Below is a copy of the e-mail interaction between myself and this fraud.  I only provided my name and phone number as I was already weary of the e-mails.  Of course this person never bothered to call and e-mailed me back instead.  I didn't provide any information, but thought this should be known.  I went to the real NOS Energy Drink website (http://www.drinknos.com/), clicked on the Need To Reach Us Link on the right side, and was sent to this page (http://www.coca-colacompany.com/contact-us/#TCCC) to chat with a virtual agent. 
Below is the conversation.
 
Coca-Cola: Hi, I'm your virtual agent. What can I do for you?
 
You: Hi, I received an e-mail from someone stating that they are an employee of NOS Energy Drink and want to verify that they are indeed an employee.
 
 
You: I received an offer to wrap my car in advertisements for money. What is this?
 
Coca-Cola: The Coca-Cola Company does not support individual car wraps, and we are in no way associated with these emails or programs. We are not a sponsor, and our name and trademarks are being used without permission. If you have already responded to this contact, we recommend that you discontinue communication to protect your personal information and privacy.
 
I also spoke with a NOS Energy Drink customer service agent at 866-790-5582, who verified that this person and e-mail was a fraud.  Unfortunately, NOS Energy Drink/Coca-Cola didn't do anything else.  They didn't even want the e-mails.

Hello,
 
Wrap advertising is the marketing practice of completely or partially covering (wrapping) a vehicle in an advertisement or livery, thus turning it into a mobile billboard. This can be achieved by simply painting the vehicle surface, but it is becoming more common today to use large vinyl sheets as decals. These can be removed with relative ease, making it much less expensive to change from one advertisement to another. Vehicles with large, flat surfaces, such as buses and light-rail carriages, are fairly easy to work with, although smaller cars with curved surfaces can also be wrapped in this manner. Wrap advertising is available to anybody irrespective of the vehicle you drive.
We are currently seeking to employ individuals living in USA and CANADA. Who will like to make money by simply driving your car or banner wrapped for NOS  Energy Drink®.
 
How it works?
Here's the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: NOS  Energy Drink® seeks people regular citizens, professional drivers to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with a big advert for "NOS Energy Drink®" plastered on your car. The ads are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps,"that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will cover any portion of your car's exterior surface.
 
Don't Have a Car?
If you don't have a car, you can also participate if you have a bike.
 
What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy?
Lots of exposure and awareness. The auto wraps tend to be colorful  eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a captive audience,meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside them. This program will last for 3 months and the minimum you can participate is a months.
 
What is the Contract Duration?
Once the wrap as been installed, minimum term is 2 weeks and maximum is 12 weeks.
One car per Household.
 
Would the wrap/decal damage the paint of my car?
The decal doesn't damage the paint of car and will be removed by our representative once the contract expire. We will be responsible for installation and removal of the wrap.
 
Does it cover the whole car?
No, the decal it only install in the car trunk and doors.
You will be compensated with $300.00 per week which is essentially a "rental"payment for letting our company use the space no fee is required from you. NOS Energy Drink® shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on your car. You will receive an upfront payment of $300.00 inform of check via courier service for accepting to carry this advert on your car.
 
It is very easy and simple no application fees required. Get back with the following details if you are interested in this offer.
