The scammers behind the fraudulent scheme will send fake checks to their potential victims, ask them to cash the check, take their share of the money and wire the rest to a graphic designer. But, the checks are fakes and will bounce. The wired money will actually go to the scammers behind the fraudulent scheme.

The victims will then be left to pay back the bank the wired amount and other charges associated with the processing of the check.

Remember, when you receive an offer that is too good to be true, please do your research before participating, even if the offers seem legitimate.

This scam is similar to the following:

RECEIVED A CHECK DELIVERED BY UPS TODAY. There was no information in the envelope except for a check.

It made no reference to car wrapping for Red Bull Drink Advertisements Company. So, I decided to look up information on the computer. And like the old saying goes "if it's to good to be true, then it's not." I am glad I checked this out before I cashed the check that was sent from NABCO Mechanical & Electrical, Inc. So I hope this helps other people that are thinking they are making good money. And as far as these losers, go out like the rest of us and get a real job.

I applied for the red bull car wrap advertisement from an email from the individuals, but I got the check thru the USPS courier.

They wanted me to put it into my account and let it clear but when I got the check I kind of thought that it was no good and I did go to the bank and told them about it.

I didn't think the check was any good and after my bank checking it out plus I also made a copy of the email to the bank with me and I give them all the info and it is a scam.

do not try to cash one or put it into your account because it is a scam. My bank is turning the info over to the proper people.

I received a text message for the red bull car wrap advertising . The text had a link to click on it which I clicked on and led me to their scam page with a run down of the requirements, payment etc.

I thought it was a scam because it offered a 2 week advance payment delivered via courier and the letter was signed HR department no name,no logo anywhere on the notice,no phone number,no email and was promised a position without them meeting me or even seeing if I would qualify.

Never the less several small red flags I hadn't caught during the first time I read it. Started becoming doubtful of its validity after reading it for the 2nd and 3rd time . I don't understand why the Govt or even the company doesn't pursue looking these scammers up.

Either by tracing it back to "graphic designer" that receives payment or by domain name. It took me 5 mins to research domain name and come up with domain ID registrars email, phone number, address etc. Anyways beware no just emails it's also being done via text especially through those job search texts.

I received this August 8, 2017, after inquiring for more information:

"Redbull® thanks you for your interest in knowing more about this program open to residents of Canada and United States of America only who drive going about their usual daily activities, only with a designed decal of “Redbull®” plastered on your vehicle making it a mobile billboard to help create awareness of the products and services we have to offer.

Our company gets lots of exposure and awareness through this media. The automobile wraps tend to be colorful, eye-catching and attracts lots of attention.It’s also a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can’t avoid seeing the wrapped car beside them. This program will last for 3 months, in which the minimum you can participate is 8 weeks (contract renewable at the end of the 8th week).

The decal will be installed by a representative of the Graphic design company contracted by us for this program and will be removed by the same representative once the contract expires. We will be responsible for any kind of damage made by the wrap(If any), but we are 99% sure that there will not be any sort of damage as the decal is harmless. You will be compensated with $350.00 per week which is essentially a “rental” payment for letting our company advertise on your vehicle and no fee is required from you.

More also, you will receive payment in form of a check via courier service and the 1st payment sent out to you from our North America payment office in charge of payments for this program will cover the cost of installing of the decal on your car and your payment for the at least the 1st 2 weeks of contract period to secure your service in advance.

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Hiring Manager,

Redbull®"
