Scamming - Fraud
The "Bud Light Decal" email campaign 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.

So you're 100% sure that this is a scam a really a scam that is so messed up those guys can dying burn in h**l as far as I'm concerned f***rs...But as I asked are you 100% sure this is a scam?
I just received a text message offering to pay me and 19 other people with numbers very similar to mine $600 a week to put a small bud light sticker on my car!
They just messaged me with 9 other people one of them being my dead mother.
They just sent me a message. I assumed it was a ascam just from the wording of the email. I googled to see what exactly the scam was. Pretty ingenious I must say. I hope they are tracked down and no one falls prey.
Is the Bud Ligh tauto wrap promo a legitimate company
It does not seem to be legit. Once you are asked to cash a check and send money to someone, it is a scam.
