"Get Paid to Drive Concept by Miller Lite Beer" Auto Car Wrapping Advertising Scam

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.

The fund is needed for them to get the materials ready and drive down to your city for the wrap.

My husband and I received our checks today Aug 13, 2018, from Illionois Dermatology Institue, LLC. that was my first red flag, which I will be calling their office to inform them of this. I also will be taking the checks to my local police department here in Fayetteville, NC.

Yes I was also sent a text message from a girl named Michelle Cecil. I knew it was a scam so I went along with it to see how far she would go even after I asked her if it was a scam, of course she said no, she will be sending the check out tomorrow Monday August 13th 2018 and when I get the check I will be turning it over to the police department here in Indianapolis Indiana and the fraudulent emails also.

I got one from "referral cars" for a energy drink label to be put on the back of my window kind of think that that is actually a scam as well even though they sent me information that had to do with zoom advertising. Beware of Scammers!

Yup I was sent some scam letter via a text message from some girl name Michelle Cecil, about a Miller lite label being put on my car.

So I went along with it and I'm having her send me the check, when the check gets here I will be sending/giving the emails and the fradulent check over to the police department here in Indiana.

I was sent the scam. by Catherine? Nasty trick!

Mitchell Benson catherinejne-gmail.com is the email address that I got the Miller lite message from today.

I'm thinking it's a scam cause why else would you outsource a payment??

Exactly what I just got! Too good to be true. The funds outsourcing was the key and thanks to this website for all the information

It is a scam.

Friend received this scam as a TEXT Message on her mobile phone coming from a # 707-395-7460. Bots no doubt, maybe even Russian ones, scamming $ to fund ridiculous idiot candidates to take down our country!

I have received a check for Miller Lite decal, but have not deposited the check and am trying to reach company regarding cancellation and have not received any response.
Please advise on how to handle situation.

I would turn it over to the police! Maybe someone in your police department has time to track down or even do a sting operation.

You may destroy the check or report it to the police, but do not cash it.

Maria.

You can destroy the check or report it to the police.

Regarding the Miller Lite Decal email, I suspect these people got your name and mine from lists of people who have been involved in surveys for cash, games for cash, etc. online.

I was doing that for a while and suddenly my email was blown up with messages. Even though the English grammar was horrible,(HUGE red flag) I went as far as having the check sent to me so I could see what bank was issuing it and who was listed on the check.

There were many red flags: NO description of the reason for the check was printed on the receipt part, the name of the issuer was a construction company which makes no sense because Miller Lite is big enough to have its own advertising division, and the signature was a wavy line so no one could have a name to investigate.

I had been communicating with "Fenton" by email. After I received the check, I wrote "Fenton" 1 last email (No response as of today) and said I needed the full name, address, telephone of the issuer of the check and the reason why a construction company had been outsourced to issue checks on Miller Lite's behalf for advertising.

I suspect there will never be a response and upon checking with the Bank of the Cascades, there is no money in the account now, thus letting me know this was a SCAM. BEWARE!

How does one go about stopping them from messaging you? I only ask because they sent a group text message to me and 19 other people and now my phone is blowing up with messages from everyone in the group.
