  • i can't see that buying a brand new car and letting someone drive around with a sticker on it would make the company much money
    Come on, it's not rocket surgery is it?

    I heard about getting paid to let companies use your car to advertise but i dont think it really took off
    in a big way.

    But paying a company for something thats going to be free smells of SCAM before you even think about it.


    Anyone want a free lifetime supply of chocolate? Send me £250 and i will get your name added to the list of
    people daft enough to give money away for nothing.
    If your lucky i might send you a bar of chocolate on your birthday which will be inedible and should last you
    a lifetime.

    PS. chocolate is poisonous, Eating it will prove the chocolate will have indeed lasted you a lifetime. You will
    be dead of course.

    But bargain or what send £250 NOW..... Mrs Smith Nigel, somewhere near nigeria, PS god is watching us so you
    can trust me.. etc etc...

    We've had threads on this type of scam before. I think it's one of those revolving American scams - pay £x to join and get told to set up a website advertising other people to join a site. Certainly there are limited schemes in the States, but in the UK, I don't see any business paying £10k+ for advertising on a private car covering 12k per annum when they can pay a fraction of that for a black cab in use 24/7 covering 80k per annum.

    The whois show:

    Registrant's address:
    The registrant is a non-trading individual who has opted to have their
    address omitted from the WHOIS service

    No landline telephone number. no contact address = scam scam scam
    The man without a signature.

    I can't imagine many companies would give you a free car to advertise their products.
    These 'Black Cabs' that you see now driving around with company names on only receive a few hundred pounds a year plus a respray at the end of the contract.

    Not needed. They are wrapped in a vinyl covering and it just peels off.

    Is the OP just spamming?
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
