I first wrote about this scam back in 2013 and it’s almost 10 years later and still going strong.
This post alone has over 1,000 comments from people I’ve helped and countless more have written to me privately. I’ve saved tens of millions of dollars from falling into scammers hands.
If you aren’t careful, it can cost you thousands of dollars.
In fact, a study by the FTC showed that people reported a median loss of $1,988 in 2019 to fake check scams, including car wrap scams (Source)
Today, I’ll explain what a car wrap scam is, how to spot one, and relay my own personal experience with this scam, complete with photos.
How Do Car Wrap Scams Work?
As I’ve mentioned, car wrap scams are a type of fake check scams.
Generally, here’s how a fake check scam works:
1. Scammers get in contact with you.
Scammers get your information while you’re looking for a legitimate work from home job and reach out with a job offer.
Or maybe you end up contacting them because you saw an ad to “get paid to drive,” “mystery shopper wanted,” or “virtual assistant wanted.”
Others tell you that you’ve won a sweepstakes, even though you don’t remember ever buying a ticket or entering a contest.
2. They send you a fake check.
Once the scammer is talking to you, they send you a genuine-looking check. These checks look genuine enough to fool you and bank tellers.
Car wrap scammers will send you a check for a greater amount than they agreed to pay you. They’ll then tell you to deposit the check and send the graphic designers or car wrap service the rest of the amount so they can come and wrap your car.
Mystery shopping scammers will assign you to evaluate the services of a money transfer service or money order retailers, and sometimes gift card retailers. They’ll then send you a check to deposit it in your personal account and then wire the money to someone else or buy gift cards in that amount and send the codes to them.
Virtual or personal assistant scammers send you a check and then instruct you to buy gift cards for supplies for your clients and then send them the codes.
Sweepstakes scammers send you a huge check and then instruct you to wire them a certain percentage for taxes, handling fees, or processing fees.
3. You deposit the fake check.
When you make a check deposit, banks are legally required to make the funds available for you to withdraw immediately.
So you withdraw the funds and send the money to someone else or buy the gift cards, etc.
It all seems fuss-free and above board, right?
Wrong.
4. The check bounces.
It can take days or even weeks to uncover a fake check.
Once it’s uncovered, the check bounces and the bank takes back the money from your account.
But you’ve already sent thousands of your own dollars to the criminals!
No joke. Here are the fastest ways to make easy money online. Click here to see how.
And they’ve vanished by this time. No way to contact them, no way to get the gift card codes back.
So you’re on the hook for the money, and now you have to explain to your bank why you even deposited a fake check into your account in the first place. You’re out the overdraft fees as well if you don’t have enough to cover the money that the bank took back.
This post was originally published in 2013. This scam is STILL occurring today and it looks like it will continue well into the future.
In fact, car wrap scams are now even more dangerous as the people behind them are coming up with more convincing ways to trick people into losing their hard-earned money.
For instance, some of the brands they claim to work with include ROCKSTAR Energy Drink®, Monster Energy Drink, Aquafina, Pirelli Tyres, McCafe, Dunkin’ Donuts, Langers Juice Company, Dr. Pepper, Marlboro, Purell, and many other big names.
Keep reading to see my experience with this scam and if you have received an email that you think might be sketchy, please post it in the comments below.
Can I cash the fake check?
The very first question I get asked is: “Can’t I just take the fake check to one of those check cashing places and keep the money?”
The answer is a hard no.
Check cashing facilities do not hand out money anonymously. You need to provide them with your identity, proof of residence, proof of employment, phone number, address, and so on. Even if they do manage to cash the check for you, the check will bounce and now they know how to get in contact with you.
They will start off by calling you, then mailing a certified letter, then they will escalate it and get the authorities involved. If you do not respond to their attempts to contact you, you can expect a warrant to be placed for your arrest by the authorities.
How to Spot, Avoid, and Report a Car Wrap Scam
So, knowing all these, what can you do to protect yourself from being scammed?
Take note of the following information:
1. Know how legitimate car wrap companies operate.
Actual car wrap companies do exist, such as Carvertise, Wrapify, Nickelytics, and My Free Car.
