The scammers behind the fraudulent scheme will send fake checks to their potential victims, ask them to cash the check, take their share of the money and wire the rest to a graphic designer. But, the checks are fakes and will bounce. The wired money will actually go to the scammers behind the fraudulent scheme.

The victims will then be left to pay back the bank the wired amount and other charges associated with the processing of the check.

Remember, when you receive an offer that is too good to be true, please do your research before participating, even if the offers seem legitimate.

RECEIVED A CHECK DELIVERED BY UPS TODAY. There was no information in the envelope except for a check.
It made no reference to car wrapping for Red Bull Drink Advertisements Company. So, I decided to look up information on the computer. And like the old saying goes "if it's to good to be true, then it's not." I am glad I checked this out before I cashed the check that was sent from NABCO Mechanical & Electrical, Inc. So I hope this helps other people that are thinking they are making good money. And as far as these losers, go out like the rest of us and get a real job.

I applied for the red bull car wrap advertisement from an email from the individuals, but I got the check thru the USPS courier.

They wanted me to put it into my account and let it clear but when I got the check I kind of thought that it was no good and I did go to the bank and told them about it.

I didn't think the check was any good and after my bank checking it out plus I also made a copy of the email to the bank with me and I give them all the info and it is a scam.

do not try to cash one or put it into your account because it is a scam. My bank is turning the info over to the proper people.
