The Newmont Elko Warehouse Car Wrap Scam

I received a check from a Newmont Elko Warehouse for $2,550.50, supposedly to be paid to put a wrap on my vehicle for Rush Energy Drink for $500 a week. Then I received an email that the funds have been cleared and to contact them that the check has been deposited. The next step in this scam is to send $2,000 to the person that will wrap my vehicle, which the bank will say the check is a fake and presto, I'm out of $2,550.50.

I did not deposit the fake check and reported it to the Federal Trades Commission. My problem is it seems this Newmont Elko Warehouse scam will go on and on with no justice to stop these people and people will continue to get hurt. Scammers have scammed people out of millions of dollars and it's time to bring this to an end and bring them to justice, and make these scammers accountable for their actions. I am hoping with enough complaints to the FTC this can be accomplished.

The Newmont Elko Warehouse Car Wrap Scam
an anonymous user from: Smith, Tyler, Texas, United States

I got a text about a paid to drive car wrap for Starbucks. same deal. $500/week to have a vinyl decal on my car. I'm usually really wary and smart about these kinds of scams, but I know that car wraps are real and at the time I was a single mom going to school with 5 kids, trrying to hold down a job and dealing with ax ex dragging me in and out of court over lowering child support. The need for better income clouded my judgement. Thankfully we didn't get to the financial part, but now this guy has my name,address,phone number,driver's license number etc. I don't know what to do from here.

Hi, they tried to scam me through a craigslist posting. When a check came for 4500, far more than the item I was selling, I realized something was wrong. After a week or so I got another check this time from ELKO warehouse. Both checks look like they came form the Navy Federal Credit Union

I inquired about a car wrap program to make a little extra $$, and received a cashier's check for $3650.00 with instructions to deposit the check in my account within 24 hours and follow the instructions provided. Decided to check the web to see if anyone else had had any experience with this company based in Nevada. So glad I did. If something seems to good to be true, it probably is. The BBB or the FBI need to be involved in matters such as these and lock up these crooks and scammers.

Had a guy going by the name Jim Caldwell, ph#:1-352-616-4776. He sent a UPS letter to me with a check, claiming to be a money order plus to pay Futch’s Marine, 100 NE 23rd St, Gainesville, FL a portion. This check came from Newmont Elko Warehouse in Nevada. I will not attempt to cash this check because he is trying to scam me. Evil people will answer to GOD.
