Car wrap scam targets college students

Just contacted by text 6612635151 and then 7867242792. After email with bad grammar (nibomibo890@ Definitely a scam. Same wording as listed.

Received Text message offering me $500 per week to put Oral-B Sticker on my BIKE, CAR or Truck.Googled Oral -B to inquire if they were having such a promotion and Was sent to this site. When it sounds to good to be true it usually is.

I volunteered to have my car rapped with advertisement for the ZIPFIZZ healthy Drink company?..I received a cashiers check for $1,950.35. And I was given plenty of instruction on what steps to take to begin my short stint as an advertising spectacle or at least my car. My initial thoughts were, great, holiday money..non traceable cash. Then I read the instructions carefully and realized I had 8th grade students who could put a sentence together more grammatically sound. I know this is a scam and an attempt to abscond with my money....but how many others will not....what are my steps now.....I have the evidence in hand

YES IM BEING HARRASED BY THESE SCAMMERS FROM CALVIN KLEIN CAR WRAP

I just received a text message about a car decal advertisement scam to promote Malley’s Chocolate for $400 a week. The scammer is trying to get my personal information and to deposit a bad check.

What happens if you cash at an establishment that cashes checks? i.e. Walmart, Winn Dixie, etc.

So my 18 yr old son got a check in the mail from Erwin real estate and finance Out of Manitowoc for $3650.20 for a mt dew decal wrap. He decided to cash it not realizing it was a scam. Luckily he was smart enough to have the bank make a copy of the check before they cashed the check. He still has the full amount which we will be returning to the bank. The “person” he was in contact with,(781)243-4997, repeatedly asked him to deposit it. When he told the person he cashed it and that he would only pay the technician in person, the person began to get angry and said he would get back with him.

I just received a cashiers check for $2950.24. Sent from Midland Creek 801 S Ennis St Bryan TX 77803. It is not tied to any major company. How do I dispose of the check/

I received something via text supposedly from UTZ as well they sent me to a website. Next thing I know I got a FedEx with a check for $4,973.85. I have got fooled by this type of stuff before where I got a check out of nowhere and neither time did I cash it.

This has happened to me today by rock star drink advertiseing and the check is being checked by my bank now so what do i do. Its not been touched

Someone sent me a check for $1500.00 they told me take out $300.00 for myself then complete a task go to Walmart but $1250.00 in gift cards it's a secert shopper I'm hólding the check

My nephew ran into a version of this scam. The outfit wanted him to send them a deposit slip. He happened to know someone who had signed up for the same thing and got hold of the guy. The guy told him that not only did the fake check bounce and he was out the "installation fee", but the "company" reached out and pulled enough money out of the guy's account that he ended up having to declare bankruptcy. My nephew took the fake check to the bank it was supposedly drawn, and the bank confirmed that the check was indeed a fake.

I just received a txt to have my car wrapped and make 500 a week. To advertise Mountain Dew

Total scam, beware! 501-517-5936 texted me today about promoting Mountain Dew with decals on my car, making $500 a week, guaranteed! They sent a link to " raymountaindew.wixsite.com ". Intrigued, I texted back for more info. "Ray Cooke" from immediately responded from 321-295-8889 with requests for my personal and private info, my bank info, etc. Texted them back with a request to go ahead and send that check. Let's leave the banks out of this. They already seemed to have my name, address and phone number. Still waiting to hear back from the team @ Mountain Dew. It's a shame about Ray!

I just received one of those check. I know that it's a scam how do I report this to the authorities.

Just got scammed by the wrap scammers wow I feel like such a idiot!

Exactly what you said would happen did and they were trying to get me to give them my brothers and friends names so they could scam them as well! What a lesson I learned!

What if they send you a cashiers check? How can you verify that it is legit?

Just received a text message that Malleys Chocolate will pay me $400 a week to drive around with their decal on my car and asking for my info. I immediately searched it up and found this website.

Just received one of those mountain dew messages. Here Is a thought. When receiving the check do not touch it with your hands. The check may carry fingerprints. If it came in the mail it has a paper trail. There are people where you came from that would be interested. All things in the universe can be traced to their origins.

Bang energy is offering a 500$ month or weekly payment by certified check to put a small decal on your car it is fake!!!!!

It's a good thing I found this before I proceeded further into the scam. I unfortunately took a small bite and "applied" for it. Now I know to just get rid of the check and move on.

I just received a priority mail damaged envelope with a letter (no return address) stating there will be contact info for a tech for Mountain Dew who will wrap my car. aA check for over $4000 was included. I am to keep $500 for my first week's payment and give the rest to the tech. With no return address, no tel except the one I received the text from, I decided to google this program. It is a scam. Too bad. It would have been handy now. I called the texted numbeer which was not available now: it is 4:30 PT and the number is Seymour, IN, which i sprobalby 2 hrs later, 6:30.

