Kent State Students Prepare for Architecture Integrated Design Competition

LeAnn Rimes and MAMMA MIA! On Stage This Summer at Kent State TuscarawasPosted April 30, 2012
VeggieTales to perform in September
Three dynamic performances scheduled for summer and fall are being announced for the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas. The two summer events include a return engagement of the Broadway hit MAMMA MIA! on June 14 at 7:30 p.m. and LeAnn Rimes Acoustic on July 26 at 7:30 p.m. VeggieTales Live – God Made You Special is scheduled for Sept. 23 with shows at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
"We are thrilled to have back the highly sought and well-loved musical, MAMMA MIA!," says Mike Morelli, general manager of the Performing Arts Center. "We are hoping to accommodate those folks who were not able to get tickets to the sold-out November 2011 performance."
MAMMA MIA! is the smash hit musical that combines the songs of ABBA with an enchanting story of love, laughter and friendship. Writer Catherine Johnson's sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.
"LeAnn Rimes is a country icon and we are fortunate to have her perform here at Kent State Tuscarawas," Morelli says. "We are excited to be able to showcase LeAnn in an acoustic performance, which will make use of the outstanding sound in our theatre, which has been praised by artists Michael Bolton, Clint Black and Darius Rucker."
Rimes is a country and pop singer who has received two Grammy awards, three Academy of Country Music awards, a Country Music Association award, 12 Billboard Music Awards and one American Music Award.
A sneak peek at the 2012-2013 season, which will not be announced in full until July, highlights the VeggieTales performance in September. "VeggieTales Live: God Made You Special is a faith-based show scheduled for a matinee and an evening performance," says Morelli. "Families love this traveling show based on the extremely popular TV series and feature-length films. It brings to life Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber and Junior the Asparagus."
Families everywhere can enjoy seeing their favorite Veggies live and on stage. Larry the Cucumber at eight feet and green and Bob the Tomato at five feet round and red make for an eye-popping event that charms and delights children. A high-energy song and dance spectacular, this show will have fans singing along, dancing in the aisles and smiling so hard their teeth ache! Fan favorites include classic silly songs like His Cheeseburger, I Love My Lips, The Hairbrush Song and many more.
Tickets prices are: MAMMA MIA!, $48-$70; LeAnn Rimes Acoustic, $49–$69; and VeggieTales Live – God Made You Special, $15–$30. Tickets for these three events go on sale to Performing Arts Center members on April 30 and to the public on May 14 at 8 a.m. Tickets can be purchased at the Performing Arts Center box office, online at www.tusc.kent.edu/pac or by calling 330-308-6400. The box office is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Free parking is available for all shows. The Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas is located at 330 University Dr. NE, New Philadelphia.

Director Bong Joon-Ho Explains Harvey Weinstein's Problem With Snowpiercer
Director Bong Joon-Ho explains.

Director Bong Joon-Ho explains.
This doesn't need to happen.
Remember The Crying Game? It's like that, apparently.
That will start in 2016.
This back-and-forth doesn't stop being silly.
Warner Bros. used that title for a short film in 1916, so ...
To late November.
It beat Dreamgirls' per-theater record.
Harvey's threatening to leave the MPAA.
During the throes of awards season.
The Paul Rudd comedy is going to the Weinstein Company.
Miramax and the Weinsteins are teaming up to put out sequels to Miramax's greatest hits. Get ready for 'Rounders 2'!
They've brought on super-lawyer David Boies to fight the ratings board.
Donna Gigliotti, a Miramax vet who produced 'Shakespeare in Love,' is the studio's new head of production.
Rating given based on "excessive language."
Studio has about $335 million in debt to pay off.
Christoph Waltz got nothing from the Weinsteins, but his next studio paid up for his Best Supporting Actor win.
Eli Roth is tweezing in preparation for the big show.
With the help of some rich people, of course.
Fox took it after the Weinsteins saw footage and concluded "it's not very good at all."
Bad news for fans of 3-D fish-on-human violence.
Says a Weinstein Company guy: "At this moment in time there has been no plan between us nor the theater chains that we deal with to cut any theaters."
"Goldman Sachs and Ambac have basically agreed to work with the Weinsteins to figure out a way to have the studio go forward in a healthy manner."
We don't really see this turning around unless they recut the movie to include more Fergie.
The Weinsteins are pretty happy this morning, while Clint Eastwood no doubt added a shot of vodka to his morning prune juice.

I had not heard of this new online series from Hulu, until I read Joseph Susanka's piece — but what a fascinating premise!
The series' premise is startlingly simple: the Man (Xander Berkeley) sits in a booth at Cadillac Jack's Driver-In and waits. People—convinced that he can "get things" for those who want them badly enough—visit his booth, and he makes a bargain with each of them: if they complete the task he assigns, they will get what they so desperately desire.
But his bargains are harsh and unsettling: James, a successful businessman seeking to avert his son's death from leukemia, is ordered to kill a young girl. Sister Carmel, a faithful nun for fifteen years who yearns to "hear God again," is told that the only way to guarantee the return of her faith is to become pregnant. Mrs. Tyler, a feeble retiree struggling to cope with her husband's Alzheimer's, is tasked with detonating a bomb in a busy coffee shop, while Jenny, a pretty, shallow young woman, must rob a bank in order to achieve the physical beauty for which she longs.
How far will they go to get what they want?
It sounds sensational — and sensationalistic — but Susanka notes that it's really an invitation to ask ourselves a few things:
"Two wrongs don't make a right' is the sensible response to the choices confronting James, Mrs. Tyler, and their fellow sufferers, but the viewer is not let off the hook with that casual truism, because ultimately The Booth is a singe to the conscience: How often are we willing to compromise on smaller matters, setting aside what we know to be right and just for the sake of our own desires? Surely, we would not kill another to further our own ends, but how many of us are willing to ridicule and belittle others in the feverish building up of our own importance? Few of us stand ready to rob a bank for the sake of our own beauty, yet the number of those prepared to wage a costly and outlandish battle against the natural decline of their physical form is frighteningly large. Are those two groups really so far apart? How far will we go to get what we want?
Read Joseph's whole column, and yeah, this definitely sounds like something worth exploring:

Jean - Q about BOSU video...
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 08-04-2010 - 10:21am
When I did the first DVD a while back, I remember feeling like my BOSU was inflated too much. So, I deflated it a little bit and that seemed to help. Today, I did part of Mindy's section and my BOSU feel *too* deflated. Almost like the surface was so unstable that I was concerned about rolling an ankle. I also had trouble going on and off of quickly because there was good traction between the rubber and my shoe.
Granted, I don't do classes or teach so this was my first experience doing cardio per se on the BOSU so it could just be a lack of conditioning on my part. Have you noticed discrepancies on the inflation per workout?
|Wed, 08-04-2010 - 12:50pm
Do you have an older BOSU (black rim) or newer one (gray)? We have both at the gym, the black ones are much taller than the gray, when properly inflated. Theoretically, the top of the BOSU should be 8 1/2"--easy to measure w/ a piece of paper. The gray rimmed ones are about 8 1/2".
Personally, I think there are some safety concerns with using the BOSU, ones that you've pointed out, plus it puts your ankles in a plantar flexed, pronated position which increases the chance, on an unstable surface, for injury IF you're not careful. I think it's good to work that way, because that's we're never stable in life (haha) but it does increase risk of injury. I always cue that people need to keep their feet flat and not let them turn out (push down on their big toe, use the adductors to pull in their knees). Also, people need to use crosstrainers, not running shoes, on them. Anyway, probably more than you wanted to know...
With the problems you're having, it does sound like it's underinflated but I have to say, I find it that way at conferences, though that's the way they say it's supposed to be. I like them overinflated, I guess, but in a gym setting, w/ many people using them, they pop off the rim and you can't do much after that but throw it away.

The view Location Jacuzzi and swimming pool
No coffee machine
Location was good as it was within a short walk of the main train station.The apartment was large and had a balcony with a small view of the lake. There was a super view from the gardens of Lugano and the lake.
The swimming pool maintenance had not been completed despite assurances. The apartment was furnished to a basic standard only.
Nice place with nice views Parking availability
Reception is not 24 hours You have to check-in in certain times
The Staff The Location The View The Service
The pool is just amazing! Warm water, excellent for young children. The hotel is worth it just for the pool. The amazing view. Cleaning every day (well they used to but forgot our last day)
Slow internet connection. No coffee machine in the room. The hotel rooms are old apartments of elderly people. This is OK but the bathroom could be improved. Espacially the shower and hanging facilities (no space for towels ).
Only 2 stops away from the main station (take bus no.4). The friendly reception is very helpful and polite. The room is spacious with big sofa bed and fully equipped kitchen. Everything is clean and new (look like it is recently refurbished).
Location and Ambiance
Bathroom and bedroom doors without lock !!1
Spacious rooms with good views Useful kitchen and other hotel facility Good parking if you have a car

The kitchen facilities. The comfortable bed and the spacious apartment.the wifi
View as we were on 1st floor
loction was good very close to both train station and city center. good security. i liked the place.
need more attention on general cleaning.
We visited this hotel with two small babies, the hotel provided with baby cot, the apartment was very large and well equipped. We had a nice balcony with a lake view, no disturbance from other guests although the hotel was fully booked. And both rooms had shatters so the kids slept longer!
location near train station excellent view of lake from 3rd floor
The view was amazing and the rooms were spacious. It was nice and quiet.
Bed was a bit soft in room 235 but 437 was excellent.
location, very quiet, large rooms
I really like the receptionist espically Ms Admira , she was really helpful and great girl in dealing with gusts and I wish to deal with such a receptionist like her
Location, indoor pool, size of rooms is amazing, you won't get it anywhere else. It must be at least 120 square meters. Balcony amazing.
Staff not very helpful, no real reception, all furniture is IKEA which is absolutely fine, because the deco is lovely, but the quality of mattrass is a catastrophy and this the most important thing in a room.
We paid extra for a view of Lake Lugano, it was definitely worth it! The apartments are a climb up the hillside so you need to be fit. The apartment was excellent, everything modern and clean. We had a two nights stay and would have loved to stay longer.
As with most hotels you have to Pay for car parking which if you were staying for 7 days would be expensive. We didn't mind because it is underground and secure.
The accommodation was exceptional, spacious and well furnished. The balcony was equipped with a table and two chairs as well as an "easy chair". We only used the double bed so cannot comment on the sofa bed. The system for parking was simple and very secure, as was the whole hotel complex.
The menu was very unclear on what breakfast consisted of. It was very clear on what carried an additional charge! Being Switzerland food costs were high but if you self catered the kitchen area was very well equipped.
we asked for room to be clean and it was not
Beautiful view. Spacious apartment. Nice furniture. Good bed (although we would have preferred 2 mattresses instead of one). Great pool and whirlpool. Friendly staff. Good cleaning and frequent exchange of towels and bedding.
There is not much negative things to say about the hotel. One thing that bothered us, but its not the the hotels fault, was the smell of exhaust fumes from the very bussy road nearby. Even in the morning when opening the door to the balcony we could smell it. We think CHF 18 per person for a breakfast in an already pricey hotel is a too much, we took care of our own breakfast. Much cheaper and the view was better.