The main thing is that normally drivers come to them, not the other way around. They typically evaluate drivers based on how many miles they drive, where they drive, and their driving record.
They typically cover the cost of the wrapping themselves, too.
So if you do receive an email asking if you’re interested in having your car wrapped and getting paid hundreds of dollars a week, and you know you haven’t contacted or applied to a car wrapping company, ignore it. That’s likely a car wrap scam.
Most importantly, the amount on the check they’ll send you is exactly for the agreed amount, if they even pay you by check. Carvertise, for instance, pays you via direct deposit.
2. Never deposit checks from people you don’t know.
Sometimes it can be that simple.
Got a check in the mail from a stranger? Put it down and report it (see how below).
You can make money from home and it doesn't have to be challenging. Click here to see how.
3. Never use money from a check to buy gift cards, money orders, or wire money to third parties.
This applies even if you were written a check by someone you know.
If you buy gift cards and send the codes, or wire money, that’s like giving someone cash. You’re never going to get that money back.
Plus, what legitimate company wants you to send them digital gift cards? This alone doesn’t pass the sniff test.
4. If you receive a suspicious check, report it immediately.
Help yourself and other potential victims by reporting it to the following:
- Federal Trade Commission
- US Postal Inspection Service (under mail fraud)
- Attorney General
So what should you do when a scammer wants you to cash a fake check?
Here’s my personal experience with these car wrap scammers:
The Car Wrap Scam
In mid-September, I received an email from “David Christian” that originated from the address patriciabarrington@hotmail.com. The email simply said the following: Would You Wrap Your Car in an Ad for $300 Weekly? After I answered “yes,” I received the following email back:
Hello,
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.
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 ROCKSTAR Energy Drink®
How it works?
Here’s the basic premise of the “paid to drive” concept: ROCKSTAR Energy Drink® seek residents in the United States who are professional drivers to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for “ROCKSTAR Energy Drink®” 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.Don’t Have a Car?
If you don’t have a car, you can also participate if you have a bike.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 a month.What is the Contract Duration?
Once the wrap has been installed, minimum term is 4 weeks and maximum is 12 weeks.Would the wrap/decal damage the paint of my car?
The decal doesn’t damage the paint of car and will be removed by our representative once the contract expire. We will be responsible for installation and removal of the wrap.You will be compensated with $300.00 per week which is essentially a “rental”payment for letting our company use the space and no fee is required from you. ROCKSTAR Energy Drink® shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on your car. You will receive an upfront payment of $300.00 in form of a check via courier service for accepting to carry this advert on your car.
It is very easy and simple no application fees required. Get back with the following details if you are interested in this offer.

The Fake Check Arrives
I confirmed my willingness to work with “ROCKSTAR Energy Drink.” About a week later, I started receiving text messages on my phone from David Christian regarding my upcoming “check”.
Sure enough, when I went home and opened my mailbox, I found a check made out to me in the amount of $2,350. Woo hoo!
Interestingly, the check was made to look like it was coming from BOP, LLC, a legitimate clothing store business here in Madison, Wisconsin. The envelope, however, had a copy of a USPS Priority Mail 2-Day slip on it in which Rudy Grado, at 27405 Sutherland Drive, Warren, MI 48088-6078, was noted as the sender. I took pictures of both the fake check and the envelope it came in and have provided these pictures below. The pink stickies were affixed by me to hide my home address.
I called BOP, LLC and told them that I had received a check from them for the amount of $2,350. The business immediately asked me if my check was blue. I said no; it was actually a green color. The store immediately informed me that the check was fake and I should talk with law enforcement.
Meanwhile, I had David Christian texting me at least twice that day and asking me if I’d received my instructions on what to do with the check. I texted “him” back that I had yet to receive any emailed instructions. Naturally, when I later checked my email I found the following message:
Hello Halina,
Kindly proceed and deposit the check into your bank account and funds will be available for withdrawal 24hrs after it has been deposited. I will be waiting for a confirmation message immediately the check is deposited.
As soon as the cash is out you are to deduct $300.00 which is your upfront payment and forward the balance ($2,050.00) to the graphic artist that will be wrapping the decal on your vehicle via Money Gram and they will also be responsible for removing the decal when the program is completed. Please visit www.moneygram.com to check agent location close to you and make transfer through them.
