Why aren’t these people being arrested and fined. Especially if you know they are scammers. If I did it, I’d go straight to jail but these people live like this and nothing ever done to them.
They are operating in foreign countries where it is hard to find and prosecute them.
I went along with this to a point. I have sent in my name, address, vehicle type, etc and received a check today for $1850 as the ad states.Mark Jordan immediately wanted me to send $950 to someone in Sugarland, TX. I am waiting for the check to clear before going any further. If it all works out it does if not, it doesn't.
When the check bounces, your bank may ask you to pay the processing and other miscellaneous fees.This is why you should never deposit the check.
The email address that was sent to me was, ashlercarels-gmail.com.
The fraud email name I received for this was from lizasemykina48-gmail.com. It was for the Budweiser Drink auto advertisement.
Originally received an email advertising this vehicle display job. After calling, they emailed the exact same email as above. It sounded like a scam so I checked it out and found this. Will be reporting it to appropriate authorities!
