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.
Original email below:
