Blank shirt scams

[jesterapparel]

I get a few a week now.  Thinking of taking the credit card number and shipping address and then calling the credit card company to let them know its stolen.  Good Idea?  Anyone done this?

I know it's time out of my day but figured it help them out.

I am unfamiliar with this scam. They send you a CC# to buy blank shirts, and then what? Or is this the one where they send a load of blank shirts, I am still vague on how that one works.

I had one several years ago that they forged a check. I don't know why but for some reason I felt like something was wrong so I googled the address and persons name and they did not match up. I call the police. They sent me to the fbi who in turn sent me to homeland security. I was right but it was a pain in the back side. I swear for 3 years I felt like my phone line was tapped...
I always quote them stupid high and tell the CASH IN ADVANCE ONLY!!!! No Exceptions.

Does it look like these the ones below.  Got these today. I get them all the time. They used to be for thousands of white shirts. Not they are doing smaller orders and the top one is ever for colors. I guess the economy is even hurting them.

I would sell to the first one.  He has a better command of English.






KIDDING!!

The scam for the uninfomed is have you ship blank shirts on the bogus credit card.  By the time the credit charge bounces back on you, you're out the money paid for the shirts and the buyer can resell them for pennies on your dollar.

I get the ones addressed to "dear seller" and they say "I want to buy goods from your website, I will pay with a credit card." I wish they would crack down on these jerks.

Who?  The language police?

This is a modified Nigerian Scam. It works mainly by them getting you to use a Credit Card for the purchase but then they tell you that the shipping agent will not take a card so could you please do a TT to the Shipping agents account and charge the same card. You then ship the good and they come back as the address does not exist and the Credit Card bounces but they now have your TT so you have been done.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH Thanks Stuart! Awesome name btw.

This explains the emails that my wife gets every time we try to put up our hobart mixer on craigslist! Though the english is usually pretty fluent and they have some story about saving the world somewhere with some organization so they are away and need to have a third party shipper. We never let them get any further because it just sounded wrong, why would someone curing cancer with the world health organization need a 20qt mixer anyhow? Nice to know what they are trying to do.

One more question though, what is TT?

Rodney Pinder has been trying to buy shirts from my for years

I usually tell them to go purchase from Walmart, it would be cheaper for them in the long run.  Stupid freak heads.

I see, I assumed they were stolen credit cards.  But there not even legit numbers.
