Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received this email from my university (from a legit email of a staff professor). They explained that they were working like in a partnership with Hype Drink and added the link. However, the link wasn’t from hype energy drink but from one created on Wix. After some research online, I learned about the scam. Also the original hypedrinks.com alerts people about the scam because they are not part of it. The scammers say that they will pay you $500 weekly if you accept them to wrap your car with their ad. They will send you the check and then you have to deduct that payment to pay the “graphic specialist” and then they’ll start harassing you to deposit the check. After doing that, the check will bounce and you’ll have to pay for that, which means that you’ll lose around $4,000. Thank God, I did my research before getting the check
