The "Company" then proceeds to send you a check either using UPS, FED EX OR USPS with a check in your name and nothing else. The check looks very real they go out of their way to convince you it's a real check with all the security features and whatnot. The thing you have to look for is if the check was actually issued by Budweiser and in this case it was not.

The check was issued from PNC bank which is a real bank but the issuer of the check says Berlitz, Inc and the only time I have heard of Berlitz is through my University which is a language test. After going online and looking for a Berlitz, Inc we could not find anything about this "company"

Here is how they get you. After you receive the check in the mail, you receive instructions to go deposit the check. The next day the person tells you the check cleared and that you can go take the money out. The problem is that when you deposit a check your bank may show the funds are available when in fact the check has not made it to the processing department. You take the cash out and the person tells you to keep $350 and withdraw the rest.

Once you withdraw the remaining amount which in this case was supposed to be $1,688 dollars you are asked to send the money to the "Decal Agent" for the materials and labor. Once you send the money you are pretty much screwed.

Here is what happens. When the check is deposit, the bank shows the funds available because the check hasn't made it to the processing department so it does look like the check is legitimate. After you take the money and send it you go on with your life until the next time you log on to your account and notice all your money is gone and the account is negative because by now the processing department wants to verify the check with the other bank.

After waiting for so many days, the bank where the check was issued sends the check back to your bank and you are out however much you took out to do this transaction.

The moral of the story is that you need to be sure of things before you go out and do them. If it looks too good to be true, chances are it is a scam of some sort. The scam has been seen using Monster, Red Bull, Heinz, and other favorite American brands and European as well.

Do your Research! Don't get robbed by these charlatans and scumbags.

Best,
