Vehicle wrap scam

Got an unsolicited FedEx package last week. Inside was an offer to wrap my vehicle in a Bubble UP ad. Also along with a certified cashier's check for $4500.

Instructions were to deposit the check, contact the installer and "pre pay" prior to the installation....yeah...RIGHT.

I check with Capitol One and the check was fraudulent. Sent jpegs and an email to Bubble Up. They could care less.

Funny schizzle.

Sounds like the old alloy siding scams. They seem to be getting more "creative" as time goes on.

I wonder how much money is being made with scams right now.
I'd bet the world wide figure is astronomical.
