Part of the initiation process a screen printer must go through, right? My first email scam. The initial contact was with a text asking for my email address and if I am set up to accept credit cards AND that they are hearing impaired so we can't talk on the phone, only email...even though I was instantly leery, I responded with my email and also that I am not set up to accept credit cards but I can accept paypal. Then I receive this first of two emails (attached to the first email is the pic of what they wanted, which I have attached for your viewing pleasure):

Subject: Screen Printing Needed!!!
I have a seminar coming up in the city here on the 5th of Jan by 1pm. I have some T-shirt I need you to do Screen printing on, all together are 40 dozen of T-shirts, the shirts are white in color and I'll like you to put at the front of the T-shirts(GLORY OF GOD) you move down lower and put (Corinthians 10:31) in black color. I need a perfect job on the T-shirts. T-shirts are 480Pcs, Sizes are XL=78cm. I've made an arrangement with a private carrier that will be having the T-shirts delivered to your shop for you to work on. So kindly get back to me with the request information below. And also check the attachment you will see the artwork and I want it to be a bold letter in any height or width but make the GLORY OF GOD bold letter and make the Corinthians 10:31 small under it as in the artwork. Check the attachment for artwork.

Regards, convinced it's a scam at this point, I respond...then receive the second email
Sound good I'm glad to read back from you, I'm an hearing-impaired and that is why I'm contacting you via email for now. I'm ready to do business with you I'm sure i can get the T-shirts deliver to you on 5th of Jan, by 10:00 am and the font I'll want on the T-shirt will be (GLORY OF GOD) and SIZE:120, hope everything is okay and that's good time to have the T-shirts deliver to your shop and can i have the total cost and I'm ready to make the full payment of the service to you with my credit card and i also promise you a tip of $150.00 if you can do a perfect job for me on the T-shirts and the name of our seminar is GLORY OF GOD.it's just like a sermon for my church member we had a fellowship that many neighbors attend It's not meant to for sale so no any IRS document needed. Also i want you to know that no problem about paying for the tax fee.
I respond basically saying I told you I can not accept paypal...you will be better off having someone else print for you.
So there you have it...my first scam...I'm surprised it took this long..I was beginning to feel left out..I read all the time on here how people get these scam email print jobs.
