I actually deposited a check that Bang Energy drink was going to wrap my car to advertise. I got sick during this. I took out the $500 dollars they said would be mine up front and now they want me to set u[ a paypal account to send to the vendor to do my car. Should I alert authorties and my bank?
Yes, because it they are attempting to steal and launder money.
Worthy Brewing® contacted me via txt and sent an email asking me to agree to terms of receiving a check and making a DEPOSIT then the decal people come to do decal. Same wording so same scam.
I have recently signed up to do this "Auto Wrap" thru Miller Lite via Boost Mobile. It all seemed legit, I googled Owen Tomlinson and saw web info on him. I have an envelope at home waiting on me when I get there that is supposed to have a check and paperwork. Can you please tell me how I am supposed to know if this is for real before my account gets compromised?
If you were asked to change the check and send money to someone, it is a scam.