I just got a text message from this number +1 (470) 867-7443 “ Hi there!. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are at the moment running a part time advertisement program (DRIVE AND EARN) contributing our part to help humanity. Could you allow UTZ QUALITY FOODS (GOOD HEALTH SNACKS) put a 15 x 12 inches" sticker on your CAR/TRUCK and get $800 weekly? kindly apply here: tinyurl. com/ yxba4d8a”. I verified first the actual website to see if it is real and didn’t see anything about it so I knew it’s a scam.

I almost got caught yesterday but return the money back to my bank. These people need to go to jail

I've been emailed by a Jason Brown who claims to be with Starbucks. They are offering $500 per week to have my car wrapped with a Starbucks logo add. Has anyone else been contacted with a similar offer?

Has anyone been offered $500 a week to have a Starbucks wrap placed on a car ?

My car wrap scam was grom cadbury!

I was texted about the auto wrap scam ad well they sent me a check for 2994.00 and 400 was for me after I deposited it in my account then I was to contact the decal co and pay them the rest . I went to a bank thinking I would open a new account and the lady I talked to told me to do some more research first thank god for her because then I found this site and I've done nothing more . I almost went for it .

I received a text yesterday from 1-(404)-225-9826 claiming that they were from UTZ Quality Foods, offering to put a 15 X 12 inch sticker on my car/truck/bike for $750 weekly, I've received similar texts like this before from different companies which I usually just block. I texted back STOP but no reply has been forwarded back to me. I want to know how I can stop these thieves from texting me.

I am so grateful for this website. Anyone needing money could harm oneself even more by falling victim to these scams. I was sure this was a scam but wanted to believe that I could earn money simply by advertising with my car. After all, it is to inform the public about the product. I too received a check. The amount was for $4250, the contact number (770) 852-5744 contact name Ivan Marcus. What increased my suspicion is that he could not answer my questions about contracts, & taxes. The big give away was receiving a second check and exact letter as the first. Oh also the check was from 'ELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. Yet my desire wanted to believe the check was real. This site has kept me from becoming a victim.

I knew i knew they tried to get me to bite on it they sent me 2 checks $2600 each then told me I can have $500 a week out of each check my payment for putting the decal wrap on my car. I knew it wasn't good so I didn't cash it

Thanks for providing this information. They are still scamming with this because they almost got me. But the keep $400.00 and send the rest to the specialist to "wrap your car" was the give-a-away. I also Google Car Wrapping Scam...

I was contacted through my University email about this, and I figured it was legit since it came from them. I signed up and was contacted that the check is out for delivery today, and is really pushy to get it deposited. The contact person was Ortiz from Adweek for a superbowl vehicle wrap. Was supposed to drive at least 100 miles a week, get paid 300 and 50 for gas. Had a feeling this was a scam after they didn't ask for info for I9 or tax related stuff. Good thing I googled...... telephone they texted me from was 240-903-5573

I just got one offering to pay me $400 per week! To put the Cadbury decal on my car. It was a text message. Believe me I knew it was a scam but I decided to search and I came to this site. Sadly I know people who fall for this stuff. I had a guy recently send me a check for $3000. It was supposedly pre-payment for a job we had been talking about. Just for fun, I took it to my bank and my bank said they would not accept it. So again just for fun, I told the guy that my bank wouldn’t accept it. He told me to put it in at the ATM! Then I was supposed to meet with him and turn over $2000 to pay someone else on this supposed job. He wanted me to show him a screenshot of the deposit of the check. Otherwise I would have met with him and brought a few cops along for fun. I don’t know how these people sleep at night.

Just got one from Aquafina. Watch out!

I thought I was a victim. I didn't know about this scam. I cashed the check then sent the money to the wrap company. However the wrap company just contacted me to schedule the wrap. Does this mean it could be legimate? Is there any reason I should refuse the wrap (assuming they show up)?

I fell for the scam but never cashed the check what should I do with the fake check?

I got a text message to advertise for Lays from "Thomas Larson" for $750 a week, with a link at the end of it. I wanted to see what their site might be like so I copy and pasted into incognito. The grammer was pretty bad so it was hard to follow. They also kept trying to emphasize that we the applicant wouldn't have to pay anything and would simply be getting paid as if we were their landlord.

Scammer texted $850 a week to wrap car with Cricket Wireless wrap. Then emails and promises a check to remove the first $850 and give the rest to the "specialist"that will wrap the car with the advert. The email is not worded properly and is clearly a non-English speaking person writing the email. The name on the text says "maybe Thomas"

Hey! I had this same issue, they sent me a 4500$ check, and messaged me that they will pay me 500$ a week aswell, the number is 208-254-5229.
