I would love for the FBI or someone to catch these people! If they really want to catch them, there has to be a way! They are printing labels, they are using google voice, and g-mail accounts. Today I received the USPS envelope! I have not opened it. I have received the whole scam in e-mail about receiving the check by USPS, taking 500.00 out of the funds, and sending the rest of the funds to the person who is suppose to do the wrap. I then received an e-mail about the program. I didn't think anything about it because it only requested limited information to apply. I have no idea how he got my cell phone number, however, it was a group text about a Haagen-Daz's ice cream wrap.
I have been dealing with someone who originally text me. They are not offering a promotional Car Wrap position!!! Almost got caught.what now? Do these people keep trying after they've been found out, what do you do with the Check they sent? Who do you turn it into? I asked their Customer Service if this promotion was real and they answered back within the hour that it was a Scam. I made copies of the material for myself, sent a text message of pictures to family and even Contacted the actual Company that this supposed Specialist was Representing. My time is now with looking for a part-time job for the Holidays, with what I thought sounded good with a Car Wrap offer and I wouldn't have to work hard to earn a few dollars, I took the bait(still being leary as the days went on)up until they sent the letter and a big check, but here's where I stopped and decided to check some things out, I go to the bank but not to make a deposit, to instead take the letter and check to a Representative and Verify that this is exactly what it is and I needed someone else besides myself to see what was sent to me. I just happen to work for the Government and have had many years to be made aware of these Scams because they are getting into the Government too, but because we are Human, we all can get close to or get fooled.
I've listened to the reports thru the years about Scams to the public and how people have gotten taken for probably millions of dollars now. Spotted a scam like this? We want to hear about it. Which also means the bank will take back the amount of that fake check…leaving people out even more money.
And they’ll tell you to pay by money order, Walmart money services, or by making a cash deposit directly into the “specialist’s” bank account – all ways that are hard to cancel or get your money back.įor a lot of people, it’s only once their money is gone – and no car wrap materializes – that they figure out the “specialist” is really the scammer. Then they’ll tell you to use some of that money so a “specialist” can put the ads on your car. If you bite, they’ll send you a check to deposit into your bank account. The gist of the scam is this: The scammers send emails with messages like “GET PAID TO DRIVE.” They offer to pay you $250-$350 a week if you’ll drive around with your car (or truck or motorcycle) wrapped to advertise a well-known product – or even an event like the 2020 Olympics. We’ve heard about some car wrap scams that have targeted college students, a group known to look for ways to make a few extra bucks. So what if a company offered to pay you to drive around – which you were already doing – with their branding wrapped onto your car? It could sound like a good deal. Gas, maintenance, parking – the whole lot.
