"This is for a mountain dew car wrap for advertising"
The "Mountain Dew Drink Advertise While Driving" auto car wrap or autowrapping advertising below is a scam. The scam claims that vehicle owners with a driver’s license can be paid $500 or more weekly via check (cheque) to have their vehicle wrapped with an advertisement.
After you go to the website Mountaindewwraoinc.wixsite.com/apply, they will contact you via text message, then they will ask you what type of car do you have, after that they will send you a check via USPS, after 2 to 3 weeks. Then they will ask you to deposit into your bank account, in my case were $2850.00 US dolls. They, after being cleared, they tell you to go and buy a money order of $750.00 dlls in 3 places, so the total will be $2250.00 cause you will use $50.00 for shipping and handling, the rest $500.00 are for you as a first-week payment. After purchasing the money orders, you need to take a picture and send the picture back to them. When you send those money orders, after 1 or 2 weeks, that check will bounce and guess who is paying that money…
Well, that’s when I stopped everything and called my bank right away (Fraud Department), that’s all at my end.
