The "Apple Logo Car Wrap" advertising campaign below is a scam. The scam claims that vehicle owners with a driver's license can be paid to have their vehicle wrapped with an advertisement. The scammers behind this fraudulent scheme or scam 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.

From anonymous user from Charleston, West Virginia March 15 via text message
-offering me the opportunity to make $500 a week to carry a logo for energy drinks on my car.

They sent me a check written on blue paper with typed in information for $2049.99 from a credit union in Witcha Falls, Tx. They were very insistent that I deposit the check immediately via ATM and my funds would be released in 24 hours.

They sent several text messages which all had grammatical errors which gave me red flags to their authenticity among other reasons.

I called the credit union (which is real) and was informed they have received fladulent checks written on their credit union. However, all of their checks are printed on red paper not blue paper. The credit union is working with the police to find the perpetrators.

I have turned my check, copies of the emails and text messages over to the attorney general office in my state to the fraudulent claims department.

I got a check for $2333.33. Took it to my bank and had it checked out. It was no good. Apple Logo Car Wrap. I took it to local police department and they took pictures of it and the text and emails I got concerning this scam.

Solicited through a text to my phone. This is the "fuego wireless scam". I called and Fuego Wireless is no longer in existence. Dontae Hawkins does not have a command of the English language that would lead one to believe he is an American. "I will contact as soon as paycheck is mail out to you."

I am anxious to receive the alleged $2650 upfront payment and see how long it takes to bounce.

I received this exact same email and they were definitely too anxious for me to deposit the check. I don’t know how the scam works after you attempt to deposit the check. They threatened me saying that I will be reported to the authorities such as CIA if I don’t tell them the bank transfer details.

Received via scam:

"I replied to this before I look for information on a scam. I have been texted by these people also. They just seemed a little too anxious for me to deposit the check. The only thing is, I can't figure what the scam is because they wanted me to wait until the check had cleared my bank before sending funds through Western Union. How would a scam work if the check actually cleared the bank? If you need the number to they were texting me from please email me. I replied to them with your information about the scam and said "looks like we have a problem"
