Dr Pepper Advertising Scam: Car Wrap Advertisement

Dr Pepper Advertising Scam  Car Wrap Advertisement

The fake Dr Pepper Car Wrap Advertisement below is a scam. The scam claims that vehicle owners with a driver's license can be paid $500 or more weekly via check (cheque) to have their vehicle wrapped in an advertisement. The scammers behind this fraudulent scheme or scam will send you fake checks, ask you to take your share of the money and wire the rest to a graphic designer or give it to someone else. But, the checks are fakes and will bounce. The wired money will actually go to the scammers behind this fraudulent scheme. You will then be left to pay back the bank the wired amount and other charges associated with the processing of the check. Whenever you receive offers that are too good to be true, please do your research before participating, even if the offers seem legitimate.

I received the same information through text message offering the 500 per week, 7/5/20. Seemed legitimate but the brand is already established in my opinion so no Bueno!!!!!!

Ok, I received a manila envelope sometime last week. I opened it to see nothing but a cashiers check and no instructions on where to start, or what to even think. (This is my 2nd scam attempt with a check like this one. So I knew well enough this was a fake check, but I cont. the search. On my envelope, it said vern fonk insurance. So I searched that up but still wasn't sure why I got it or from whom. Later that day I got a text message. A guy named Daniel, letting me know who he worked for and letting me know it arrived and if I received it. I didn't say anything for a couple of days and he continued messaging me. The last one I got was you have been reported to the FBI for fraud. SAY WHAT? NOW, THIS ISNT TRUE IS IT?
