Question I have is what where or who do I turn this information to that I just said in detail too in order to report this matter to? The Mt Dew Scam that is? I recieved a 3450.33 check that I just mentioned in my comments before this?
I filled out the application for the wrap and as promised a letter with instructions on what to do along with a check. Something told me to investigate a little farther before depositing 3450.33. I was to snapshot my deposit slip and txt it to a Mr. Francis to validate the check. I was to then wait for Mr. Francis to call so we could set up an appointment with the technician who was to apply the wrap to my vehicle. I was to keep 500.00 of the check as payment for my first week of advertising Mt. Dew on my car! The remaining balance was to be paid to the technician who was to put the wrap on the car! Turns out the little bit of time it took me to research this I found it was a SCAM and In turn saved me from having to payback a fake check with money I don’t have!!!!! BEWARE ITS A SCAM!!!!!!
Found the comments that this is a scam but I don’t know where to report it
Mountain Dew decal wrap is it a scam or not? I’ve been sent a advertisement to have my SUV wrap with the Mountain Dew decal for $700 a week.
If they ask you to send money or cash a check, take your share from it and send the rest to them, it is a scam.
