I dont think i had to pay except getting to the stations werent reimbursed. One out there ive experience which was a legit thing was standing outfront of a gas station with a couple tablets and get customers to take that gas stations survey that i recieved the tablets instructions incentive for customers when surveys complete. If say its a real bank call them ask them to verify if it came from a legit account before cashing it. Never ever deposit always if u still question it always take it to either bank its drawn on if local, if not the google, alexa, coranna, alex, or whatever other new search talk to your alexa ask where is that bank. All of them will turn out to be scams! I have been able to be a little smarter then these guys but they keep coming back for more or sending their friends. I have been getting these things for years now, not much changes with them, doesnt matter what, letter and check/cashiers check/money orders/ electronic checks, and it doesnt matter what kind of employment/ job they need you to do from personal assistant, housekeeper, um to how its sent Email, Postal mail, or text messages, even in a group message.

Want to know more? Read our articles to learn how to spot variations on fake checks and money wiring scams. Has this happened to you? File a complaint at ftc.gov/complaint - select Scams and Rip-offs, then Counterfeit Checks. 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.
