I recently received this same email from Neil Stevenson. I hope there is somebody trying to stop these guys.

Hello,

Here's the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: Monster Energy
Drink® seeks people -- regular citizens, licensed drivers to go about their
normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for "Monster
Energy Drink®" plastered on your car. The ads 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.

This program will last for 3 months and the minimum you can participate is
a month.
You will be compensated with $300 per week which is essentially a
"rental"payment for letting our company use the space and no fee is
required from you. Monster Energy Drink® will provide experts that would
handle the advert placing on your car. Also, you will receive an up front
payment of $300 in form of check via courier service for accepting to carry
this advert on your car.
It is very easy and simple no application fees required. If interested,
please reply with the following details below.

Applicant information:
Name :
Full Street Address(not PO BOX) :
APT #:
City,State,Zip Code:
Cell Phone Number:

We shall be contacting you as soon as we receive this information.

Best Regards,
Neil Stevenson,
Monster Energy Drink®

Hello. I just got a check for $2,360...what would happen if I just deposited the whole thing and left it alone? Would they just take it back out if the check came back bad?

[Wayne]

You're asking us what would happen if you knowingly put a fake or stolen check in your account? Seriously? Well, we know of people who have gone to jail for trying it. Does that answer your question?
