Default Trolling Scammers is Fun

Ok so the other day I saw a fake red bull advertisement scam to where you can get paid $500 a week to have your car/truck completely wrapped with red bull graphics. At first thought I was like ill do this to my truck, but after thinking about it I decided it was waaaayyyy to good to be true.Btw they referred to the company as "Red Bull Drink" which the actual name is just Red Bull. Anyways I googled it to see if it's a scam and yup, there it was. Somebody said they will send you a big cheque and ask that you wire money to their "graphic design people". The check will bounce and you will have just wired your own money. People actually fall for this?? So I emailed them when they got back with me I gave them my fake name (Pablo Sanchez) and my address as the Arlington PD station's address lol. I said I have a big 1999 dodge ram van with monster truck tires lol! They emailed me back saying "good news! A cheque of $3500 is on the way to your door step!" And yes they added the wiring to graphic design and stuff. My reply was "OK YAAAAYYYY :-D" haha. So yea, a bogus check of $3500 is randomly on the way to the Arlington police station. Oh trolling is so fun. Thanks for the entertainment Red Bull Drink!

Trolling these clowns by using the police department's address is likely to get you in hot water with the police should you contact the department and explain what you did.

The bottom line: Dumb move. Find another form of entertainment.

It's not gunna get me in trouble. What would they do with a random check anyways? That's not how you donate money, they'll likely just shred it thinking it came to the wrong place. I honestly thought they would come to "my address" with the check in hand with the vehicle wrap lol and then they would see the police station and realize they got played.