The Rap on Car Wrap Scams
A new variation of the fake check scam is making the rounds. It works like this: scammers place ads on the internet or send mass emails to attract people looking for extra money. They claim they will pay to shrink-wrap your car with an advertisement of a popular company. All you have to do is drive your car as you normally would.
An easy way to increase your income? Only if you're a scammer. For the recipient, it's a losing proposition.
The scammers promise to pay you a certain amount to "rent" the space on your car, but they send you a check for more than that amount. They tell you to deposit the check, take your share of the money, and wire the rest of it to the company that will wrap your car. Weeks after you wire the money, which could be thousands of dollars, you find out the deposited check was a fake.
It takes only a few days for your bank to make the money available to you, but it can take weeks for your bank to determine that a check is a fake. You are responsible for any check you deposit: when a check turns out to be a fake, you have to pay the bank back.
These four tips will help you avoid the hassle altogether.
- If someone urges you to wire money, it's probably a scam. Con artists often insist that people wire money because it's nearly impossible to reverse the transaction and follow the money.
- Don't send money to someone you don't know, either in cash or through a wire transfer service. Consider using a payment option that provides protection.
- Don't agree to deposit a check from someone you don't know and then wire money back. No matter how convincing the story, it's a lie.
- Don't respond to any messages that ask for your personal or financial information, regardless of whether the message comes as an email, a phone call, a text, or an ad.
Should you get an offer that requires you to deposit a check and wire money back:
- Throw it out. Legitimate companies don't pay you by asking you to wire money to them. If you're tempted to investigate the offer, ask for a check drawn from a local bank or local branch. Then, visit the bank in person, give them the check, but don't withdraw any funds until your bank tells you the check is valid.
I just had this happen but asked my bank about the check before doing anything with it. I have also saved all the emails and info. Where can I report this scam and let the business named on the check know I have it.
thank you
You can file a complaint about this scam at ftc.gov/complaint.
You also may be able to alert the business named on the check by visiting the company's website and looking for a "contact us" link.
The very same thing happened to me, I even emailed the company that was on the check and never received a reply, I have reported this to scambook.com, they are working with me for a possible resolution.
The FBI is always interested in these kinds of scams. Take the check, and any correspondence, written or e-mail, to the nearest FBI office or to your local police department if no FBI office nearby. Ask your local police to forward it to the FBI Internet Fraud division. Most police are willing to do that.
This happened to me to. went to Appleton Wisconsin Police Department thinking they would put a warning on their website to help others be aware and I was turned away, told I was not actually scammed because I did not lose any money. never got to even talk to a police officer, the reception area just blew me off!
Its bacccckkk! I just had that happen to me and now Im freaking out because my name is out there with my address and isnt that all they need to really wreck havoc on your life? So watch out!
Don't freak out, just do what u can and fight back, too many folks r being blown off n it's really understandable but with the technology out there to make a bad check ,then more should b done to stop it. I will b a pain in some 1s side till something is done. Haha
2 places have recently tried to do this to me.
They are using Jet Blue Airline and NOS Energy
Drinks. Possibly targeting the unemployed.
THANK YOU for putting this out and naming the bastards. I just receive a check from jetblue Airlines and I felt it was too good to be true so I started asking questions and im glade I started asking them cause their answers led me here.
I had it happen to me. I got a job opportunity (or so I thought) and the company sent me what appeared to be genuine U.S. Postal money orders (they even had the water mark)as an upfront payment for my services, though they had not even told me what the job would be yet. I did not think it was a scam because they were sending me the checks first. I took the checks to my bank to deposit them. I had briefly scammed over the letter that came with the money orders but I had a lot of errands to do that day so I rushed to deposit the checks and ten minutes later my bank teller was waiting on the bank manager, then they told me they closed my bank account because the checks were fake! I was so mad because they closed my account. I decided to go to the post office to see if they thought the money orders were real or not..they said they were not and the way that they could tell was not by the appearance because they looked real but each one was made out for more than 900 dollars and the post master informed me that postal money orders are never for more than five hundred. I went to the police but they did not appear to know what to do about it either and I have since opened a new bank account with another bank. I also wrote back to the company telling them what happened (and not too nicely either) they assured me there must be some mistake and still wanted me to go somewhere and cash the checks!! I told them I gave them to the Police and a copy of their email transactions with me and I have not heard anything from the police or the crooks ever since. Thank God I could not cash them..I could have ended up in jail plus owing the bank.
One of the biggest clues that it's a scam is if they send you too much more or pay your first. Where on Earth can you find a legit job that throws money at people and trusts they'll show up for work?
I rcd one of those Car Wrap emails also but it sounded too good to be true even though you can be easily persuaded to give it a try. Anytime they mention YOU deposit a chk or moneygram, money order or whatever and YOU send the rest to someone else, that sounds odd to me. Any Reputable company does not do business this way.
Was almost a victim. My family has fallen on some hard times and husband was looking for extra work and got this e-mail and signed up. Next thing you know we get a check that was sent certified mail for $2650. the next day they tell us to keep $500 and wire $2650 to a company in tennessee. If i am in nevada, why am i send the money to tennesse to wrap the car. red flag 1. they also tell us it has to be done that day and send us some nasty e-mails when we teell them our bank won't release the funds until the next Friday. Checked my bank account and, sure enough, the money has been removed from my bank account and it says "returned/fraudalent check" in the notes. luckily for us, we are not actually out any money except the $25 returned check fee. I am ok with that.
hello, i just recently recieved an email for car wraping company, i replied and two weeks later i recieved a check for 2,450.00 i was very surprised because it was a just a check i received with no instructions. I left out of town that day and left the check at home, but i received various of emails from this company asking me to depsit the cehck and wire the money to a Sara Hess in WV i was alarmed and decided to check online about frauds just because the way of them going about me wirering the money to a diffrent state if the check is coming from a company in called Tooling Technlogy in OH, i thank god i checked firts and follow my gut instinct. Iam glad i read this first before taking any action, i wasnt desperate for money beacuse of the fact i was just looking to make extra to pay off some school loans, that the reasong i did not deposit the check so fast, iam going to take this check and emails to someone who can verify is this check is fake, ih ave not responded for the emails, but i just recently received a txt msg from a 909 area code that is in corona. This is all just making sense now. But thank you for posting this it made me very aware of this is all a scam, THANK YOU A MILLION!!!
Did u have to pay all that money back?
I too had this happen.....rec'd the checks (2) within 2 days. I deposited the first one and waited to see if it would clear...it did and the next day it was put on hold. I kindly wrote back to the "Company" and told them my bank declined the check.
You cannot trust anything in your email anymore.
Just had this happen to me! The only good thing about the scam was I didn't pay them one dime. By the way My bank was absolutley no help! car wrap is a total scam read these comments and beware. Tell your family and friends!
LET'S SCAM THE SCAMMERS! I have decided to get even with the scammers. Every time I get an email with an offer to car wrap my car, I answer YES and make them send me the FAKE check via UPS. Once I get the check, I tell them it has been deposited and give them a FAKE Western Union Money Transfer Number. When they reply that the number in no good, I tell them they have been scammed. I have filed all kinds of complaints and have talked to my local FBI and Police offices, but there is nothing they can do. At least, I am getting even by wasting their time and money by having to send their check via UPS. So far I got 5 suckers to send me their FAKE checks. Have some fun!
Sounds like an excellent idea if i had the time to do so, if everyone were to do this, it would shut these folks down instantly.
