Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
We received an email about Firestone, Inc wanted to hire people to put stickers/wraps on their cars to promote them and would pay $500 weekly. Figured it wouldn’t hurt to fill out the form, they only asked for name, address, make of car and email address. Then I received the following email from Harry Thomas A Lewis Advertising Agency (***):
"We like to bring to your notice that our representative has mailed out payment to you and we have been informed that Payment of $2600 was sent. Payment covered decal expenses and your first-week payment for our "Michelin" Auto-wrap Advertisement placement on your car via USPS with the Tracking # 9405510200881818347145
As soon as the payment is received. Kindly go ahead and have the check deposited to your bank account. Deduct $500 as your weekly wages with extra $100 for your running around expenses and have the remaining balance of $2000 sent to the specialist that will put the advert on your Car. He has some other cars to wrap near to you.
The specialist will make all the necessary arrangement for the supplies needed for the wrap placement on the car once the payment is received from you.
Specialist advice to split the money into two to avoid delay in receiving the money.
Below is the specialist information you are required to send the fund to via Walmart-Walmart & Moneygram money transfer at Nearest Walmart store close to you:
Send $1000 via Moneygram Money Transfer to: *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ** ***
Then pick up Walmart – Walmart transfer form and send the rest of $1000 to:
Donall Ellison

We will like you to email the Moneygram transfer details for Confirmation upon completion of payment within 24hr you receive the Check.

Note: Michelin will take full responsibility for placing and remove decal on your car and it will not cause any damage. You are entitled to receive $500 weekly wages for carrying out our decal on your Car and upon the process for the wrap placement, you will receive an agreement form to sign by the specialist the same day the wrap will take place at your residence and you will be receiving $500 weekly.

I realized it was a scam and contacted the local ScamPulse.com office so they could warn other people. Then the very next day I received via priority postal mail a check for $2600 from North Country Realty from Malone, NY. I turned it over to the ScamPulse.com too.

Michelin Tire Promotion Program sent me 2350 in check, I am suppose to deposit it in my bank and then take 1800 out and put in another bank (TD) so that the advertiser can come wrap my car. I did deposit the money into my account, but I will not take any money out to send bck to them. Mr. Krystin Santiago has been texting me or e-mailing.
