How to spot a car wrap scam

My $4650.00 check came with a letter similar to all of you, but I was not instructed to send any money anywhere. Just that the balance after I get my $500. weekly pay , the balance will be for the technican/installer. They do want to know when the funds will be available in your acct. So if you send them that information of say 10days or more what are they going to say then? Because only you can take money out of your account, its not like , once they know it is there , they are going to file for it as a transaction you made. Anyway, I just thought I would share the # to text is 315-320-6845 email is , caronjhn @ Also I was not told what wrap they wanted to put on my car. This came UPS From: LOGISTICS MANAGER @ FASTENAL COMPANY (which I looked up) Winona, MN (which is where there corp office is). So I am going to wait this one out, they have not contacted me to see if or when I was going to cash check.

Has neone gotten one from Izzy juice and if so ligit or scam

I was contacted via text by someone claiming (not until I asked) I would get $400/week for 8 weeks. This was then demanded as their tone changed to threatening: I received a check for $2,550 Threatening me with forcing to contact the police if I did not deposit the check immediately Then telling me to immediately wire the money to another account for the car wrapper who is town and needs to schedule the wrapping I then asked about a formal contract and was told the car wrapper would bring it with them, so I had nothing to worry about. I asked it be emailed to me, they agreed and still have not send it hours later They want confirmation of the transfer then my installation will be scheduled It immediately raise suspicion why not pay the installer after the work was done in person? Or again, why wouldn't they pay them directly? Thank goodness I found this information online before wiring them anything? Thank you for the information...

I have been getting these things for years now, not much changes with them, doesnt matter what, letter and check/cashiers check/money orders/ electronic checks, and it doesnt matter what kind of employment/ job they need you to do from personal assistant, housekeeper, um to how its sent Email, Postal mail, or text messages, even in a group message. All of them will turn out to be scams! I have been able to be a little smarter then these guys but they keep coming back for more or sending their friends. Never ever deposit always if u still question it always take it to either bank its drawn on if local, if not the google, alexa, coranna, alex, or whatever other new search talk to your alexa ask where is that bank. If say its a real bank call them ask them to verify if it came from a legit account before cashing it. One out there ive experience which was a legit thing was standing outfront of a gas station with a couple tablets and get customers to take that gas stations survey that i recieved the tablets instructions incentive for customers when surveys complete. Everything was sent to me. I dont think i had to pay except getting to the stations werent reimbursed.

I'm glad I came across this article because I was "this" close to going through with it. I started to ask questions like how is the designer gonna get the check and is there a website for the company. Of course they claim the server for their website is down. And I would be sending the designer their money via mail. I was like nah, i'm cool. I'll send your money back.

So I recently received two text messages regarding this exact situation. Both companies I never even heard of. They didn't give me company information until after submitting my name and phone number. A couple of days letter, I get checks in the mail for over 3,000$ a piece. Called the bank that was on the check and explained the situation. The account numbers on both checks didn't even exist! And both banks said they've been getting alot of fake checks coming through claiming to have been from an account through them.

I am waiting on a check as I read this from Jolt Energy drink out of Rochester New York. They have not told me what to do yet have not got the check yet I did go online and there is a Jolt Energy drink company on New York is there a way I can call and ask them if they are advertising for this service

I have recieved at least 6 assorted amounts from companies to do a car wrap or secret shopping. With all the scams going on I researched every company, bank to verify they were real or scams and every single one was a scam. The best thing is I did not cash any of them. One company wanted my bank name and other bank info. I told them NO WAY!!! LMAO... PLEASE PEOPLE BECAREFUL WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFO. IF YOU HAVE TO SEND MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE IT'S A SCAM BIG TIME!!

Just got one for a Pepsi wrap. I deleted it, but I did call the number to see if anyone would answer. Someone did and after I explained the reason for my call, he said it was probably a scam and that I should delete and block his phone number. How are these scammers using other people's phone numbers to send out a blast text? In this case, my phone showed that 20 other people were receiving this message.

I just got one saying Frito lay hiring paying me $500.00 a week to drive around with wrap on my car. Was thinking about my son and his family. Sign Well Don is all I will say.

Is this a wrap Scam? PAY TO DRIVE WITH XEROX CORPORATION LOGO We are currently seeking to employ individuals in the United States of America, How would you like to make money by simply driving your car or banner wrapped for Xerox Corporation® Xerox Corporation is an American global corporation that sells document solutions and services, and document technology products in more than 160 countries Here’s the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: Xerox Corporation seeks people -- regular citizens, professional drivers to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for new "Xerox" plastered on your car or truck. 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, 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 3 months and the minimum you can participate is 7 weeks. You will be compensated with $500 per week which is essentially a "rental"payment for letting Xerox Corporation use the space no fee is required from you. Xerox Corporation shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on your car/truck. You will receive an up front payment of $500 inform of check via courier service for accepting to carry this advert on your car. KINDLY FILL THE REGISTRATION FORM BELLOW IF INTERESTED

I received this "offer" to get paid for the advertising once in the past and responded but never heard back. I just rec'd offer again and said "yes" Im interested but again, I've never been asked to accept any checks in advance etc.... maybe this is legit?

