Description
Answered an ad for a job for auto wrap campaign Frito-Lay. Person emailing me name John Hicks stated I won the contest and it pays 700 a month to wrap my car for six months. He then mailed me a check for 2,850.00 and asked that I cash it and use the difference to pay the company to wrap my car. I became very suspicious when the check had another company written on it, when I called the bank on the check, they say they cannot give me any information because I do not have an account with them.