Below is the name of the receiver. Please note that the transfer charges should be deducted from the remaining $2,050. You are to get back to me with the transfer details (Reference Number and the exact amount sent).
Below is the Graphic Artist Money Gram details to send the Money to
Receiver’s Information:
Name: Sandra Fagan

FAQ: Why am I sending money to Florida? The head office of the graphic artist is in FL.
As soon as payment is acknowledged by them, a local artist in your area will be sent to your address to install the decal wrap on your car. Let me know as soon as the check is deposited today.
If you require additional information, do not hesitate to email or call me.

What do you think I should do?
At this point in time, I’m debating about taking several different courses of action. I could do the following:
1. Contact local law enforcement and tell them that Patricia Barrington, Sandra Fagan and Rudy Grado are writing fake checks in a legitimate Madison business’ name.
2. Contact the FBI about the same issue since it spans several states (i.e., Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Florida).
3. Tell the scammers that I’ve deposited the check and am waiting for it to clear. This puts the car wrap scammers in a holding pattern because checks typically take 1-2 weeks to clear.
4. Tell the scammers that their “employment” check has been forwarded to the IRS for cashing because I owe back taxes and all my earnings must first be garnished (That should put them into a panic!).
5. New development! I might have a second car wrap scam check coming to my house very soon. This one is from George Jennings of NOS Energy Drink. Should I tell the ROCKSTAR scam folks that I’ve instead decided to work with the NOS scam folks- or vice versa?
I’ve Tried That readers, what would you do in this situation?
Update as of October 7, 2013:
First off all, thank you everyone for your feedback! I was feeling a little confrontational this morning, so I decided to first text David Christian and say that I’d deposited the check last Friday at my bank. Within seconds, I received a text message back from him, asking if I’d received my email instructions.
Deciding to not play text tag any longer, I called Mr. David Christian at the phone number (702) 605-0985. A guy with a slight English accent picked up the line and actually identified himself as David Christian. I told him that I’d deposited the check I’d been sent last Friday, but the bank had put a hold on it for some reason. He asked me how long the hold was. I answered that the bank wanted to hold it for two weeks.
David didn’t seem too concerned about the hold and said that I could just wait until the check cleared, then write out my own check to the graphic artist.
I then asked David about the Madison business that had been listed on the check (BOP, LLC). I said I was confused about why this business was being listed on the check. David answered that this business was the sponsor.
I then told David that I had contacted this business and they had no idea what I was talking about. BOP had also told me that the check was the wrong color (their checks have a blue background).
At that point, David and I lost connection. I tried calling him back at least two times. No answer. I wonder what happened. I hope he’s OK…
Update as of October 12, 2013:
This past week, I received the following email from a “George Jennings (george.jennings11@outlook.com)” of NOS Energy drink:
Hello Halina,
Information reaching me this morning has it that you will be receiving the check today. The check of $2,330.00 has been sent to you via USPS with tracking number (9405501699320009816575) and it will be delivered to you this morning. Kindly proceed and deposit the check into your bank account and funds will be available for withdrawal 24hrs after it has been deposited.
I will be waiting for a confirmation message immediately the check is deposited. As soon as the cash is out you are to deduct $300.00 which is your upfront payment and forward the balance ($2,030.00) to the graphic artist that will be wrapping the decal on your car via Money Gram.
They also will be responsible in removing the decal when the program is completed.
Below is the name of the receiver. You are to get back to me with the transfer information (8 digits Money Gram Reference) Number and the exact amount sent). You are to deduct the transfer charges ($180.00) from the $2,030.00 you have with you.

And here’s the fake check:
I’m seeing at least one common theme between the NOS and ROCKSTAR Energy Drink scammers. First of all, the car wrap “sponsors” are both clothing shops, BOP (of Madison, WI) and Madison et Cie (of Los Angeles, CA). What a clothing shop has to do with an energy drink, I haven’t a clue.