I just got an offer this week I will do what u said get back at them thank,you
I JUST received my check in the mail. Nothing with it. No instructions, nothing! I had actually went looking to make extra money on line. I couldn't even tell you where I saw the ad but thought Ill give it a shot. I thought it sounded so easy and to good to be true. Was my luck changing?? I answered their email that I would do it, went on vacation, came back, check my email and there was no reply. I guessed they weren't interested. I used an email account that I normally don't use, so I didn't go back into that email account for a week. Saturday morning I check the mail, and there is a "EXPRESS MAIL" from MELVIN NATHAN, FREELAND PET SEA FOOD,3949 ALHAMBIA ST, FT LAUDERDALE, FL 33304..A check inside FOR $2,430.00 and nothing else. The check itself was from a Company "TWIST INC.". Address, 47 SOUTH LIMESTONE ST., JAMESTOWN, PA 45336. My boyfriend and I looked at each other and then tried to figure out where it came from. After looking up the return address and then the name on the check...which by the way one address was a restaurant had nothing to do with a pet food company. The other address, the one on the check, was something completely different. Then I remembered the car wrap thing and remembered they said they would send the check in advance. After checking that email box I found the letter about them sending this check. I was to keep $300 and wiring the balance to an account. Of course by them we were really skeptical and goggled car wrap scams .. and WA LA found this site. I haven't don't anything yet, like take it to the police or FBI. I may take it into my bank and let them do the investigation.
If you haven't yet, make sure you file a complaint with the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint!
When I get an obviously fake email from people like the car wrap scammers I reply as though I am interested but for my name and mailing address I use:
Mr. J. Edgar Hoover
935 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20535
Notice anything familiar about that address? It is the headquarters of the FBI in Washington!
Be careful out there...
Thank you!!. I decided to Google this company before answering text.
Thanks for the tip. I answered this email, and gave them address below as you shared for FBI. Hopefully they will investigate. They have been texting for 2 days about the check arriving. Thank you again!!!
This happened to me. I response to an ad on craigslist to make extra money. He told me that he would do a wrap advertising on my car, first I would have to send money first to get weekly installments. Sent me a $2400 fake check, which I deposited in my account and it went through. However, I read the email wrong I sent a guy in Florida $350. I was suppose to keep $350 for myself and send the rest of the money off. The next day they texted me with all these rude text message and told me to send the rest of the money. I tried to call of three of the numbers that they texted me from but no answer. So, later that day the so-called boss called me telling me to send the money. But by that time I was skeptical because I knew that this was not a real company by their behavior. And I thought everything through and realized that I been scammed out of $350. I reported the incident to my local police department, Western Union, FTC, ic3.gov, and many other agencies. I should have done my research. Please don't fall for this scam.
I received an email requesting personal information. They promised to pay me $500.00 a week to advertise Monster Energy drink on my car.
I immediately called Monster Energy and they told me it was a scam. I have saved the email from the scammer should you need it as proof in the future. thank you.
Yep, same thing here. Just got off phone with corporate office, it's a scam. Love Monster drink, so thought cool....but again, its a scam!
I received also offer from monster drink but thought it was to easy so I called the main offices of monster drink and was told it was fake.
This just happened to me, I too called Monster! I love the Java's! I haven't gotten the check yet but will be taking it right to the police dept as soon as it get's here!! I feel so stupid, I almost did it!! I would love to gut those scammers like a fish! God help them if they ever try to get a hold of me again. I can't wait to hear what they have to say when I tell them I have given their check to the FBI!!
Can you send me a copy of your email form the scammer?
I am shamefully a victim. MONSTER ENERGY DRINK SCAM car wrap. I blame the bank because they told me the funds were available, they know right? NOT , I was sent a check from Buckeye polymers inc, FIRST CLUE , being disabled I thought a car wrap with advertisement would be side cash, $400.00 per week for 3 months. WRONG. GOT A CK FOR $2800.00 for work to be done. I keep 400.00 for first pay and $50.00 for running around. Long story short bank told me funds were available so I withdrew $2400 to transfer 2000 and pay bal on completion. Screw me cause later in the day I'm out $2800
I was scammed also. Boy do I feel stupid. Police etc have been notified.
Just happened to me. Hope there's a way to stop this scam.
My girlfriend forwarded an email asking me if my step son wanted to make extra $. It was supposedly from Monster Energy Drink asking if anyone in my area wanted to make extra $ by having a car wrap put on car. After a few emails back and forth saying he had been excepted in a weeks time a check came in the mail for $2440.00 (priority mail). I had no idea what the check was for. It had Oak Ridge Assoc. Universities Inc. where it was from. I thought maybe my step son had won a scholarship because he is in last year of High School. Nothing else is in envelope. Then I go to my computer and there is an email from the person communicating with me about the job that a check for $2840.00 is coming with a tracking # and let them know when I get it and that I must cash it within 24 hrs. and send Western Union a check drawn on my bank for the amount minus $500.00 and the Western Union charge and this is for the cost of the decal and they give me a name and address of someone in Ca. that I should send the check to. Once they say western Union and that I should mail a check, I figure it's got to be a scam, so I write back on the computer can not send a check and they write back if I am uncomfortable to send a check I should send cash. I am posting this because this scam I thought was elaborate and anyone young or old could fall for this. I filed a complaint with the FTC and also wrote Monster Energy Drink and they could not have been nicer telling me to file the complaints and hold onto all the correspndence for local police authorities.
My son just got one of these checks by Priority Mail. Now it's time to scam these creeps back. Here's how; Once you get the check tell them you have no bank account and you live in the country and there is no western Union close to you. Tell them you could send cash by mail as your mail carrier picks up and that they need to send you a postage prepaid envelope. Then, when they agree (and they will), send them the amount thay are requesting, NOT in real money, but Monopoly money. Just copy or scan and print out the amount they want in Monopoly money and mail it to them (DO NOT copy real money and send it, that would be a Felony crime that could get you in hot water). Now, you have cost them the mailing of the check and the cost of the second mailing of the postage prepaid envelope. Now that we have the prepaid envelope with an address, we dropped it off at the Sheriff's office and they are communicating with the FBI to try and track them.
Beware of too easy away to make $
I also was looking for PT work on Craigslist & replied to the MONSTER ENERGY DRINK CAR WRAP SCAM. They sent a $3000.check & then 3 days later another $3000 Check came i dont plan on even trying to attempt to cash them now. But i came close & what a train wreck that would of been. I WILL BE MAKING Any & All Reports I can, to everyone i can.
I have received this scam and need to report it. I have phone Monster and they emailed all the information I need to report them.
I must be a magnet for these types of offers scams, I have enough bad paper to cover a wall. I am glad that the word is out and wish we could see that something was really in place to stop these people.
I was contacted also about a monster drink car wrap, I have not received the check yet, but thought I would double check with Monster Drink and they informed me it was a scam. I'm retired and thought that this would be great, it would pay for my gas and travel expenses. Sure am glad I checked this out. What does one do when the check gets here?
I had this happen to me. Sounded so legit. I recieved my check for $2,350 2 days ago. All they sent with the check was a piece of paper prompting me to check my e-mail for further instruction. They told me all the same things they told all of you. Deposit the check, deduct $500 for myself and wire the rest of the money to the car wrap "specialist". I got on here and seen all these comments. So I told them I didn't have a bank account and asked them for a number I could speak with someone at. They sent me an email telling me just to cash the check and they didn't give me a phone number. I haven't done anything with the checks and I have not emailed them since, but I checked my email today and whata you know. I have a threatening e-mail on there sayin - that I've kept silent, and that I'm acting funny with their money and that they are going to get the FBI involved and track me down. I gotta admit, I'm a little worried lol. What do I do?
Dont forget to request to have their email account closed and banned....
