The "Bud Light Drink Car Wrap Advertisement" Scam

Here is what I received in a group message: Hi, would you allow BUDLIGHT DRINK to put a small sticker on your CAR,TRUCK, OR MOTORCYCLE? Get $500 Driving with our brand advertisement. Click here to apply: https://budlightdrinkadspromo.com/

It was sent to 8 others with this phone number: “407-792-10” which is my phone number and we all had different last 2 digits. I get messages every single day, and I’m annoyed that now they are sending messages on Sundays.

It’s a SCAM. I’ve got the paperwork along with a check made out to another person. They asked for my year and color of my car, phone, address. This scam parallels all the above examples. Sad that frauds and scammers are so prevalent. Ty Hand

This is the actual email I received. If you read carefully it has several misspelled words. A legitimate company would never allow literature or correspondence to go out into the public with spelling errors.They pay people to proof. Notice there is no name of the company that will wrap your car, no phone number to contact the person who is paying you and the salutation is so generic. Thee were my first clues.

The check is written in the name of a legitimate company drawn on a legitimate bank. However, if you call them they will know nothing about a check or company. Also you can check the routing number of any bank and this routing number is not legitimate. My advice is to question anything that sound good and offers to put money in your pocket for doing very little. Never deposit a check from anyone you do not know.