I recently started receiving unsolicited text offer me the opportunity to have my car wrapped to advertise Monster Energy drinks. I did put in a response to ask a question, and now they've sent me 20 emails at least. Currently they are asking me to deposit a check, then take a picture of the check deposit slip and send it back to them. I informed them that I would take the check to the bank on Monday and have the bank deal with it. I told them that I would do nothing electronic with them until after I had dealt with several paper checks and they had all cleared the bank. Needless to say I have reason to believe that this is a hoax since I received nothing paper and they have asked for a very limited individual information.

I received a text today asking if I'd like to put a Bud Light decal on my car for 400.00 a week. I replied back asking them if I could borrow 400.00 until I get mine in a few days.

I just got onefor Dr pepper, promising $500 per week for up to 14 weeks for decals on the car.the web address given is: forms. zohopublic. sscleaning1/f orm/ DrPepperAdvertisement CampaignForm2/formperma/ hguitEAOdyPUaKsHMktxsMwF96cv92cnNxVoCqo And the phone number the text came from is: 252702349 Watch out!!

They tried to get me today. Nicole Robinson sent a check to me for $2950 for placing a decal on my car. Deposit, keep $500 give the rest to the "detailer" who would do the install. A few hours later they're texting again that I deposit the check. It was drawn from Bank of Southern California. I looked them up and called them directly. While the routing and acct number were indeed correct, it was from a long closed account. They were very grateful that I called and confirmed before doing anything with that check. Needless to say, I shredded it immediately and texted "Nicole" back and let them know we knew they were scamming me. Trash of the earth, these scammers!

CAN I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON NOW AND I CAN NOW SEE THAT YOU WANT TO RUN AWAY WITH THE MONEY WITH YOU AND I WILL FORCE TO REPORT YOU TO THE FBI. This is the message I was sent. Should I reply that my bank said the check is fraudulent.

I just received a check for $1,880.00 from Allied Printing Resources; 33 Commercial Rd, Carlstadt, NJ 07072. 201-440-2000 I called this company and they said the check is fake; they have received many calls! from across the country! It is from BodyArmor Super Drink Wrap Advertisement. I got a text from their so called hiring manager this morning; April Spencer @ 818-714-7590 asking if I received the check! I also received an email from her with broken English and misspelled words! It’s all fake.... just reporting! I have not lost anything!!!

I got a wrap around decal check for 2950. They told me to keep my pay and give whomever details the car the rest. I was not biting on that. I don’t know what do with the check.

I just got one saying they would send me a chrck for 2500. 2000 to pay the person wrapping my car and 500/ week for me for Monster Energy. Monster says they only use their vehicles to advertise.

I recived a response from a job offer from a company called Frito lay auto wrap advertising. They instructed me to place a check in my bank account and said that when the check clear take out the rest of remaining balance to pay for the wrap. Of course I became suspicious and not do any of that. Instead I looked on your website and found this infomation pertaining to this issue and stop me from a disaster.Thank you Sincerely Rose Dinkins

I received an email telling me that I could make $500 a week if I wrapped or allowed a company to place a sticker on my car. Email also said that money/funds have been outsourced so don't be concerned if check doesn't have company name on ot. I was advised that check would be for a total amount of $2600, however $500 belongs to me a d the other $2100 is for the company who would be applying company sticker. I was to deposit the entire check into my checking account and wait for further instructions on how to send the company their $2100. I went along with everything. I received the check today delivered by FedEx as instructions said. I opened the FedEx package a d there was a blank envelope which had a check for $2600. Check had "Wood and Hustin Bank supposedly out of Higginsville MO. Remitted on check was WHB & LYMAN MITCHELL. So glad I did my research before cashing the check. I will be reporting this. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Supposedly the company was for AMP Enery Drink.

so i answered an ad for payroll assistant. but it was the starting point of this auto wrap campaign scam. i was suppose to get $2000 a month, all i had to do was print checks on business checks that i bought from Staples. mail them either by UPS, USPS, FedEx to about 100 people a week with a letter of instructions. when i got the first set of checks to print i notice that a VFW, a law office and a non-profit organization were paying 100 people $2950 each to advertise for them by wrapping their car. and all of the checks were signed by the same person. the routing numbers on the check are valid but the account numbers are not. after i started looking into it more i ended contact with the individuals. now just trying to figure who to tell to try to stop them.
