Wrap advertising is the marketing practice of completely or partially
covering (wrapping) *a vehicle in an advertisement or livery, thus
turning it into a mobile billboard. This can be achieved by simply
painting the vehicle surface, but it is becoming more common today to use
large vinyl sheets as decals. These can be removed with relative ease,
making it much less expensive to change from one advertisement to
another. Vehicles with large, flat surfaces, such as buses and light-rail
carriages, are fairly easy to work with, though smaller cars with curved
surfaces can also be wrapped in this manner. Wrap advertising is
available to anybody irrespective of the vehicle you drive.

We are currently seeking to employ individual’s world wide. How would you
like to make money by simply driving your car wrapped for Monster Energy
Drink®

How it works?
Here’s the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: Monster Energy
Drink® *seeks people -- regular citizens, professional drivers to go
about their normal *routine as they usually do, only with a big advert
for "Monster Energy Drink®" plastered on your car. The ads are typically
vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps,"that almost seem to be painted
on the vehicle, and which will cover any portion of your car's exterior
surface.


What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of
exposure and awareness. The auto wraps tend to be colorful, eye-catching
and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a
captive audience,meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid
seeing the wrapped car alongside them. This program will last for 3
months and the minimum you can participate is a month.

You will be compensated with $600 every 2 weeks which is essentially a
"rental"payment for letting our company use the space no fee is required
from you. Monster Energy Drink® *shall provide experts that would handle
the advert placing on your car. You will receive an up front payment of
$300 inform of check via courier service for accepting to carry this
advert on your car.

It is very easy and simple no application fees required. Get back with
the following details if you are interested in these offer.

Final response from me just moments ago

F you, go jump in the lake


Of course I didn't depo it or cash it but I sure am enjoying messing with them :thumbsup:
 
I did this one time, I received a USPS money order in mail ... it looked real till i placed it by the $1.00 real one taped to my desk to check for fakes. the guy after I tell him I cashed it, he threatens to call the Police. I say your speaking to a FBI agent, he gets pissed. I say I also have one of your other money orders you sent to a friend who is a agent also and all information is the same and money orders are 1 number apart. He hangs up, LOL..
 
Take it to a Wells Fargo branch and see what they have to say about it.
 
LOL i only skimmed thru it but is it just me cuz im missing what the scam is.

You are supposed to cash the check, then send the money back to the scammers. A little while later, the bank will realize the check is no good. By that time it becomes your problem and you've already given the money to the bad guys.

Some folks did cash and forward funds. And a week or so later as Flicka says they got stuck owing the bank the money they forwarded.