save the 1000 others, they are scamming from making the same mistake you just made or about to make...
if you get their email blocked,
and if yahoo, gmail, hotmail stop giving these same criminals with the same computer / network card mac address over and over and over....
these scams would not exist...
the problem is companies like
skype, etc
and the 100 other sites that allow criminals to create millions of fake accounts, identities to hide behind and do it repetitively,
over, over, over and tHEY take no action to block them.. when they can block them before they EVER CREATE THE ACCOUNT
It is so easy... to identify and block them
AND CHEAPER to block them
then to constantly ... respond to the complaints
Wonder why they don't ?
ask yourself...
or them.... WHY they DO NOT DO WHAT MORALLY, ETHICALLY THEY SHOULD DO....
I got scammed by this car wrap job for Moster Drink. I though it was a refund from my title company on my house. I research the check and it was a title company , I deposited the check and it cleared in 24 hours. I send money to Weston Union to a Miguel Romero in Oaland Ca. Than two days later I get a email that he had an car accident and to go back to Weston union to resend the money to Lore Wayne. Mind you than I get a second check for the same amount of the first one $1,750.35 . When I go to Westen Union the has been picked up, so I text this people than have the money. But than I call Westen Union and the money is still there I get Refund of $1,250.35 , but no flags when up I send the money Found out yesterday that the check was a fake, and that now I own my bank this money. Plus $ 12 return fee , the $500 for my weekly paid when to my church to help fit the sidewalk . I asked my bank before I took the money out if the check cleared , and the teller said yes, so I though it was ok, however yesterday I was told by the teller that chase bank clears all checks by 24 hours so that you have the money although it's not cleared by the company that issues it. Now I waiting to see how I can work with my bank to pay this money back. Furthermore the guy who send the email goes by Ruben Peters, and I think there are also using Red Bull for car wrap. I called monster drink after the fact and learned its a scam. I posted my in Facebook to warn people. And I know it's a matter of time that these people will be caught, I trust God for this.
I ran into this with the red bull shrink wrap advertising scam. I knew there was a 90% probability that it was a scam but decided I would play along until the scam was obvious. When they sent an email indicating that they would send me a large check and that I would send them part of it back, I emailed them "scams up cancel". I received the check any way. I ignored it. Now they are threatening me with legal action. I am ignoring that also. I'm a little concerned that they may have grounds for judgment of some sort. I'm pretty sure that they will eventually go away if I continue to ignore them because its obvious that I would win in any kind of legitimate legal action. I'm still not completely sure that they can't cause me some kind of trouble
Just received the first check. After reading all these complaints i decided to email the original respondant that im returning the check and will not be presenting it to my bank
These people actually took out a 1/8 page advertisement in our local weekly newspaper so I thought this was a legitimate way to earn extra money. I've seen cars with these ads on them so I thought, "why not" I could quit my second job. Long story short, I got an email asking a lot of inappropriate questions like my occupation, gender, age, etc., so I googled car wrap scams and found tons of postings about it. I like the idea of trying to scam them back, but decided to file a complaint with the FTC and also notify the local paper instead. I already have to work 60 hours a week to make ends meet, I don't have time to spend scamming them back. Good luck to all of you who can, go get them for the rest of us!
I am currently talking to a guy about car wrapping. He posted an add on craigslist and I responded. He told me he would send money in advance and to fallow instructions when I receive the check. Having read all previous comments on this page before, I asked him if I would have wire any money. He said no and that once I cash my check to call a # and that a person would come out to my house and wrap it there and that I was to pay that individual once the wrapping was done. Is this still a scam??
I wonder about this one also.....nothing has been said about deposit or wire or anything and i did make sure to ask..... and told them i would not be depositing it nor would i write a check or anything else. I would give the person the money to wrap if needed but nothing more. He said all of that was ok and check it is on way... a certified cashiers check at that from a bank and with a tracking number..... we will see what happens... still sounds like a scam but going to see what happens so we can stop some of the scammers
The ad is now on Craigslist for the 5 hour Energy Drink. Keep a look out.
I just got a check too..bank put check on hold so well see if it's fake or not. Reported to the FBI and unknowing people and companies they use. Figure they may get caught someday.
Hello there fellow readers, I hope to bring you guys another so called company to watch out for. My husband answered an ad on Craig's list. It was advertising "GET PAID TO DRIVE", wrap your car in Captain Morgan's logo, get paid $400.00 a week. They asked the following questions: my age, what my occupation was, what make, model and year my car was, and the address I wanted my check to be sent to. Just like all of your previous post..2 days later we receive a check in the mail for $1,900.00 . We were to cash the check , keep our initial payment of $400.00 then send the rest to a lady in Michigan. The check was from a real company and from a real bank. I was excited. We needed the extra cash and I was trying to convince my husband that it wasnt a fraud because we didnt have to send money first. The bank wouldnt cash a fake check right??? Wrong....always go with your gut. #2. A legit company will always want to meet you in person before sending you any type of cash.
Hey, I got an email perhaps a month and a half back asking if I would like to earn $400.00 per week to let them put an advertisement on my car, a Car Wrap. After I got it I went on line to see where in my area this could be done as I knew several companies that did this kind of work. After I read up on it here and found out it was a scam, I got back to the guy, Daniel Valderram, and told him yes I'd like that. I gave him the info he asked for. Nothing that isn't on line already. Yesterday I got my check so now I'm playing with him. They sent $2450.00 to me with the same deal, keep $400.00 for one week in advance and send the rest to the company that will schedule the wrapping. As others have noted, very poor grammar and spelling in all the emails. I sent him an email saying the bank says not to take the money out until they are sure that the check is real. Then I told him I was so excited to get my car wrapped that I was going to do it anyway. I asked if Western Union would accept a personnel check for the transaction or if I needed to give them cash? He wrote back and now he wants me to go to Walmart, someplace I never go, to buy some sort of MONEYPAK cards. Then I scratch off the back and let them know the 14 Digit code numbers along with the amount of each card. I guess the cards come in different amounts. He said this would be faster then Western Union and the cost was like $4.95 per card. I think he said each card is only available in $500.00 amounts so I'd need to buy as many as I needed to hit the $2,000.00 I'd need to send to them. The person that I'm send it to is in Pittsburgh PA. I have an address for them and everything. I did a check on the address and I found a beautiful house for sale at that location. I think my next move will be to say I went to my bank and after thinking about it I thought I'd save some money and I sent a money order which was free to the address for Lonnie Vearnon in PA. I bet this will blow his mind!
Reading through these comments it nakes me sad to see that people are that desperate and clueless to the fact that nothing in life is free. Why on earth would someone send you a M.O. and you not question why they would send fit to much and then ask you to send the extra back a different eay when they could of just sent it you through wire transfer in the first place. Is this the future of our country?
This economy sucks for good paying jobs at the moment. So for a chance to make some extra money to make ends meet is what some of us are trying to do. Besides its not a something for nothing thing. They are offering to rent space on our vehicles. I have to question of how much of an "intelligent citizen" you are to kick a person that is down and just looking for away to get back on their feet.
They sent me cashier's check FEDEX on Academy Bank for $2,830.00 which I was to keep $300 and send the rest to the person to put the graphics on my car. There was nothing else in the envelope. No company name for the graphics company. I left several voice mails and emails for Mr. Michael Underwood the person who reached out to me on email with no return calls but a couple returned emails. I ended up calling Monster Energy Drinks directly and asked if they had a Michael Underwood that worked for them and they said no. Then I told them about the scam and they said it's a scam and DO NOT CASH THE CHECK. So I was glad that I went with my gut and didn't rush to cash the check. I was going to use the $300 payment to make my past due car psyment so I am glad that I didn't do that.
Why do peple have to be so dishonest. GEEZ LOUISE!!

