Inside was letter with Cadbury header, instructions on how to deposit check, and to send copy of deposit slip, blanking out sensitive info, of course! And a check for $2,499.00. Yesterday, inside my door was a yellow envelope, (not a priority mail envelope) had a priority slip glued on the envelope. Gave name, address, make/model of car, and was promised a check by priority mail, and he would let me know when it was to arrive. Got one of these random texts to sign up for the Cadbury car wrap program, from a Richard Miles, manager.

And if this were a legitimate car wrap opportunity, wouldn’t the company directly pay the car-wrapping vendor, instead of asking you to do it? If you get a message urging you to deposit a check and wire money back, it’s a scam. And, of course, no one’s wrapping your car. On top of that, you’re on the hook for paying your bank back for the fake check. The money you kept as “your share” disappears, and the money you wired is long gone - no getting it back. Weeks after you wire the money, the check bounces and your bank tells you it was a fake. They tell you to deposit the check, keep part of it as your share, and wire the rest to another company that will wrap your car. But when the “company” sends you a check, it’s for much more than that - a couple thousand dollars. The message says you’ll make a couple hundred bucks.
Or someone might send you a message - maybe because they saw your profile or resume on a job site. You might see an ad on a job board or on social media. It’s only easy money for the scammer who placed the ads. Have you seen ads promising easy money if you shrink-wrap your car - with ads for brands like Monster Energy, Red Bull, or Pepsi? The “company” behind the ads says all you have to do is deposit a check, use part of it to pay a specified shrink-wrap vendor, and drive around like you normally would.
