Car wrap scams can also work by tricking individuals into accepting a check for an overpayment and then asking the individual to wire back the excess funds. Here's how it works:
The scammer contacts the individual and offers to pay for the car wrap, often with an overpayment, usually explaining that it is for additional services or for the individual's trouble.
The individual receives the check and deposits it into their account. However, the check is counterfeit and will not clear.
The scammer then contacts the individual and asks them to send back the excess funds from the overpayment, often giving a deadline.
The individual sends the money back, but the check bounces, and the individual is out the money they sent back to the scammer.
The scammer will disappear and won't be traceable.
