Aware about car Wrap scams or Vehicle Wraps

Houston Custom Wraps is posting this article so that customers can be aware of a positional vehicle wrap scam that is affecting consumers.  As unemployment rates rise, criminals are using car wraps or vehicle wraps to purport their scams.  Because people are looking for work to help make ends meet, they are more willing to try alternate ways of earning money.
The vehicle wrap scammers are using the internet to send out mass marketing emails or get contacts from employment websites.  The vehicle wrap scammers claim they will pay to have the owner’s car wrapped with advertisements from certain major companies.  The vehicles, cars, vans, or trucks to be wrapped will have top brand vinyl decals or fully wrapped with vinyl graphics.
When the victim reads and accepts the vehicle wrap, car wrap, van wrap, or truck wrap offer, a check for a large amount is sent.  The instructions are to cash the vehicle wrap check and keep a certain portion for payment for sponsoring the car wrap, van wrap, or truck wrap.  The remaining balance is to be wired to a vehicle wrap or vehicle graphics company who is supposedly to perform the car wrap, van wrap, or truck wrap.  This company will only perform the vehicle graphics wrap upon receipt of the money.
A car wrap, van wrap, or truck wrap can cost thousands of dollars.  The victim realizes only too late that the vehicle wrap check for the vehicle graphics was a fake.  The vehicle wrap check bounces and the victim is then liable for the amount with the majority of the money lost to pay the fake vehicle wrap or vehicle graphics company.
While it is possible to earn money with vehicle advertising with car wraps, van wraps, and truck wraps, those days are long gone.  Vehicle wrap, car wrap van wrap, truck wrap or vehicle graphics companies are no longer looking for drivers to or consumers to wrap their vehicles for sponsorship or vehicle marketing for major brands.
It is Houston Custom Wraps wish to alert consumers ahead of time so that they do not fall prey to this vehicle wrap scam.
