"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Dear Applicant,

Wrap your car with Budweiser Select® Beer Advertisement Wrap and Get
Paid... It is Very Easy and Simple with No Application fees required

Here's how It works - The basic premise of the "paid to drive"
concept Budweiser Select® Advertising seeks people -- regular
citizens, not professional drivers -- to go about their normal
routine as thebbudweiserselect@gmail.comy usually do, only with a big advert of "Budweiser
Select® Beer " plastered on your car/truck.The adverts are typically
vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps," that almost seem to be
painted on the vehicle, and which will

cover any portion of your car's exterior surface.

What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of
exposure and awareness.The auto wraps tend to be colorful and
eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of
advertising with a captive audience,meaning people who are stuck in
traffic and can't avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside them.This
program will last for 3 months and the minimum period you can
participate is 1 month.

You will be compensated with $300 (Three hundred dollars per
Week),which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company
use the space and we shall provide Experts that would handle the
advert placing on your car.

Interested person should please feel Free to fill out the information
below and send it back to us today and we will get back to you with
details.