I also think that the NOS scam artists are far more sloppy than the ROCKSTAR Energy Drink scam artists; why would an LA-based shop sponsor a car in Madison? Unless that shop was picked only because it has the name “Madison” in it- did the scammers think I wouldn’t notice the location of this “Madison”-based shop?
Update as of October 15, 2013:
So, apparently, I don’t have to be scammed for $1,850 ($2,030 – $180 for wire transfer charges). I can also be scammed for just…get ready for it…$1,000!
Hello Applicant,
You are receiving this email because you applied for car wrap job. We are please to inform you that your application has been processed. Payment has been sent and delivered which include your 1st week payment and funds for the graphic artist. We will like to have an update from you if you have been able to forward fund to your matched graphic artist head office. If yes, provide the transfer info and If you are yet to receive payment from us, please let us know so we can process your application immediately. We look forward to your swift response.
Regards
George Jennings
My reply (including all broken grammar and misspellings): Thank you for email. My bank deposited the check but tell me I will receive back only one thousand dollars from thsi check. I don’t understand why.
George Jennings: Why is that? What did the bank say?
My reply: The bank is saying that the IRS is going to garnish my check as wages. I’m supposed to send them a W-9 from NOS too. Can you send a W-9 for these wages?
George Jennings: All the necessary document will be presented to you before the installation. Kindly proceed to send the $1000 via Western union to Constance to enable us book the installation appointment and the graphic artist will bring the W-9 with him. I will be expecting the Western union details.
Update as of October 18, 2013:
My saga with George Jennings continues:
Me: What about the $200 wire transfer charge?
GJ: The transfer charges should be deducted from the $1000. Kindly try and get this done today so the appointment can be booked.
Me: I sent a check this afternoon to the graphic artist. Thanks!
GJ: To who? You are to make a western union transfer to the details that was sent to you. Not send a check besides no address was provided to you.
Me: To Constance H. Lawson. She lives on Railroad St. in Saint Johnsburg, VT. It was much cheaper for me to just send a check.
GJ: Call it back.
Me: I already sent the check to her, but I can call her phone number and let her know not to cash the check. Or, should I send payment to the following address: PO Box 4125 Saint Johnsbury, VT 05819-4125
At this point, George stopped answering my emails. Too bad…
The Bottom Line: Avoid Car Wrap Job Offers
At best, responding to these scammers will waste your time. At worst, it could cost you thousands of dollars, financial ruin, and get you in trouble with the authorities.
Avoid any offered car wrap jobs, ignore the people behind them, and always do your research.
However, since you’re here reading this, you’re no doubt interested in finding new ways to make some extra money.

I fell for with McCafA .mcDonalds. my bank account is now empty
I received a check for $5000.00 told to keep $500 and give the installer $4700. When he comes to do my car I went to my bank and they filed a report I knew it was a scam next I will be going to the police
..
Good catch Nancy. Unfortunately, there’s not much the police can do, but having a report on file is still good to have.
I received an offer from Busch beer for a car wrap. I am older looking for an income boost. I was on my way to $400. a week and caught myself. Decided to check and see if there were this type of scams out there? Thank you! I immediately cancelled and every text he sent me disappeared. Glad to be rid of him! As a senior citizen I get at least one new scam a day! I have been waiting for the law to pick me up for weeks because of a fine I owe! No show! It worries me about the people that get their life savings taken because of the crooks out there!
Glad you took the time to research Jan. You saved yourself from quite a few headaches and even more lost money.
I got this text from (708)476-5079
Hi there, would you allow NOS ENERGY DRINK to paste a small sticker/decal on your vehicle and get paid $500 on a weekly basis? Just as you drive your car as usual. To know more, click the following link and apply. Thanks.
I filled out the application and a check for $2980.30 came in the mail 2 weeks later. The same day the check arrived I began receiving text messages from (346)278-5166. Hello STEVEN, we are texting you regarding the NOS car wrap advert offer you applied for. Just so you know, a payment check including the decal specialist fee, has being mailed to your address via USPS on this tracking#9405536895232023364298, It’s most likely to be delivered to your address today,please watch out for the delivery and get back to us on this same number as soon as you got it for futher instructions. Please reply with “YES” to be sure you got this text! Thanks
The check looked kind of suspicious to me so I googled it and I found this page, glad I didn’t deposit it first.
