Dasani Decal Car Wrap Scam and Fake Check
Dasani Decal Car Wrap Scam and Fake Check

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.

Just received a text from 210-388-8369, advising me to save his contact as Mr. Kevin Broga and to always give him a response when I get a text from him. He asked if I had a valid driver's license, if I drive my car daily and if I have an existing checking account where I will deposit my check for letting his company use my car. I responded yes and he stated "Good".
He then sent this:
Note...

Lots of grammatical error, RED Flags all over the place.

FAKE, FAKE, FAKE......just got my HUGE pay off for $5200 to have an "installation consultant" come and put a 5"×7" decal on my car...lmao
1st off, DasinI is packed - PepsI Co which is owned by Quaker, so the likelihood of them needing vehicles wrapped for advertising is null. 2nd, why is so pertinent that I deposit this check so they can release the funds...

why not just pay the marketing company outright and than contractors be paid through them and 3rd and last, AZ lighting company of Yuma is a small "mom n pop" store, so they can toss around 5200 like it's nothing not to mention that 1st bank of Yuma has ZERO account associated with the company from which the check was cut, as well as the contact that ppl are supposed to text had a Los Angeles area code and all this was distributed from a place in Las Vegas that doesn't even exist!!...

scammets aren't the only ones who do their homework...LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP PEOPLE...THINGS ARE NOT ALL THAT EASY ESPECIALLY NOW A DAYS !!!

This is a very bad scam that uses the good hearts of people to get money that doesn’t belong to them. Be very careful when contacted by a Jayson Dunn/Kevin Braga he will pretend to be an ally but he will use you and immediately drop you when he can’t get anything else from you.

So same thing happened to me. Got a check from Michael Roberts and this morning he wanted to verify that I received check. I played along until the bank opened and I called the bank to verify funds. The bank lady told me the account was closed. I told him via text it was a scam and he told me it was not a scam. When I told him I called bank and they told me account was closed and I knew it was a scam he never responded back!!

My name is Melissa Roberts and I believe I have been a victim of a scammer who is using various bank account and aliases to defraud people of money from their own bank accounts an went even so far as to admit to me that he was using a friends account without hi/her knowledge to get money to pay me back plus steal money for his own use. I was a little naïve because I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt that they are doing the right thing. I was wrong. This all started when I responded to a Facebook account regarding a job posting where I would be allowing a marketing company to put a small advertisement decal on the window of my car and would be paid a certain amount weekly to keep the ad on my car. So when I got a check in the mail from a logistics company I looked up the company and found it to be an actual company I was a little less hesitant to deposit the $2700 from P&P global Logistics. Of course almost as soon as I deposited the check, I was contacted by the senderMichael Tyler) to use the overpayment of $2000 to Venmo that money to the advertisement company who would create and install the window decal.

Of course red flags started going off in my head, but the check looked legitimate and the bank never said anything about the validity of the check until it didn’t clears the bank almost a week later and made me aware of the discrepancies until September 1st a day that I had to have a complete hysterectomy. So, needless to say when I woke up from anesthesia I was a wreck.

So as soon as I was out of anesthesia the best I could be that day I contacted a man who had given me the name Kevin Broga who was just as upset as me because he had allegedly been scammed too. So “Kevin” appeared distraught about the situation and he supposedly had money placed away that he was willing to try and get me back on my feet, but he wanted to do this by getting a $12000 check from someone and delivering it to me and for me to send money out again to someone else who I assumed was him trying to scam people again. So, I immediately said absolutely not would I take the chance on another check being deposited to my account for him to take whatever he was going to take for himself so he was very angry with me and told me he wasn’t helping me anymore. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt and reached back out to him and we sort of started this process again only this time he relayed to me that he had a friend that was going to pay of my credit card bill and once the balance was zero I would send him some money from my credit card account. So he apparently had access to another bank account because he went to my credit card payment online account, added what I assume are routing and account numbers to make a payment that brought my account balance down and I was/am under the impression that this info belongs to a friend of his(at least that is what he told me$, but when I asked fr the contact info for his friend he stopped talking with me. Now back to the people involved Kevin Braga and Michael Tyler were original contacts. Mr. Tyler requested that I deposit the funds to him electronically and when that wouldn’t work he asked me to $500 apple gift cards and send him the proof of purchase and t Yy e gift card numbers, so I do. Even though I felt every bone in my body saying don’t do it. He came back a day later and said that he needed me to get one more $500 Apple gift card because the graphic installer needed more to get supplies. I knew it was a scam for sure by then and had even texted Mr. Tyler at 203-663-3692 and Mr. Broga/Mr. Dunn at these numbers 732-592-9457/503-378-9380. Those 3 phone numbers are how they corresponded. I also have the majority of the Text messages that were sent/received. There are multiple perpetrators in this scam and the one who identified as Kevin Broga has also used the name Jason Dunn with an address that was provided as 2350 Old Raven Ln SW. Vero Beach, Fl 32962 and provided me with the information to get into his online banking information like his user name and password as well as multiple account numbers to his friends accounts . I have all of that information in text messages that he sent if you need to see that.

Wow..This is just crazy. 719.399.3234 was the number that messaged me pretending to be the hiring manager..He stated a $3100 check would be mailed out and to take $800 for my first weeks pay and pay the remaining to the wrapping specialist. So I begin to ask questions like is this the only way the specialist could be paid is through me. And he answered yes that's just how they do it. BiG RED FLAGS!!! Glad I decided to look this up...

I didn't fall for it either. I looked it up first. I so woulda did it. I certainly could of used $500 a week or month whatever they said. But the text came in from 3 different numbers. So that's the first red flag. I hope no one else went for it before checking it out. Thank goodness I'm sceptical or I woulda been f**ked
