SPAM - I get all the time
« on: November 20, 2011, 10:33:06 PM »
I get this email about every other week for like the last 2 years. I just want to post it here so people know about it. It used to be for 2000 white shirts. I guess they found that was too much money to scam for. My local supplier said one of the local screen printers fell for it about 3 years ago and sent thousands of shirts to some other country and never got a penny.

Here is the email:


I will to make a special order of T-shirts:  Below is what am looking on the T-shirts:

Tee Shirts blank
Brand:   Gildan
Size       : Adult Small
Color  :  White
               : 50/50 % Cotton
Qtys  :  600

Let me know the total cost without shipping..
Thank you

Rodney Pinder

In a similar fashion,  Since I posted that link to my personal servers on here google seemed to have crawled my server and indexed my ENTIRE server.

Had people from China and Australia downloading all my music and audio books.

I used to bait them. Try asking them for an application fee before you process their order.

It is just a new version of the Nigerian Scam - They use a stolen Credit Card Number and ask that you pay the freight to their freight company and add it to the Card they do not want the shirts all they are after is the freight money. The freight address does not exist. I have been getting them for about 3 years now.