Good call on taking the time to research this. You just saved yourself $2980.30 and quite a few headaches with legal and bank fees.
Hello Steven, I am curious as to what you did with the check? I am in the same situation, just received the check today.
I received something very similar to this and was very close to participating. I was a bit skeptical but left the email in my inbox for a few weeks. Somehow the conversation popped up about it with my mom and I told her about the deal and she was telling me I should take it! I was really surprised because she’s usually very skeptical to all things like this. She told my dad and he was all for it as well. They both said $300 just for driving around was a great deal. My mom made me forward her the email so she could apply as well. Then she told her friends about it and they also loved the idea and wanted to apply. I’m so glad I came across this post because otherwise we could have all been in big trouble. Here’s the emails I received! (They first sent me something about a driving while advertising open positions and I replied that I was interested)

Sincerely,
Damn, that’s one of the more convincing emails I’ve seen yet. I found myself reading it twice to make sure it was actually a scam. It is, of course, but it’s scary at just how good these scammers are getting at ripping other people off.
car wrap scam rush energy drink they sent me a check for 2754.11 instructed me to mobile deposit it that was the first suspicion that this was not legit. they put a lot of pressure then to get me to send cashers check in amount of 2200.00 I started lying to them which saved me from being scammed out of 2200.00 dollars these people do not care that they was scamming a disabled senior citizen on fixed income. I filed a police report but that’s probably will be the end of that. this just happened august 15 2018
Thank you so much for information on your web site. I was checking it out before I did anything. This has saved me.
I was scammed as well i dont know what to do
I have received 2 of these, one for Amp and one for mystery shopper, what should I do with the cashier checks and can they do Anything to me or whatever, since I have the checks and am not depositing them, or doing anything with them? I took one to the bank and they told me it was fraudulent and kept that one. Then a few days later I received the second one. What do I do now?
You don’t really have to do anything. Depending on how much information you’ve given the scammers, you can consider identity theft protection or even a credit freeze. But if all they know is your name and address, you can just ignore them and block all contact with them.
Was it a cashiers check?
I was sent a bogus check from a Jared Rivers today. His new scam involves purchasing your car at full price plus monies to hold the car for “the moving company”. The check was a company check from Barker and Castro, LLC out of Chicago. I took the check to the issuing bank and they verified it was bogus and not a real check. Prevented some pain and suffering. Anything from Jared Rivers is air and a scam.
Hello I dont remember the specifics but I had my bank check it out and found was a scam so they handed it over to the authorities so God bless anyone who fell victim to these horrible people and hope u recover ok
I need help i replied with my address and name and phone number what should i do i need help asap
Just ignore anything they mail to you or any messages they send you. Definitely do not cash any checks.
My husband just got a check shipped overnight to him from “bud light” in the amount of $1900. Yeah…hard pass. He said there were no instructions about sending the money elsewhere though.
Hello I almost played fool into a car wrap scam 4 Starbucks doubleshot I was smart did my research the check came in the mail for $2,700 500 was supposed to be mine 22 was supposed to go to a graphic installer that will show up at my house to wrap my vehicle I took the check to the bank and talk to my bank representative and they were able to spot right away it was a scam I was fortunate enough not to try to deposit it in my account my bank is a great Bank it wouldn’t let me deposit it even if I wanted to reading everything you had to say really helps me out I’m thinking about taking this check to the authorities but on the other hand I want to keep it and frame it LOL and I will post on Facebook so other people don’t get scammed because you’re right the less fortunate like myself could really use that kind of money but when you have no money kind of hard to pay back something you don’t have I want to thank you very much for all your Intel and the 411 sincerely your friend Timothy
Glad to hear the bank caught the fake check before you were able to deposit it! Most people aren’t so lucky unfortunately.
Just got a text on my phone for the car advertisement. I have been expecting check. Just deposited the check in savings….UGH!!!! What should I do now. I wont do anything to it fully clears. But I have asked questions and They haven’t been answered.
UGH,,,WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW!!!!!!!!!
Best to be proactive and tell the bank the check you deposited is fake.
