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.

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"