The specialist shall contact you as soon as the funds are received so as to schedule a perfect date and time to come for the placement which would last for 1 to 2 hours. It is the graphic company's policy that all funds should be in the name of the individual whose vehicle is to be wrapped so they can instruct the specialist based on the sender's information to avoid any misunderstandings except if a contract had already been reached. A case of Monster Energy Drink will be delivered to the address you provided once every week through out the period you will be carrying the wrap. The drinks are free and you can also share it with your friends if you like.
Acknowledge receipt of this email immediately.
Kind Regards,

Felt it was a scam, I played along, when they asked if I had a sent the wire transfer - I told them I changed my mind, thanks for the free money (I knew there was none).
My Daughter was recently scammed by these people and her bank in investigating her! Yesterday a recovery agent said they were sent to repo her car and it is linked to the shrink wrap place. she called the police and reported it. Wedon't no what else to do!
Keep an eye out for John Ross sending an email on behalf of monster energy drinks with a car wrap offer. John Ross is actually a super cross bike racer that Monster SPONSORS so it makes no sense that HE would be sending an email with this type of "opportunity"...plus it's linked back to a personal Hotmail account... These scammers just aren't as sharp as they NEVER used to be..smdh...sad.
Dealing with them now , in Arizona .. But now it's for remy Martin 406 624 9518 Fred Wyne is the name it uses.. They have my name my mailing address my age year and make of my vehicle .. Has anyone had their identity stolen because of this?
I received a text from 731 213-4645 message: Cover your vehicle witha monster energy drink logo and get 300 dollars every week.
Now they are trying to get victims on cell phones!!!!
Can someone provide me with the information I need to report this? I just fell for this scam as a graduate student and thought it sounded like a good way to earn a little extra money. Unfortunately, it's ended up costing me a lot. Any advice would be much appreciated!!!
I am still recieving e mails offering to wrap my car for 300 dollars per week. I threaten them each time with this website.
I received a US postal priority package containing two money orders for $950 each to become a secret shopper. My first assignment was to evaluate a western unionand its staff etc... So this is another way Lonnie vearnon is scamming people. I thought I would warn people.
Robert Miller is the name they used with me. Behind the email was an Indian name. I asked why didn't Monster pay their own contractors and never received an answer. Going to report them and send the emails and check to the authorities. Low down, rotten people.. I also contacted Monster.. Glad I didn't cash the check.. Dodged that bullet to the head!! Praise God! Someone needs to do something about this.
I have been trying to contact JetBlue to check for a scam using there logo. I am so glad I found this site so I will not be one more poor soul ...No check received yet but I am about to send a e-mail to them and tell them how down right sorry they are to attact people in this way
Anyone got their identity stolen?
YEP! There's one one Craigslist now for monster energy. They sent me a check for $1600 and keep blowing my phone up asking when will I send the money... I'm not stupid and they only talk by text..
Recieve this email this morning. Reported it to the Monster Drink company and they wrote me back with many links to report it to. This is one of the links they gave me. Told me to save all corespondence that I have with them. I just responded to the email with I would be interested if you were not a freaking scam artist. You have been reported to the Monster Company as well as all authorities possible.
I received the email, responded that I was interested, answered a series of questions mainly about the car, sent these to the real sponsor (Monster Energy Drinks) and asked about it....that's how I found out about this website. :) Monster also provided links to where I can report this.
Car wrap scam! Recently, like many of you, have been contacted regarding this "wonderful easy money" opportunity. I replied like everyone else saying I am interested and gave them contact information for this program for DUB Magazine. Unfortunately, they have my information- name, address, e-mail and phone. Thanks to all of you, I will NOT be cashing the check that I should be receiving in the mail today. I am also going to contact DUB Magazine and notify them that their name is being used in a scam. I will be printing the emails and submitting them to the local FBI office. In addition I will let this person know after I have received the check that I will not be depositing it and I will be turning it over to the FBI. Here is the latest email I have received: 8/18/14
How are you today, Hope your having a great day. The upfront payment check for
the Dub Magazine Car Wrap promotions has been sent to you
and the USPS confirmed that it will deliver to you today.
This is the tracking for confirmation-----(deleted)
The check covers an upfront payment for you, the
payment of the graphics man coming to wrap your vehicle and the
materials suitable to wrap your vehicle.
Get the check deposited at the bank when you receive it, the funds
will be made available in your account once the check clears, it
clears your bank the same day.
Take out and upfront payment of $300 and send the remainder
to the graphics man via western union. The graphics man isn't in
office right now, he is currently working on another vehicle at CA.
Once he picks up the funds, arrangement will be made immediately to
work on your car and he will be at your door in a day or two. He will
wrap your vehicle and also bring the contract to sign and every other
necessary paperworks.
This is the info of the graphics man to send the funds.
There is a transfer charge at the store, take out the transfer charges
and send the remainder, send the funds via money in minutes service
and send a pic of the western union receipt when you get it sent.
Looking forward to reading from you.
Thanks for your cooperation.
they just used our company's check to pay someone, who was nice enough to inform us about it. same thing..."Monster Drink" company and the fedex package came from a Shawn Williams, who actually answered my call when we called. the number that he used was 715.303.7775 if anyone wants to call Mr. Williams. We've closed our account with the bank, but didn't fall for this and the banks haven't cashed any of their checks.
If there is anyone interested my husband received a check, but we were smart enough to take it to the bank; however they are back on Craigslist looking for more people to steal from. I hope everyone who gets one of these checks takes it straight to the bank or the police. These people are real scum.
I also recvd a 2200.00 dollar check the person who emailed me didn't hv good grammer and I thought it was too good to be true, I told them to cancel but they sent the check ups also I di not cash I threw it away after tearing it up. they are using HP Computers name so beware I also almost made the mistake but when the guy said to forward the western union I said oh oh this is not correct so im glad I didn't do it YAY!!!
Received a survey request from PineCone requesting I send a check for $1550 via Western Union to a third party. That information would be forthcoming as to where to send the check when I clicked on the link (which I did not). They would send me a check for $200 after surveying Western Union and for paying the fees once I completed the transaction. Notified PineCone Surveys about the scam. Supposedly I would be paid $200 for each survey I conducted. Anyone needing money would comply and be out the $1550 they are requesting.
I saw an ad on Craigslist in my area to drive 7 hours, get paid $13 an hour, plus $39 for gas. Then this evening I get 2 emails from car wraps advertising. I went on Google to check this company out, glad I did, but wish I had checked first before responding to their message with my information!! Smdh

