E-mail offer of $200 for driving your car with a BBB sticker is fake
Don't be fooled by an e-mail promising you can earn $200 a week by simply driving your car while displaying a Better Business Bureau decal on it.
The subject line in the e-mail reads "Now Hiring!!!" and appears to have been sent from the address Better.Business.Bureau@gala.net, not an e-mail address affiliated with the real BBB, the organization warns.
The e-mail reads: "MAKE MONEY BY SIMPLY DRIVING YOUR CAR. ADVERTISER WANTED FOR Better Business Bureau. EARN NO LESS THAN $200 WEEKLY TO ADVERTISE ON YOUR CAR."
The e-mail also says the BBB will not only pay participants a $200-a-week "rental" payment to occupy the space on the car, but that it will also send them an upfront $400 money order. The e-mail explains the program will last three months and that one month is the minimum someone can participate.
