This is the initial email they sent me after I contacted them: -------Original Message------- From: James smith Date: 4/19/2015 1:40:37 PM To: (((redacted))) Subject: Re: Car Wrapping It is very easy to participate No Application fees required. How it works Here's the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: DUB SHOW TOUR MAGAZINE seeks people - regular citizens, not only professional drivers to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for " DUB SHOW TOUR MAGAZINE " 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. What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness. The auto wraps tend to be colorful and eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped car beside them. This program will last for 3 months and the minimum period you can participate is 1 month You will be compensated with a $400 (Four hundred dollars per Week), which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company use the space. DUB SHOW TOUR MAGAZINE shall provide experts that would handle the advert placement on your car. You will receive your 1st week payment of $400 (Four hundred dollars) in form of check for accepting to carry this advert on your car and other weekly payments will also be delivered at your address weekly. The following information below will be needed Full Name: Age: Occupation: Make of car/ year: Address: city: State: Zip code: Mobile number : Email Address: We shall be contacting you as soon as we receive these information. Note: Our company wraps will only be on your side doors and will not damage your car paint when it is removed at the end of your contract. DUB SHOW TOUR MAGAZINE looks forward to working with you

I had a person going by the FB user name of Kristen Tanya, that had commented on a post I had up on a group page for handcrafted items, where I was selling my jewelry, that had invited me to contact them at their email of dubmagazinecarwrap@gmail.com, telling me they would pay me $400/week to be an advert for their company. They wanted to have someone come out (they called this person their 'graphics man'), to apply a vinyl wrap on my car. They asked for a lot of my personal information, and wouldn't hardly answer the questions I had. I finally googled Dub Magazine to see if this was a real company, and found that it actually was/is. However, I emailed the info I had to Dub Magazine (through their actual site), and gave them the email that was used to contact me, and they immediately wrote back telling me this was a scam.