I got the same Monster scam. Only it was 300 a week and from Martin Andrew; Hiring manager.
Terry, I got a similar email but ours was $500 but not once was the email from monster itself nor did the email address.
Cash the check at Walmart and keep the money... Tell them your bank fraud department has check... Walmart does nothing, scammers get nothing and you keep money :-)
Did that really work??? I'm thinking FBI would bust me for doing that!!
My check was signed by Thomas Jefferson. I wonder how much his autograph is worth?
I was just contacted about an ad wrap for DUB Magazine. When I read on the email over the past few days and I was told that I would be needing to send money to the graphics company, all my alert warnings went off. I started doing research and found this site. I've also contacted DUB and am awaiting a reply. I didn't give them my home address and I used my gmail account. I will see how things go, but now I'm just doing a wait and see.
some one sent me a check for 1,920 dollars...I had no idea who it was from..Ive not got any emails about wiring a certain part of it and it says its from a real bank that is 10 mins form me..could this be a scam?
If u really need to question it, then it probably is. I just got one myself but this time I'm hanging on to the 1 I have or at least make a copy of everything
Rosario... I haven´t heard about this kind of scams are happening in Mexico but we better get prepare for it.
I will post on this topic on my blog and ask my collagues to the same.
We better inform people so they can be aware of it. Just in case.
It's a scam I just received it today. Thank god I didn't cash it
My boyfriend found ad on craigslist for verve energy drink. Gave Ramiro Fuller make and model of cars we have and address. We recieved fed ex express check left at our door for 1950.25, from a limo company in va, and a bank in va. When check arrived i was immiediatly alarmed, because it was left between front door and storm door in pouring rain and no signature was required. I called him and told him fed ex pkg arrived, he told me what it was, i opened it and told him " hello....it was printed from a computer, its not scored and its from a limo company in va, not az. .he did research and limo company never heard of fuller and isnt connected with veem.... Called bank and that account is closed. He said he calling police, i told him copy all emails and file complaint with ftc. Glad he didnt deposit if
If you receive an email that changes names when your are about to send off your personal information, STOP! Don't send it because that is one of the biggest hint it's a scam. It appears, from most of you here, that your identity was used for a check scam and this site has valuable information to help you through. I did research car wrap scams and found nothing at first...much to my surprise! I expected to find something that would give me a clue. I have received many legit emails for services and many scams too. This one seemed almost legit so I responded and noted that the email name changed. At that point I decided to proceed even though I knew this was not real. Guess my curiosity was greater than the risk. I asked them to send me a copy of their contract because I do not beleive this is real. Expecting another email name change, they responded that this is real and requested some basic info, but it was the same email address. Now I am approved for this promtion with Diet Pepsi...except the email name is Maryam Gunn or email@example.com and is signed by Gary Shayne, Promotion Manager PepsiCo. Guess I now know the next steps. Thank you everyone!
Me and my wife both got strung along with this. He claimed to be advertising for PK Fine Spirits & Wine. He said we could do a wrap for Red Bull which the store sells.
Got the check today and it was for $1950.But the business it was drawn on was Hunter Truck Sales & Service Inc. Now this is strange since neither one of those are businesses that exist in Utah. Especially not PK Spirit and Wine which would not be able to operate in Utah, due to current liquor sale laws. (Only state run stores can sell anything heavier than beer)
I asked him about it and he got defensive and then "terminated our agreement" for giving him "attitude" then called me a fool for believing he would scam me.
Wish I could find him. I could sue him for libel.
TL:DR, Keep an eye out for advertisement offers for PK Fine Wine & Spirits and Hunter Truck Sales & Service Inc.
Wow!! I am so thankful that something in my heart told me that this deal was too good to be true! I am sorry that this has happened to us but I am thankful that you all had the nerve to post what has happened and helped to save others from this terrible crime! They seem to send it at the most opportune time! My check is actually on its way today...I will take pleasure in shredding it! By the way, this is what my emails read...
Dear Applicant,
we have to collate all the interested parties emails and reach out to them together, that is why the response to you have been
slow, your car has been chosen for the advertisement. It is very easy and simple, no application fees required, this is how it works; the
basic premise of the "paid to drive concept" Monster Energy Drink" seeks people, regular citizens, professional drivers, and all car owners
above eighteen(18) years old,to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with an advertisement for "Monster Energy Drink"
plastered on their cars. The advertisements are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps"that almost seem to be painted on the
vehicle, and which will cover some portion of your car's exterior surface.
What does the company gain from this type of advertisement strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness; the auto wraps tend to be
colorful, eye-catching and attracts lots of attention. Plus, it is a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are
stuck in traffic can not take their eyes off the ad vehicle. This program will last for three(3) months and the minimum period you can
participate is one(1) month. You will be earning between $2000 to $4000 monthly depending on how often you use your car,which is
essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company use your car. Monster Energy Drink shall provide detailers that will handle the advert
placement on your car, these detailers have been tested and confirmed perfect for the job in order not to leave any damage on your car
after the end of the program.
There will be no fee for gas since you are not driving to anywhere else apart from your daily routine.Please provide the following
information so that we can confirm you for this posting and send you further information;

