Good morning, I'm glad to inform you that the payment will be deliver to your residence TODAY or TOMORROW according to USPS with Tracking number; 92055902416755000010097979. Once you receive the check, I want you to go ahead and DEPOSIT the check at your bank or electronically using your bank mobile app on your phone/ATM Machine. Then get back with the deposit receipt from your bank to schedule the best time for installation. You will deduct $400 from the funds as your first week payment and send the remaining balance to the Expert Payment Head office so that the assigned Wrap Specialist can come over to your location for the decal installation on the schedule date.

I want you to take care of this immediately after receiving the payment in order to process all the necessary supplies and orders needed for the decal installation

N.B ***If you want to discontinue after the duration of your service, the specialist/expert shall come again and remove the advert placement on your car/bike with no traces of ever placing a vinyl decals on it..

"GET BACK WITH THE PICTURE OF DEPOSIT RECEIPT FROM YOUR BANK TO SCHEDULE THE BEST TIME FOR THE INSTALLATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"

I answered text, it asked for make model and year of my car, also my name, address, email and phone number, nothing else. What do I do now if this monster decal thing is a scam? They have part of my info, and what I drive.

If it is a scam, the scammers will contact and send a fake check to you and ask you to take your money and send the rest to them.

The may sell your information to other scammers who may contact you and ask you to send them money or information, so be careful going forward.

Always be careful of people who contact you out of the blue and ask you to send information or money.

"Job Opp! Get four hundred dollar (400) weekly by allowing Java Monster Energy Drink to put a small decal on your CAR/TRUCK/BIKE. For more details and registration, Visit our website at hxxps://bit.ly/2NKbnhd"

I got this text message today. Sends me to a website that looks shady compared to what monsters websites look like normally. I'm not a 100% it’s a scam but I've never heard of a good offer for a car wrap.
