Man, this just SCREAMS "Holy fucking shit, it's a scam!!!"
Edited on Mon Sep-17-07 01:25 PM by seawolf
Saw an ad for these cumguzzlers in my college's official student newspaper.
***

www.adcarclub.com

How can I get a free car or get paid driving my car?

Companies will pay you $800-$3200 a month to drive around in their cars and they also pay you to drive around with their advertising on your car. It´s a simple marketing and advertising concept. Its that simple. No lease, no car payments!

2. Are there any extra fees?

No. Membership is a one-time $39.95 fee.

3. If I already own or lease a car, can I still get a free car?

Yes, but remember your free car must be a car you drive every day, and you must be the principle driver of your free car. Many of the companies are available to assist you in the disposal of your owned or leased car or you can apply to use the vehicle you own and they will pay you.

4. How long will it take to get my free car?

You will receive your car within 7-14 business days. The company will deliver the car to the address you specify on the application.

5. How much does the ad companies pay monthly?

The ad companies pay bewteen $800-$3200 monthly by check. Checks are mailed out twice a month.

6. Can I use my own car for the program?

Yes. If you currently own or lease a vehicle that you would like to use for the program, please fill out the application forms relating to this type of offer. Even if you use your own car, you still qualify to participate in both programs (getting a free car and getting paid to drive your car).

7. How long can I keep my free car?

All driving terms last between 1 - 5 years. You choose your own driving term.

8. Can I keep my auto insurance and who pays for gas?

Yes. If you use your own vehicle or the company vehicle. All companies will pay your insurance and gas.

***

God DAMN, if that's not a scam, I'll eat one of the snotrags I've been piling up today! Advertise in a campus newspaper, make $40 apiece from each student dumb enough to buy in, and you'll have a lot of money in very little time. Filthy fucking scumbags -- yeah, some companies may be willing to advertise on folks' cars, but I guaran-goddamn-tee you they aren't doing it through some low-grade fucking web site. These fuckers need to be hauled out and shot.

Edit: Please pay more attention to my words.

1. I've seen this idea around before. I'm actually pretty sure that it's legit,not sure about this
particular company doing it though.

2. Like I said:
"Some companies may be willing to advertise on folks' cars, but I guarantee you they aren't doing it through some low-grade web site."

Yeah, the idea's legit, but this doesn't seem to be.

6. true enough, but this guy seems like he's being the middle-man
and simply connecting a few drivers with the advertisers. people with crap cars aren't going to get anything but a 40 dollar dent in their wallets

7. That's what I was thinking when I read it, it sounds like someone's taking 40 dollars for the
trouble of pointing out where you can sign up for the actual program.

4. I saw this a few years ago, but you didn't get a free car.
You were paid so much a month for having the advertising on your own car.

3. I think it's legit
hate to tell you.

But advertising on cars is an old tradition. What is new is getting the public in on the act. I think you usually have to agree to drive so many miles/month, to make sure they get a predetermined amount of eyeballs.

8. Not bad for a part time job

Is it based on miles?

10. No, demographics
He just has the right car (Yukon) in the right neighborhood for this sort of thing. I don't know all the details but he plasters his truck/car/whateveryoucallaYukon for about half the year.

9. semi-scam, just like...
those home-based business sites that give you weekly lists of jobs for a fee.

Yes, you can get paid to have advertising painted on your car, but no, this guy doesn't guarantee you'll get the gig, nor is he even offering one.

He's charging you 50 bucks for the work in finding these outfits that may or may not want their logo on your jalopy.
