Scammers are sending out PepsiCo® Car Wraps advertising scams to thousands of persons via email messages, Craigslist, and other advertising media. The scams claim that vehicle owners with a driver's license can be paid a certain amount of money weekly via check (cheque) through a courier service to have their vehicle wrapped with a PepsiCo advertisement. But, the scammers behind this fraudulent scheme will send you fake checks, ask you to take your 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 this fraudulent scheme. You will then be left to pay back the bank the wired amount and other charges associated with the processing of the check.

Whenever you receive offers that are too good to be true, please do your research before participating, even if the offers seem legitimate.

A Sample of the "PepsiCo® Car Wraps" Advertisement Scam

Subject: Re: Car choice for wrappping

Dear Applicant ,

We appreciate your interest in our advert program. Hence, we implore you to carefully go through the concepts of the advert program clearly explained below before you take further actions on registering for the program. The Advert opportunity is open to all eligible candidates from all the States in United States. It is very easy and simple, no application fees required.

WHY PepsiCo® CAR WRAPS?

Thinking about today’s state of economy, more and also more investors are turning towards an affordable form of advertisement to market their brand. While social media marketing has served the purpose well for international marketing, businesses choose making use of affordable Car Wraps for local marketing of their services as well as solutions. The conventional form of advertising being pricey, this kind of advertising has captured the marketplace since its advent.Colorful graphic designs on the body of cars or some other vehicles are most likely to capture attention of people on road. These Car Wraps are also loved mostly by car lovers as they create a terrific vehicle face-lift. Sometimes, driving the equivalent car just for a long time may be monotonous, as well as buying a completely new one might be too pricey just for the time.This is a comparatively less high priced way of modifying the looks of your old car to a bright, funky one. 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.

THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PepsiCo® CAR WRAPS ADVERTISEMENT CONCEPT

Several businesses realizing the affectivity of Car Wraps have implemented this into their organization method. Custom vehicles with wraps on them, driving over the high way or on a road jammed with visitors, supply the passengers a chance to read and also subconsciously remember the advert. Countless company owners have seen a substantial increase in organisation due to advertising via the vehicle wraps. It is regarded to be both productive and cost-effective.

WOULD THE WRAPS HAVE ANY EFFECT ON MY CAR/BIKE/BOAT'S ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINTS WHEN REMOVED AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM?

PepsiCo Car Wraps could shield the original factory paint of your car, which remains intact as long as the vinyl film stays on it. A vinyl design of 3M quality is the easiest to remove as well as leaves no residue behind, after removal. So, it is recommended to use a 3M certified car wrap from a registered company to find the ideal and long lasting wrap on your ride.

DON'T HAVE A CAR, AM I STILL QUALIFIED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ADVERT PROGRAM?

If you don't have a car, you can also participate if you have a bike or boat and if you are a resident in the United States above eighteen (18) years old, and you are a competent driver.

CONTRACT DURATION

Once the wrap has been installed, minimum term is 4 weeks (1 MONTH) and maximum is 12 weeks (3 MONTHS).

REMUNERATION

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.

PepsiCo® shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on your car which would also include the installation of a GPS System on your car for determining the average weekly mileage covered by 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.You would also be requested to append your signature on the hard copy of the contact at the point of wrapping your car with the vinyl decal by the decals expert.There will be no fee for gas since you are not driving to anywhere else apart from your daily routine.

  I just received a text from a guy named Jon presenting himself as a rep for Pepsi. He said they put a check in the mail and that once I receive it to let him know and they'll send out a specialist to my home.
  I got suspicious at the fact they supposedly mailed a check and I hadn't done anything yet. I started researching and my gut feeling was confirmed. this is a scam, and he just sent another text promising the tracking number when the Check is mailed. I'm going to mail it right back, but not before I report it to the local authorities.

I also got the PepsiCo wrap text yesterday. But only wanted to pay 400 a week, never did they mention how I would be paid, said to fill out the section but didn't say what to fill in because there was place for your name and address.
They did ask what country I was in and what kind of car I just blocked the number.
I knew all that stuff is just scammers then I googled it and was shocked how long it's been around that and people selling fake puppies are the biggest scams yet moneygram won't do anything.
You know whom ever picks up money, there cameras here in the states, yet I goto send a friend $50 and I couldn't.

Well I have not received a response from them nor do I expect to after my reply since it sounds like I'm a little too skeptical for their choosing. I'm sure they still get people jumping at the lucrative sounding offer, so why bother with someone like me who may question their validity.
I really hope people do a little research before falling for these scams. It only took me about 5 minutes to figure out this was probably fake by going directly to the Pepsico website. It's a really small amount of time to spend in order to prevent something that could potentially turn out to be quite costly. And it's such a shame that the majority of people that would jump at this offer are probably people like myself, who don't have much to begin with and could really use a bit of extra cash each week/month. All I'd like to see is that people be more aware of these fake offers. Good luck to all."

Both my spouse and I were texted for this PepsI Advert offer.
The number they texted from was 602-552-8685, and the name they used was Eric Marlin. Sucks that these kind of people take advantage of others, especially during the holidays when folks are sometimes trying to get extra cash.
Too good to be true..

WHY PepsiCo® CAR WRAPS?
Thinking about today’s state of economy, more and also more investors are turning towards an affordable form of advertisement to market their brand. While social media marketing has served the purpose well for international marketing, businesses choose making use of affordable Car Wraps for local marketing of their services as well as solutions.

Subject:Re: Advertising
Thanks for your response. It is very easy and simple, no application fees required, this is how it works; the basic premise of the "paid to drive concept" PEPSI Energy Drink" seeks people, regular citizens, professional drivers, and all car owners above eighteen(18) years old, to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with an advertisement for PEPSI Energy Drink" plastered on their cars. The advertisements are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps"that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will cover some portion of your car's exterior surface. What does the company gain from this type of advertisement strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness; the auto wraps tend to be colorful, eye-catching and attracts lots of attention. Plus, it is a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can not take their eyes off the ad vehicle.
This program will last for three(3) months and the minimum period you can participate is one(1) month.

There will be no fee for gas since you are not driving to anywhere else apart from your daily routine.Please provide the following information so that we can confirm you for this posting and send you further information;

I went so far as to receive the check... But it was drawn on some random company's account. Shame they go to these extremes to rip others off... They should get a real job and earn it like everyone else!
