"Decal My Car for Miller Lite" Auto Car Wrapping Advertising Scam

Yes just received this , looked it up and it’s a scam:(

got a call from bank today, deposited check yesterday. so I just looked this up, they got me 1550 dollars. I dont know how im gonna pay this back. I figured the bank would know if check was real

Paul Hendley contacted me about 4 months ago and he never answered my questions. I told them I would not pay to have my car wrapped, they would have to pay for it.

Today I received a suspicious looking check in the mail that said to send an email stating my name, check number and amount. I did it from a friends email. Then four hours later sent me instructions to deposit check right away and get my car wrapped and send the rest back to him.

I actually couldn’t read the text, it was so badly written. Then went online found the article of the fraud; took a picture of the article and sent it to him. Now I m waiting to see if he answers!

OMG! Yes I am a Victoms of this scam. I got a text message if I wanted to earn $500 a week for either 1or3 months (my choice).

They sent a real check from "Accociated Bank". THE COMPANY that this check is under is "Katz Properties INC." Office account. 614 W Brown Deer Rd. #300. Bayshore, WI 53217. Phone # the text came from #14159930735.

According to information research Katz Properties I a realastate company. The check came from UC Berkeley Distribution Center. 3200 Regatta Blv.Suite E. Richmond,Ca 94804.

I almost fell for it.

Thank God the lady's at my bank said it sounds funny and looked into as I was right there.

They alerted their security office about the scam.

I received a check for$2,596.86 from Independent Realty Co Escrow Account.

I thank the lady's at my bank.

I hope u pass this on.

O and the person's name that I was corresponding with is Alicia Peters.

Yes, I have gotten a text which I thought was a reply from a company I applied to from penny hoarder app and it’s exactly these people going By Kenneth Barker Hiring Manager.

Yet the email address is to a kimberlydx5.gmail unfortunately I have already sent my name address and email which they already had to them plus the make of my car.

Hope I’m good still.

Johanna

received a check for 1956.96; they said to deposit the check and they send instructions on wiring money to Anthony drophy; Texas called the bank, its a scam check, no good, shredded check.

Same emails they have sent from Michele pPetersmichelebq-gmail.com

Received via email:

"Yes I have received the check today and called the bank they said the check is no good, it's fraud, so I have shredded the it!

Hello,

We are glad you are willing to be a part of MILLER LITE® car advertisement and we would like to inform you that everything is in place for you to get started. Adequate arrangements have been made for your car to be wrapped.
Here is your FeDex tracking number # 773227619641
Check Payment Amount: $2.532.64

once receiving this Check, it should be taken to your bank for deposit or through the ATM OR THROUGH YOUR PHONE APPLICATION. Have the deposit receipt scanned and emailed once the deposit has been made. It takes a few hours for the funds to be available, and once the funds are available, you are to deduct wrapping the DeCal on your car upfront payment of $500 for the service you are rendering (wrapping your car)

The decal company has graphic artists nationwide who will come to your residence to get the installation done. A graphic artist will be assigned in your state to get the wrap done. The balance of $2,000,65 should be transferred to the decal company, so on receiving it, they will send down the wrap installer along with the wrap to get the Car wrap done..."

I sent them all my information already what will happen now? Should I go to the cops? I'm a bit nervous from all of your responses

OMG me too I think they sending check by fed x today

There is no need to go to the cops, just ignore them when they contact you again.

8/17/2018, just received a text message offering $400/week for allowing small miller lite decals on my vehicle. Sounded like a scam.

it is a scam DO NOT DEPOSIT THE CHECK or try to cash it... it is a bad check and if u sign it, you will be responsible for the funds Ignore any more emails or texts that u receive from them.

I was sent a text message and emails from someone named michele peters; it was spelled out just like that too- no capitals. They even sent me the tracking number from USPS. Seems legit enough. IT'S NOT!

Yes this is a scam.........How do I know it’s a scam because it happened to me

Wow.,i am reading every comment and i cannot believe this...

Yes this is a scam...

It was to good to be true, I did my research and I also went to my bank, the teller told me that it was a real check and the bank does exist, but I have yet to call the bank. I received a txt with a phone number of 1-856-244-8509

You cannot tell if the check is legit until the bank attempts to cash it.

I didn't get an email, I received a text message on my phone. The number texting is 321-209-3743. The text read:

"Hi, Miller lite needed anyone with a car/truck for decal advert promo and get five hundred dollar per week. hit the link hxxp://bit.ly/2LCpeUR for more info."

I played the game with "Carl" from Miller Lite. They sent me a check in the amount of $1998.79 from Ernest Roach Farms, Inc, Spanish Fork, Utah which is a legitimate business. The return address on the USPS Priority Mail was from Hob Nob Shop in Los Angeles, CA., another legitimate business. None of this made any sense.

The amount of the check was arbitrary, there were no watermarks on the check. Of course I didn't even think of depositing it, I forwarded it to the FBI. I imagine there is some Federal Penalty for impersonating Ernest Roach Farms, Hob Nob Shop, and Zion Bank.

Incidentally, they printed Zion Bank on the check with no address, and listed the website as zionsbank.com. The web address is a legit bank, but the web address is Zions with an "s" at the end.

Hope nobody falls for these low-life pukes that run these scams.

Thank you for this information, I to received a check for the same amount, and the check came from Comerica bank & Trust

Watch out for a Palm David, claims to be another Miller Light Hiring Manager. They even text you. SCAM. Please Report if this happens to you.

a check received from
AIDS Community Research Initiative of America in the mount of $1567.45
I informed them I would not participate in their scam they tried to play like they had no idea what I was talking about.
