They always have that in there somewhere, it's uncanny, like they all come from one scam operation.

Got that one last week, Told them it would be 2 million dollars. Didn't hear back.

Yep, that was the tell-tale sign that made me 100% sure it was scam.  Then it went into the cm's and they would deliver the shirts via private carrier blah blah blah.

I'd do it for half that.....

At least this one gets the count right.  Last time I saw this, they wanted 25 dozen for a total of 420 shirts.

I hope I get this one.  I need some test print shirts bad.  Wish they were darks though, but white will do for now.

We're in the same boat.  Get me contact info if it works out.

Too funny, we always reply with one million dollars. The tell for me is ARISE AND SHINE. We have about a dozen versions of this scam but they all see to have ARISE AND SHINE somewhere in the email or graphic.

I have baited the hook and pitched it out into the current, I'm gonna try to set the hook and rip the lips off this one.

   I got this exact one too, but with a catch...it came from an email of what appeared to be a promo company from around the ATL area which is close to me). I googled the company and found an address (albeit residential), and a website as well. It seemed to me like an awful lot of work to just APPEAR legit, and most of these scammers do not seem to put that much back-story into their scams. In the end, my thought was maybe they hijacked another company's abandoned-but-not-removed website and accompanying email addresses.

Ok, I got this one last week and have been doing some snooping and playing along.  So far I have been given a MasterCard with address, phone and all info. I feel like the scammer needs to be scammed. I looked up the card billing phone number and it came up a furniture store in Pittsburgh, PA. When I looked further at them I got a Russian yellow pages add that they are associated with. Not sure if that means anything.  Anyway, I am deciding how to mess with these guys and what else i may do. I am worried from what else I found that they are in the medical/ healthcare field and maybe caring for elderly or disabled people and stealing their credit cards. Any, I will keep you posted. The least they could do is change up their wording, and I have never before been told do a perfect job for me and I give you 100.00 tip. Lol
