Scamming - Fraud
The fake website drpepperdrinks.com is another Dr Pepper car wrap advert scam. The scam claims that vehicle owners with a driver's license can be paid $400 or more weekly via check (cheque) to have their vehicle wrapped in an advertisement. The scammers behind this fraudulent website 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.
You can apply for this contract advertisement using your car for our sticker advert. Please kindly take your time and read how the advertisement car wrap work.
Also, the scammers would have stolen their potential victims' personal information when if they have submitted it via the form at drpepperdrinks.com.

Well I am supposed to receive a check for 3950 and then they will tell me my next step . But instead I am gonna show them my next step is to tear it in half also
they have another fake page associated with this website where it tries to trick you into being a "remote" glorified secretary. The site is called drpepperdrinks.org/interview. It doesn't mention a car wrap decal anywhere but definitely the same people.
I recently received a text from a powr.io offering a 1000 from dr.pepper to ad wrap my van since I didn't know about this scam I responded because for me money is tight. But when I receive the check I'm tearing it in half!
I have received this same offer via a text message (because the nature of our business being associated with drinks and beverages), but under the drpepperdrinks.net website link.
