I apologize if someone has already posted this one--I have been over at SW more than here lately and I didn't see it with a couple of quick searches-- don't have time to sift through all the threads to see if it is here.

Not sure where this one is going--I'm guessing fake check or advance payment for the "wrap" but the IP traces to Lagos so I have no doubt it is advance fee of some kind. I thought it was worthy of some attention if it is new.

MAKE MONEY BY SIMPLY DRIVING YOUR CAR
ADVERTISER WANTED FOR RED BULL
EARN NO LESS THAN $200 WEEKLY TO ADVERTISE ON YOUR CAR.
It is Very Easy and Simple
No Application fees required

How it works Here's the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: RED BULL seeks people -- regular
citizens, not professional drivers -- to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert
for "RED BULL" plastered on your car.The ads are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps,
" that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will cover any portion of your car's exterior surface.

What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness.The auto wraps
tend to be colorful and eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a
captive audience,meaning people who are stuck in traffic and can't avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside
them. This program will last for 3 months and the minimum period you can participate is 1 month.

You will be compensated with a $200 (Two hundred dollars per Week),which is essentially a "rental" payment
for letting our company use the space. RED BULL shall provide experts that would handle the advert
placing on your car.You will receive an up front payment of $400 (Four hundred dollars) inform of check for
accepting to carry this advert on your car and other weekly payments will also come in the form of checks and
delivered at your address weekly.

What you need to do is to contact the email below [email protected]

The following information below will be needed
Full Name:
Age:
Occupation:
Make of car/ year:
Address:
city:
State:
Zip code:
Phone Number(s) mobile/home :
Email Address:

We shall be contacting you as soon as we receive these information, RED BULL looks forward to
working with you.

Whole new twist, but doubtless the same crappy WFH/duff cheque scam Sad

Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:13 pm

I think there are some legitimate outfits that will pay people to do this but I think there are fairly severe criteria that have to be met such as what city you live in, what streets you must drive, the number of miles per day you must drive, etc., etc.

Here is one article about doing this:

Your email sure looks like a scam to me.

I'm in on this. I'm willing to glue a giant Red Bull can to the top of my Lambo Murciélago. I think I'll even paint the Lamborghini bull on the hood red.

I wonder if my tuk-tuk can hold up that can. It's bigger than the car.

Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 3:21 pm

I'm in too .. my 2010 Ford Sierra needs some pimping anyway .. Very Happy

i will forward this to my contact at redbull ( one of my sponsors for a event i put on)
i will post update when/if i get one

I have no doubt it is a scam. Came to my nonprofit's main account--I was about to delete it with the usual tons of spam when "advert" (not used in US) caught my eye, so of course I had to read it. The typical African English and format gave it away, but it is different enough that it might get some bites.
A massbait is just what is needed to help this scammer break in his new format Smile

Some people have already fallen for this scam......

Count me in. The money amount written in parentheses really gives this email away as something other than legitimate.
