it to the decal company
Remember, it is your first assignment so you will be judged by your performance. Diligence and swiftness attracts an increase in commission in subsequent assignments. Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this details, so I can be rest assured everything is under control.
Once you buy the cards, email the details as requested above, and state when it will be convenient for you to have the decal specialist come to your house to wrap the car. This should not take long, so you might choose to watch them do it. We anticipate your response.
Many Thanks,
William Balzer

It IS a scam, I started an investigation, the check they sent was counterfeit. I have reported it to Ameritrade and I even went as far as doing my own investigation since I work in the Computer Field and handed over all the information. DO NOT DO THIS. Thanks!
I almost went through with it! Almost went to the bank with a check for $1990.22 from a Hernan A. Dicupe 6720 60th. St. Ridgewood, NY. Just to many things at the last minute that didnt seem right. Its bullshit that hard working people or people that are in need of money are being screwed over by assholes. Oh well. Dont do it! They said they were from Budwieser which happens to be my favorite beer. Pretty disappointed.
We got one from SK Energy Drink, Glen Hovey claiming to be SK Energy Recruiter, and the email address he used was for a Diana Patterson [email protected]. Same story, we will send you $300 plus the cost to wrap and unwrap your car…sign the agreement and we will send you further instructions. Definitely sounded too good to be true!!! Don’t do it!!!

today I got a text with that similar offer; it offer $300 weekly, I am skeptic of just about everything and with reason. Today we see more and more of these scams.. do your research before providing your information. just think, what if the people involve were just looking for more info to maybe attack your car, house, family, wallet, who knows…
yes recieved this very call from 323-647-3697
supposedly from Paul Thacker at Monster
Sent check, it was on closed acct
Beware and do your homework before accepting or sending money anywhere
Lesson learned
What do you do if you have check where can I report it?
Looks like the newest one is from SK Energy Drinks. From a Glen Hovey. [email protected]. That’s a sign right there. I’m waiting for my check in the mail…guess I wont be cashing it. lol
I almost feel bad because believe it or not, I scammed the scammer. In a similar type of fraudulent check scam of a person that wanted to buy a car from me. I ended up $9000.00 to the good.
[email protected] offered the same job on craigslist. Cant remember whether for Maryland or Delaware.
Do any of these people ever actually get caught?
Beware…and be AWARE..I received many emails from a [email protected] regarding a job alert NOS car wraps..thanks to this article I did not send any information to them, despite how tempting they made the offer. It is a shame today that we have to be so careful when we’re just trying to make a couple of extra dollars legitimately…Something needs to be done about the emails being sent to people that actually need the money and unfortunately don’t do the research. Please check with the BBB before you give anyone your personal information.
