Comment / ReviewRemember about fake checks:
Upon depositing a check, shown and available funds do not mean the check is 100% real or good. It can take days or weeks for you bank to catch a fake check. Scammers exploit this delay and tell victims to transfer money before the check is flagged.

How to avoid getting wrapped up in a car wrap scam:

No matter who you are or how a scammer reaches out to you, this scam tends to play out the same way. If you respond to the text, email, or ad, the scammer will send you a check to deposit. They’ll say to use some of that money to pay the “installer” who’ll wrap your car with the ad. The scammer will also tell you how to pay the “installer:” by money order, with a payment app, with cryptocurrency, or by wiring the money — all ways that let them get the money quickly.