It’s possible that the check will actually clear or the funds made available to you, but that money WILL 100% eventually be caught as fraudulent and be removed from your account. DO NOT send any money to anyone and do not spend it!
I received the check for Bang Energy car decal. The person (Robert) is asking me to deposit the check. I told him bank will not allow me to deposit the check as it is suspicious. I requested him to send the cashiers check. No response so far!
what is the phone number they used?
Wow! Your article was super useful and you did a great job in both the writing and collecting proof. I’m very skeptical about what’s scam because people call anything scam lately. but in your case you documented everything pretty well. Awesome job. Thank you
Just contacted for the bud light wrap.
Don’t know if I’ll take to the authorities .
Of just frame it and hang it on the wall.
Well – they are getting a little more advances. Payment with with bitcoins but you have to link you bank account/debit card to access your money…ugh…NO

I got a text from “Budweiser” at 9:30 last night- for a “BUD LIGHT DRIP” wrap ! Every word the same as you posted…. thanks ! And your correspondence was hysterical, I do the same with Nigerian inheritance scammers ! lol
I received one of theses checks, the emas and texts…is there anything I need to do outside of ripping up the check and ignoring messages etc?
Nope, that’s about all you can do. Make sure you block the numbers/email addresses used by the scammers just to get a peace of mind.
I received a check for $4,980…. They claim I keep 2 grand and give the remainder to the tech for installation of the Dr Pepper Decal when he comes to my house to install it…. They also ask for proof of deposit with a deposit slip but tell me to black out any account information and details on it…. And they’ll send me an additional $200 Amazon card…..I have a photo of the check and the letter … Claiming to be a Mr Steven Phill Auto wrap campaign manager…. The check is on Bank of America the business name on the check is Shi government solutions out of Austin Texas and The envelope has a real business out of Oakdale California that sent it Micro Machine Shop they have got to be something that can be done to these people….. I mean damn it’s not right they get away with this kind of crap….
Unfortunately, these guys are often overseas, pros at hiding their identities, and outside of the jurisdiction of any US law enforcement. The best we can do is make sure people are informed about the scam to help prevent it from happening.
I fell for it my check Was actually from a law firm lol and when I called it she said I was proudly the 10th person to call to day
I received my check this am. I guessed it was a scam and have been hit before with a similar deal and luckily did not fall for it. So what is best way to get beck at these scumbags? Who can I report this to?
There isn’t really much we can do unfortunately. These criminals are operating overseas somewhere and it’s impossible to trace them. This is not advised, but at best, you can waste their time or ask them to send more checks by saying you never received them.
Your best course of action is to forget this ever happened, rip up the fake check, ignore the scammer, and move on.
It’s crazy how many scams are going around. Glad I’m not as easily convinced cause I knew it was all a bunch of b.s… I received a text, replied, and then received this email.

I was sent a text message saying Budweiser is looking for people to advertise by car wrapping. I KNOW ITS A SCAM!! I’ve been sent this same emasil for different well known companies. DONT FALL FOR IT!
Yea this was ebay dont trust it…. His cell phone number is (731) 798-2184
I got a check in the mail and been texting 707-872-7342 about the Starbucks wrap decal. They asked me to send 3,000 in money orders and keep 500. The address they want me to send it Emma Isaac 6228 Lakeview Dr Indianapolis Indiana 46224.
Please do not cash it! It is 100% a scam and will cost you around $2,000 of your own money, plus bank fees and potential legal headaches.

MONSTER ENERGY 5/20/19
Almost responded but then I decided to see if it was a scam because it was a bit off putting. So glad I checked it out first. Thank you!
Scam from red bull 5/18/19 wanted to send check for car wrapping,resurfaced beware!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here, filled out the G-shot energy drink logo email that I received concerning getting paid for a vehicle wrap for their advertisement. About a week later, I received a priority mail express envelope with a check for $3600. Instructions told me to text Mr. William before depositing check to verify it for deposit. The number given to text was (435)677-6227. Mr. William instructed me to deposit the check online banking or through ATM and keep my $500 fee and to wire through the postal service the $3100. I smelled scam, so I told him I would send the check back and he stopped texting me.
