I answered a job advertisement on Instagram for Dr Pepper car wrap decals to be installed on my vehicle. I did not hear anything from the company until this morning. On my porch was a UPS Express Envelope addressed to me. Inside was a check and a note to contact Mr Amrou. I was supposed to text him at (201) 897-2524, so I did. I screen shot the conversation.
