WELCOME TO THE PAID-TO-DRIVE MARKETING CAMPAIGN - Where everyday drivers GET PAID

This to notify you that your application for paid-to-drive marketing campaign is approved. You have been shortlisted by an advertiser to take part in the next campaign. This program is very easy and straightforward, No Application fees required.

According to a survey last year by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a vast majority of Americans drove an average of about 10,900 miles and spent 290 hours on the road, moving past an audience of thousands of people. This is marketing exposure that has value to brands. Why shouldn’t there be a means for drivers to earn extra money for putting an ad on their car? - It just made sense. Just how effective is vehicle wrap advertising? If a business wrapped just one vehicle, it would have the capability to net 30,000-80,000 mobile impressions each day. The Paid to Drive marketing concept has delivered follower-ship overtime for various advertisers/brands.

HOW IT WORKS

The basic concept of the "paid to drive campaign" is that it seeks regular citizens, professional drivers and all vehicle owners above eighteen (18) years old, who would go about their normal routine as they usually do with a brand’s logo or advert.These wraps are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps". They are carefully wrapped on a certain portion of your vehicle (either installed on both front doors of your vehicle or your rear window will display an attractive advertisement).These decals are easily removable; they would be installed neatly and carefully without any damage to your vehicle/door/window.

PAYMENT PLAN

Under this program, you are considered as an independent contractor you will be receiving your payment weekly. The program will last for 16 weeks (4 months). You have the option to renew or opt out of the program at the end of the 16 weeks. You will be paid on Friday of every week $400.00 (16) weeks. However, your starter check will comprise of your first week upfront payment plus a refundable deposit that will be sent out to the secured deposit department.

****************************************************************

After a couple of interactions through texts with a person with the name Henry Gill (347)349 6903. I was sent a check through Fedex. before I deposited the check I wanted to make sure it was legit. I called the bank and they did not find any records of the check number, name of the company or the remitter's name. They also mentioned that this bank only has branches in Ohio and this check came from Perry GA according to the Fedex envelope. I haven't had more interaction with this person after his last text.

I truly believe this is a scam and would like to stop before others get scammed!!

I am enclosing picture of the check along with the envelope in which was received.
