I received an email that asked for my personal information. I wish to obtain the information but knowing the identify threft is rampant I don't want to knowingly put myself in danger. I could use the money to be honest, but am very very cautious.
[Here's the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: XXXX Energy
Drink® seeks people -- regular citizens, licensed drivers to go about their
normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for "XXXX Energy
Drink®" plastered on your car. The ads are typically vinyl decals,
also known as "auto wraps,"that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle,
and which will cover any portion of your car's exterior surface.
This program will last for 3 months and the minimum you can participate is
a month.]
They will contact me when they receive my information. Is this legal? Should I risk it and hope it is not identift theft?!!??
Verified answer
There use to be some "paid to drive" but you would drive their advertisement car. They would ask about your daily route and it you drive enough then you consider you as a candidate.
But in your situation, e-mail? and they pick you because of what?? Usually they would target a particular area, but your e-mail does not get them take target. Random selection would trigger a warning sign for me.
You can contact the energy drink company and see if they are backing it up.

So they embarrass you for 3 months, ruin the paint on your car and pay yu how much for all of this?
It ain't worth it.
They don't say it in the ad but they give you monthly mileage requirements that you must meet. In other words they give you a quota that says you must drive XXX number of miles every month in order to expose this advertising to the public and to get paid. You can't park your car in the garage for a month and expect to get paid for that. You have to get out and drive the car around all month to maximize the advertising exposure.
Do they pay you for the gas? Probably not.
Do they pay to repaint the car when they finally take that crap off? No
Wil lthey do this to just any car? Nope. Your car has to be new and it has to be a nice looking car. The more unique the better. So if you've got like a brand new Mini or a Veloster they love you. If you're driving your moms old 1996 Buick they aren't going to hire you.
I wouldn't bother. Its probably some kind of scam attempt.
Ive seen a few wrapped cars. A papa Johns car driven by an area manager and a Whataburger thing driven by a franchise owner.
Giving away cars to drive free would have thousands of takers, they wouldn't need to search for takers via blind email.
Banana Man- Tally Hall(:
i think it is but the only problem is the pay they talk about! other than that there's nothing legally wrong.
