Got an unusual offer today in my email
« on: June 19, 2017, 05:14:51 pm »
So, I looked at my work email a little while ago and I see this from lavasett02@gmail.com:

      Hello will you allow Budweiser  to put a small sticker on your CAR,TRUCK, OR MOTORCYCLE. For Budweiser    new product advert and receive $500 every week the program will last three months if interested  click on this link for full details of the job <link removed> .

© 2017 Anheuser-Busch Inc.
,<link removed>


Sure looks like a scam to me. Anyways, even though I could use $6000, I think I'll pass. Not interested in advertising Bud even if it was real.

Anyone else want to click on the link?

Nope, for all the same reasons as you already stated

Bad grammar, commercial email from a personal email address (hacked or virus?) and a "too good to be true" aspect of 6000$ for a "small sticker"...

Yup.. that's a no.

If you preview the link (add a + to the end of the bitly url) it goes to a marketing lead gen form.  Agree that the offer sounds too good to be true but the devil's in the details.
