Congratulations!
I am happy to inform you that you have successfully been entered into the program. Our auto wrap concept is sponsored by individuals/companies/corporate bodies.
A start-up check of $2,300.00 will be issued by one of our sponsors and mailed to your address. The amount covers your first week payment ($300) and the installer's charges. Your subsequent paycheck will be $300 weekly after the wrap has been installed.
You are required to deposit the start-up check into your bank account and when it clears you will deduct your first week pay and send the balance to the installer. This is to afford mutual relationship between you and the installer. The balance which you are required to send to the installer is the payment for the Auto-Wrap installation, maintenance and removal.
As soon as they receive the funds, they will contact you to schedule appointment on when to come over to your location or preferred location to have the wrap installed.
In view of this, please confirm the following details;
How long do you intend to carry the advertisement on your car?
One (1) month, two (2) months or three (3) months?
Do you use your car everyday?
NB: An inspection agent will come over to your location from time to time to monitor if you still have the wrap on your car for the period which you stated.
If you are willing to get started, please reply this email stating that. “I understand the payment process and I am willing to proceed.

I can't believe that people can be so vicious. This scam is still actively being pushed. Unfortunately, I thought it was real until looking at your informative article. The TX# used 201-719-4316 supposedly belonging to Zella James, contact rep. They are still passing bogus checks supposedly drawn from Florida Auto Auction. Not familiar with any of these entities other than Cricket wireless.

Hello,
I have just reviewed all submitted forms for the auto wrap advertisement and found yours inclusive. Thank you for choosing to advertise Cricket wireless on your vehicle. I am glad to inform you that you have been selected as one of our promoters and about to forward all information to our sponsors so that your fist paycheck would be mailed and deliver to you as soon as possible. I will be sure to provide you the tracking number and delivery date as soon as that is made available to me. You are therefore advised to check your email daily for our regular updates. Meanwhile, I have the directive to divulge the following information to you;
As for your assignment, there is no specific amount of certain mileage required of you. All we need is a daily driver as we just need to ensure your vehicle/bike is moving once the decals has been wrapped. The traveling distance may be from home to work daily although longer distance tends to be of more advantage. By so doing, we would be able to achieve our objectives through lots of exposure and awareness this would create. The auto wraps tend to be colorful eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertisement with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped vehicle alongside them.
Also, be informed that we have our professional installers we normally use, these are people we can guarantee and be sure no damage(s) will be done to your vehicle during installation and removal of the decals. They have been working with us for more than 10 years now. They work round the states to install the decals based on our assignment and one of them will be allocated to you who will be coming down to your address for the installation of the decals. So to say, you do not have to go anywhere to get your vehicle wrapped, your vehicle will be wrapped at your given address or your preferred location.
The payment plan as discussed in the application form will begin with a start-up check of $2,950.00 which will be issued by one of our sponsors and mailed to your address. The amount covers your first week pay($400) and the installer's charges. You are required to deposit the start-up check into your bank account and when it clears, you will deduct your first week pay and send the balance to the installer. This is to afford mutual relationship between you and the installer. The balance which you are required to send to the installer is the payment for the Auto-Wrap installation, maintenance and removal as well as the cost of the transportation of the installer to and fro your address. Your subsequent paychecks would be for $400 only which will be mailed to your address weekly after the wrap has been installed.
In conclusion, should you have any question, please do not hesitate to email me here. Once again, thank you for choosing to partner with us. We hope to get a lot of exposure from you. If you are willing to get started, please reply this email stating that “I understand the aforementioned process and I am willing to proceed”. Also, include your name and full mailing address as you want the check addressed to you for confirmation and final approval.
Warmest Regards,
John West.

I received this text asking if I wanted to make extra cash by advertising with my car or bike using a wrapped method. I'm so glad I didn't go further with it.
I have to say that it sound very enticing and who couldn't use extra cash these days. Yes at first I sent in my email address to find out more information about the offer, I must say again it sounds great.
Then I googled cricket car wrapping advertising and my I say the truth was told, it was a scam I emailed them back and said that I was no longer interested in the promotion.
All I can say is if it sounds to good to be true, do your research first. Just google it.

