Autozone Advertising on Car Scam - Fake Autowrapping Campaign

Online scammers are contacting potential victims pretending to be Autozone, 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 them a check. 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.

Here is the AutoZone SCAM cellphone text I RECEIVED from "ranaaj068-gmail.com" yesterday:

"AUTOZONE are currently seeking to employ individual’s Nationwide, Regular citizens. The car wraping is just a sticker that will be placed on your side door only and it's all with regards to the position of our ad on your Vehicle for at least 3months. It is effectively removable and won't harm your paint. It's low maintenance work utilizing your vehicle to promote and pass through your typical route(from home, to school, work and so on). You will get compensated by means of Certified check ($600 weekly). If interested text us back with Your Full Name: Full street Address ( apt #), city, state ,Zip code and email We will get in touch with you when we get the information/data needed. Thanks"

Obviously they didn't even correctly spell the word "wrapping"; and did not use proper spacing for words/punctuation. Hope this helps others who are targeted by this SCAMMER CON-ARTIST.

If you Google search 'ranaajO68' the search returns location info: "Seven Mile Beach in Austrailia" and "Seven Mile Beach in Cayman Islands /Grand Caymans":

I haven’t even agreed and they sent me a check anyway. Now they are texting to see if I got the check. Interesting part is the check is from a company I don’t know with a MS address but the sender info on the envelope is a CA address. Wonder what would happen if I deposit the check and don’t respond to them? Other than it might bounce do they have any recourse

I have received the same letter, I got the check yesterday, with a paper having me text the check number amount and name. I took and deposited the check, it cleared the first part, see how long it makes it before goes bad. My question to you guys is what happens when they follow through with their part of the deal? Is it no longer a scam? If they never have me use my money or ask for any? How is that a scam? Too good to be true? Maybe but I'd the checks good and they pay you the 500 per week, how is this a scam then? I have screenshots of the text messages, never asked for money yet.

This is what they sent to me:


“Hello, we are very sorry for getting back to you late, Just wanna let you know that we received your info you submitted for the ( AUTOZONE ) advertisement program.

An expert, who will meet you, has been allocated to install the logo on your vehicle.

You will therefore receive your first week payment alongside the money that will be paid to the national car detailer(expert) in the mail via UNITED STATE POSTAL SERVICE (USPS).

So when you get the check in the mail, you will take out your first week pay of $500 plus extra $50 for your running around and you will give the rest to the detailer..

Keep us updated as soon as you receive the check via USPS OK?”

Total Scam!
