Answered a RedBull car wrap email offering $300 a week to wrap my car in Red Bull ads.

They sent me a check for $2480, told me to keep $300 as an upfront payment, and wire the rest to Monica Farrell in Washington State.

I knew it was a scam, so I just stared emailing the guy back and forth, kind of messing with him.

  • I got the same message from them, but it was for Monster energy drink. The name he has listed on my email is Michael Billings, with the same phone number.