I will be sure to provide you the tracking number and delivery date as soon as that is made available to me. You are therefore advised to check your email daily for our regular updates. Meanwhile, I have the directive to divulge the following information to you;
As for your assignment, there is no specific amount of certain mileage required of you. All we need is a daily driver as we just need to ensure your vehicle/bike is moving once the decals has been wrapped. The traveling distance may be from home to work daily although longer distance tends to be of more advantage. By so doing, we would be able to achieve our objectives through lots of exposure and awareness this would create. The auto wraps tend to be colorful eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertisement with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped vehicle alongside them.
Also, be informed that we have our professional installers we normally use, these are people we can guarantee and be sure no damage(s) will be done to your vehicle during installation and removal of the decals. They have been working with us for more than 10 years now. They work round the states to install the decals based on our assignment and one of them will be allocated to you who will be coming down to your address for the installation of the decals. So to say, you do not have to go anywhere to get your vehicle wrapped, your vehicle will be wrapped at your given address or your preferred location.
The payment plan as discussed in the application form will begin with a start-up check of $2,950.00 which will be issued by one of our sponsors and mailed to your address. The amount covers your first week pay($400) and the installer's charges. You are required to deposit the start-up check into your bank account and when it clears, you will deduct your first week pay and send the balance to the installer. This is to afford mutual relationship between you and the installer. The balance which you are required to send to the installer is the payment for the Auto-Wrap installation, maintenance and removal as well as the cost of the transportation of the installer to and fro your address. Your subsequent paychecks would be for $400 only which will be mailed to your address weekly after the wrap has been installed.
In conclusion, should you have any question, please do not hesitate to email me here. Once again, thank you for choosing to partner with us. We hope to get a lot of exposure from you. If you are willing to get started, please reply this email stating that “I understand the aforementioned process and I am willing to proceed”. Also, include your name and full mailing address as you want the check addressed to you for confirmation and final approval.
Warmest Regards,
John West.

I received a check in the mail yesterday for 3600.00.. No letter, no explanation.
Today, I got this e mail.
“payment will be deliver to you today. Here is the USPS tracking number
for the confirmation...420272659405512 699350106689655. Amount on the
check is $3600.
You are to take the Check to your Bank to have it deposit for 24hours
till tomorrow/next business working day, when cash would be readily
available. Once the payment clear into your account. You will deduct
$500 for your first week upfront payment.
Then the rest of $3100 need
to be send to the Graphic Artist Agent who is going to come and
install the LOGO on your car.
Kindly Confirm to us you receive this
Email. so that the Graphic Artist agent information to send the rest
of the money too Can be send to you immediately, Confirm to us you
receive this Email and understand it “
I worked for a bank for 50 years. NO bank releases holds on funds in 24 hours. NEVER. Yes, if you are a good customer, they may go ahead and cash it, but when it bounces, they are going to come calling you for the money.
And no legitimate company sends you a check and then expects you to send part of it back. This is the oldest scam in the books! I have seen more people lose their money than I can count with schemes like this. Please don’t be one of them.
My response to this joker was if he wanted his check back, he could pick it up at the police depart!

What is the Contract Duration?
Once the wrap has been installed, minimum term is 3 - 4 weeks and maximum is 12 weeks.

Something raised the red flag when they said the first advance payment will be sent to me which will include the fee for the person who had will put on the wrap. And that would take my portion of $300 then give the rest to the other person. The second red flag was when I click on the email it was a gmail in stead of cricket. That is when I knew I’ve been had.

As soon as the check is delivered to your address, you are to take it to your bank and have it deposited into your account for processing.
You can also deposit the check on-line through your bank mobile application or via Automated Teller Machine(ATM). After the check has been deposited, deduct your $400 and withdraw the excess amount of $2,578 in cash as soon as funds are available. These would be sent to the graphic artist(installer) who will come down to your address to wrap your vehicle. The cost of installation of the decals, transportation of the installer and his team to and fro your address, as well as the cost of removing the decals at the end of this promotion are what the excess funds will cater for. The details of the installer and how to send their funds to them would be sent to you immediately you notify me you have the cash at hand.

Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this message and let me know when the check is received and deposited.
N.B: After receiving and depositing the check into your account, do send me a snap shot of the deposit slip issued to you at your bank. Also, notify me and state clearly when your bank indicates the funds would be available for withdrawal.
I will be waiting to read from you as soon as possible.

I am an investigative reporter with CBS Orlando- a viewer who happens to be a math teacher received a check from an account to appeared to be from the city of Palestine, Texas. The teacher was offered $400 a week to allow his car to be wrapped with a cricket wireless advertisement.
Of course, most of the funds ($1950), were to be wired to a mystery man in WISCONSIN to develop the shrink wrap design. We have advised cricket wireless and the city administration. Another con-game to steal from honest people.

Received a text to my cell phone from email address delilaegu@gmail.com stating "Cricket will pay u if you give us a space on your car to put STICKER for an advert. Send me your email to receive details. Thanks"
I am not responding to this as I know for a fact that they wouldn't want their product advertised on a 2002 Ford Focus with dents on all four sides.

I responded to an ad from "Cricket" the middle of February and received a follow-up email the following day telling me I had been accepted. I knew it was a scam when the email had no official company info on it but I decided to play along anyway.
The email stated I was to cash a check for $3,980.89, keep $500 and they would tell me where to take the money. The check I received was from Deljo Heating and Cooling along with a note to email them information, which I never did. After telling them via text I had deposited the check and my bank put a hold on the funds.
I got an email the next day telling me the check had "totally cleared" through their account. What they didn't know, was the check was on my desk and I had already notified Cricket Wireless legal department as well as my local law enforcement.

I received a check for Cricket Car Wrap, with absolutely no instructions! I believe this is a scam! There is a man texting me with ridiculous questions and things to do! Do I call the insurance company regarding this? Do I just rip up the check? I Will not deposit this and end up being responsible for the amount of the bad check! What should I do. There is a fraudulent Dept. phone number listed for this insurance co!
