Dear,

We so much appreciate your willingness to participate in this program. PepsiCo Inc. is an American multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York..As the second largest food and beverage business in the world which products are distributed across more than 200 countries, we still strive to improve and reach Faraway local cities where our products have not reached and as part of our effort to promote the Mountain Dew Drink, we seek interested candidates to go about their normal routine with an advert of "Mountain Dew Drink"on their car, truck or Motorcycle.This is one of the awareness program set up to make it easy for people to see the product

How it works? Here’s the basic premise of the “Advertise While Driving“ concept:

Pepsico seeks people -- regular citizens,professional drivers to go about their normal routine with an advert of “Mountain Dew Drink" on their car. The ads are typically vinyl decals, also known as auto wraps, that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will cover every portion of your car's exterior surface but you can choose if you want a full wrap on your car or just a sticker..It is the same amount per week and no difference

What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness. The auto wraps tend to be colorful, eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped car. This program will last for 6 months and the minimum you can participate is 2 months.If after that you decide not to participate anymore,the wrap can be removed

You will be compensated with $250 weekly which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company use the space, No fee is required from you,We shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on/off your car (before and after the pro gramme)which would be in form of a sticker and would not have damage on your car whatsoever

It is very easy and simple no application fees required, Find below the required information to apply for this offer.

    What happens if I deposit the check in my bank and it clears?

  • July 23, 2022 at 9:15 AM by an anonymous user from: Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

    I'm thinking about cashing it

  • September 28, 2021 at 4:11 PM by an anonymous user from: Dupont Circle, Washington, District of Columbia, United States

    321-342-7290...this is the number who text me 2 days ago asking if I had received my check in the mail. I had not checked my mail yet so I proceeded to ask WHAT CHECK and was told it was 4 the Mountain Dew Decal Wrap Ur Car check. Well I asked them the amount and was told it was 4 $3500. I then asked why again and they sent the same message. I told them NO and when I did they quit texting me but see they was texting just fine until I said no. So I asked why they wasn't responding now and then I said IS THIS A SCAM...ARE UALL SCAMMERS and still no answer. So I looked it up on the web 2 find out it is a scam. I thought it was 2 good 2 be true but was honestly hoping that it was legit..the check looks like a real check 2. I'm so glad I didn't fall 4 this and I hope noone else does. And what is crazy is that when I finally got to call the number they text me from IT SAID I WAS BLOCKED..huh how convenient

    I usually check before responding to things like this, but this morning I didn't and sent them my name and phone number. I understand about the scammer sending checks. But what do I do before they send me the bogus checks? If I do get such checks, am I ok as long as I don't cash them? Can they do any scamming with just my name and phone number, which they had 'cause I received this offer via text on my phone.

    • January 5, 2021 at 11:37 AM by info

      They can contact you and attempt to scam you, but you can be smart by researching things before doing them.

  • February 3, 2020 at 12:18 PM by an anonymous user from: New York, United States

    They will not give me their address of the company, said someone will come out to wrap my car with my Dew ad; would not give me the address of the person coming out

  • February 2, 2020 at 6:31 PM by an anonymous user from: Durant, Oklahoma, United States

    What if the fake checks are cashed at a check cashing place?

    • February 2, 2020 at 7:24 PM by info

      Usually, they will attempt to verify the check before giving you the cash. But, if they cash your check, they will later discover it is fake and will report it to the police. And, you will be wanted by the police for fraud.
