SMS spam/scam: Cadbury chocolate car wrap/decal

Received an SMS yesterday that is likely a scam.

This time, instead of a phone number, the supposed sending party was an email address.

Not sure if the address was spoofed or hacked though. I have not included it but can provide if needed.

Sounds like the “car wrap” scam. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2016/08/how-spot-car-wrap-scam

I received the same SMS about ten days ago. It sounded too perfect for my situation. So I filled it out and sent it back.

I received a response which detailed a check amount and how I was procede. I am waiting for another response from them.

This is another car wrap scam. Found the info on the Federal government web page. Also FYI so is the car wrap from Aquafina water

Ive had the same notification and it’s asking for personal info, such as my address and city

Please share the number and the evidence of the fraudulent activity

Ive had a Cadbury Chocolate campaign send me a check and ive also had “autozone” reach out to me and try to get me to wrap my car as well

I got the scam text today for Cadbury

First of all, welcome.

Do you have a screenshot of the message, or could you maybe tell us its contents?
The number of the sender would also be good, if possible. :slight_smile:
