Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are contacting potential victims pretending to be Dasani Water, asking them if they want to wrap their cars in an advertising campaign that pays $500 per week. The scammers will ask their potential victims for their names and addresses. They will then send a check to them. The scammers will then ask their potential victims to cash the check, take their share of the money, and wire the rest to a graphic designer.
But, the fake check will bounce. The wired money will actually go to the scammers behind this fraudulent scheme and the victims 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.

Yes I was just sent a text for DasanI Water to wrap my car. They said they would send me $2200. Rebecca was her name and then she stated that a company would be getting in touch with me to come and put the decal on. I asked her what the name of the company was and she said "we have an establishment that will come out and install it." Then I asked her who she was with and she said DasanI Water. Yes definitely a scam!

Received letter and cc for $3,990.80, after responding to to an email to advertise DesanI on my car. The letter was sketchy, lots if missing info. Curious why I would have to contract someone to get sign installed and removed. I tried to call the "manager" no vm set up. Sent a text msg. While waiting for response checked for scams. Low and behold, it is a scam! Will contact authorities.
Yes I received a letter with a desanI and fake check so please be advised to go to your local authorities to make them aware of it.