My response today...
Good Morning:
I have a few questions regarding this arrangement.
I am not quite sure if this is a legitimate request. I've tried to look up information on a Jolvontea Snipes and there is nothing to be found on Google maps for that particular address. Please understand that in this day and time that I would need to be extremely cautious of schemes, especially during this time of year. I did submit your email to the Better Business Bureau to assure me that it is okay to proceed. I also sent it to Monster Energy to make sure that this is something that they are connected to. If this proves to be legit, I will proceed as you requested, if not, I will kindly discard your check. Quite frankly, I am not even sure how you received my email address. Please provide me with a phone number so that I might be able to address some concerns with you and to assure me that this is a legitimate partnership.
Thank you.
i got a check in the mail for 2200.00$ they told me deposit the check and let them know when i have available funds an they will send a specialist to wrap my car. i went to the wells fargo to open an account an deposit the check in it. the bank didnt even check it out at the bank it was drawn on they just looked at it, heard me say monster energy drink advertisment and said they suspected it was fake. they confinscated the check to turn into the fraud department. i asked for something in writing saying that they took the check for further examination, or some kind of reciept. they refused(wells fargo just broke a federal banking law). i told them i'd call the sherriff and have them make wells fargo give me a reciept. on my way out the door i heard say good luck getting the sherriff here before we close.....i contacted the company that sent me the check. they were pissed said i could sue the bank. an this is a legitamete bussiness. i even told them i brought the police to the bank to get some kind of reciept. they are still keeping in contact with me trying to get this straightend out. i think mine is real, i have seen normal everyday people driving around with their car wrapped in monster drink decals.
I received one of theses scams a couple days ago to advertise for JetBlue.I'll have to see if a check(fake of course)shows up.
JetBlue confirmed this is a scam.They are aware of these scams and indicated they are "working to stop them"
Just got one from my school email from MillerCoors! I'm gonna go fishing til I get the check then hand it over to the local police Department.
I also learned of this through a job advertisement wrap your car in monster energy drink and get paid 520.00 a wk then give rest to designer whos suppose to come to house and put it on i was sent an over 2000 dollar check.i.was told to put money in bank and draw it out after one day.after telling man i thought it was a scam he insisted it wasnt deposit money and withdraw next day.then ask if i recieved it yet.oh it came via fed ex.i said yes he said let him know how things go with check when i get money he will send man to home to put wrap on car.well thinking this is a scam i had bank hold check.they said one week would be good enough and if funds come through theyd call me but doubted they would.i told them ive kept emails and text they sent and all papers i got with check envelope so on and will be giving to local police if its a scam .along with reporting to other agencies but like some other people on here ive been making them jump through hoops for them to prove its not a scam.unbelievable what people will do to cheat people out of there.just sad.
They are also using exxon Mobil. I received an email from larry.dalton005, they wanted me to send $2200 half via western union and half via moneygram
I read all your posts and I got the same thing from Full Throttle Energy Drink. They sent almost 2 grand then wanted me to keep 300 and send the rest to China! I had signed up online for local car wrapping\advertising and thought I was actually getting a reply. No luck here. Deposited the check but didn't send anything.
Just got one for red rain car wrap. 300. A week for 12 weeks. Harvey has a man email address. Thanks for providing information to protect us!
I got the email for the Monster Energy Scam and agreed to the plan through an email address. After researching the "Car Wrap" job on the internet I found numerous sites complaining that this was a scam. Since I've received a check in the mail (via priority mail) I've contacted the fdic, fbi, and post office. Because there are so many people affected by this scam the agency that is most interested in this scam is the U.S. Post Office because the scammers are bypassing the Post Office fees. This constitutes "Mail Fraud" and is probably going to be the best way to end this scam.
Same thing happened to me recently. I have the emails and check. I emailed monster energy directly to confirm it was a scam and they gave me all these websites to go and report it.
Lol they just tried to get me here's some numbers they called from 949-229-596 and 909-589-1208 they also tried to pull the Monster car wrap on me. The guy has a deep accent I could barely understand, I guess his name was David Light.
I was on Craigslist and found an ad for extra money for wrapping your car with a Jetblue advertisement. They wanted my information and text me a lot and sent me a check with no information. Just a mannila envelope with a check in it. That seemed suspect. They are texting me and almost ordering me to deposit the check and get back with them. I told them yesterday was Thanksgiving and that I couldn't deposit it that day. They started getting pissy with me. I thought that was strange. No banks are open on Thanksgiving. I am glad I found out about this before I even went to the bank. Thanks to all of you and your information about this. I am so depressed that I can't find anyway to make some extra cash beside my regular job. The number they contacted me at was
+1 978-719-4597. They said they were Sarah Krager from Advertising Dept. at Jetblue Airlines.
Yeup just tried to get me. I knew this jetblue airline ad thing was a joke.
Just received this email about a 5 hour energy car wrap scam
Tried to copy and paste but wouldn't work.
I was emailed about a JetBlue car wrap advertising that promised to pay me $400 per week. I received a check from Boulder Colorado Water Company. I googled the water company because I had no idea why I received the check. On their website there was a notification that someone was issuing fraudulent checks from their company. I put two and two together and googled the JetBlue advertising, and found out about the scam. The FBI said to report the scam to: www.ic3.gov.
Has anyone heard of an iPhone car wrap advertising? One came in our email today, December 9, 2014. Thank you to anyone who has heard something.
just signed up for a 5 hour energy wrap and sent him my address and name, no actual other #'s tho. ugh then i read all this . stinks people are so shady. :( wonder if they'll cash the check at walmart haha
Just had this happen to me. When I told the guy I was taking it to the sheriff office he texted me back and said you will see hell. I am scared now so I an definitely going to contact police tomorrow.

How did the basement room organizing go? Ours is totally empty! I just need to put a cement sealer on the floor and it will be ready for storing all our fun stuff!
You put me to shame Angie. lol
Haven't done mine yet.
Congratulations getting yours done! What did you do with all the stuff in there? That's what is keeping me procrastinating, all those decisions.

Yesterday was church in the morning, over to grandpa's to spend time with him in the afternoon, ran home to change and have a small snack, then back to church for Christmas play practice. Julia got a part! She is "kid #2" and has a small line. She gets to say, "Mighty God!." I worked the sound board again and managed not to break anything. So that is good. Haha.

Yay for turkey on sale! I need to pick up a turkey for next weekend. My family is getting together on Sunday for a potluck-style pre-Thanksgiving dinner, then Hubby and I will roast our turkey on Monday, the actual holiday. (Yay for two dinners for me, hee hee!)