I received a check for $3750 and they offered to pay me $600 a week for 6 months. Thank goodness I checked this out first!
I appreciate the head’s up everybody. I’m glad I googled this before I made a big mistake. All the stories are exactly the same as mine.
Seems everyone ( regardless of the ad ) starts out the same. I was sent e-mails from Robert T.D. and check was sent from Asad Jafry [ in washington via amazon.cominc]BUT UPS sticker was from my post office !!! WTH ??? This is actually sad – most companies would ask for more info on you or your car. I asked in email how checks are issued and what day – the VERY next morning was a check for $2848.00. Wow ! I never signed up for anything. At least your checks LOOK real !! Mine had no names / numbers or adressess on it. I took it to the bank and asked to call BB&T and my teller told me no need – its an absolute fake. When i txted Robert to tell him it was rejected – he immediately asked me for a credit card #. Sry but i just took check to local police department and reported all the names and addresses to the FTC and FBI. So i dont know what comes next ! But at least im not oitta my mind !
I recieved my check yesterday for rockstar decal check is blue and for 2,9500.00 from get this… Gove Law Office, LLC 358 sewall st Ludlow, ma 01056 and bank is Berkshire Bank 431 center st Ludlow, ma… So the graphoc artist are coming from ludlow also… Funny im sure there are lots of graphic artists here in Texas that could have done it…. My usps priority mail envelope was sent from Martha Tessema 824 Eureka st Pittsburgh Pa 15210-1028… Im fixing to google law office and see what they say….
same circumstance, Miller Lite decal, the cashier’s check was issued from First Security Bank(no address) in the amount of $2,900. I google the sender address, in Biloxy MS and it was a property that’s on the market for sale. I called First Security Bank, gave them the info on the check… fake and scam. The bank was in Arkansas, the sender Robert Moore somewhere else, the “ remitter” of the check, Stephen Pedro.
Similar circumstances for me to wrap my car in Bud Light Decals, Pushed and pushed me to deposit the $4000 check..Area Code north west Ohio..
I got one better I’m waiting this morning because he wants me to a rush to the bank this morning to deposit that check I sent him a text and said you know if this goes over good here in Arkansas maybe I could advance and I can actually recruit some people
so I’m going to tell him I got a lot of people recruited to get all these car wraps but a man in black came to visit And put a tracker on my phone and my emails and they should be knocking on your door any minute now maybe you could find something to do in prison that you could make some change doing What you do best Because you sure are good at being a brown eye I got a feeling he won’t bother me anymore once I give him that message scaming SOBs i’m also disabled a been a nurse for 20 years and I was looking to do something from home to make some extra money I will make sure that they are prosecuted I am going to get in touch with the FBI this is not my first rodeo I’ve contacted FBI over Nigerians before if it was my 88-year-old mother I’d probably shoot somebody over it Well thanks everyone I had no idea what the gut told me thank you again beware stay away from scams when in doubt always check it out 👩🏼✈️🏦🏦🏦

to me
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in working with us. Please read instructions Carefully
G-SHOT ENERGY DRINK CAR 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.
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 G-SHOT Energy Drink®
How it works?
Here’s the basic premise of the “paid to drive” concept: G-SHOT Energy Drink® seek residents in the United States who are professional drivers to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for “G-SHOT Energy Drink®” 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.
Don’t Have a Car?
If you don’t have a car, you can also participate if you have a bike.
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 a month.
What is the Contract Duration?
Once the wrap has been installed, minimum term is 4 weeks and maximum is 12 weeks.
Would the wrap/decal damage the paint of my car?
The decal doesn’t damage the paint of car and will be removed by our representative once the contract expire. We will be responsible for installation and removal of the wrap.
You will be compensated with $500.00 per week which is essentially a “rental”payment for letting our company use the space and no fee is required from you. G-SHOT Energy Drink® shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on your car. You will receive an upfront payment of $500.00 in form of a check via courier service for accepting to carry this advert on your car.
It is very easy and simple no application fees required.Kindly confirm the following details below if you are interested in this offer.
We shall be contacting you as soon as we receive this information.
