Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are contacting potential victims pretending to be Oral B, 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.

Just got one of those checks in the mail lol you would think these scammers would take the time to type everything out with proper grammar and spelling. That's always the red flag for me lol Oral B is a reputable company, why would they be sending me a check to deposit and then I'm responsible for paying the 'technician' lol it's creative but it needs work
