Another Dumb T-Shirt Scammer

Yet More T-Shirt ScamsOMG I can’t believe it, it’s only been a few days of returning to t-shirt blogging and I’m already getting more scam emails.

I can always tell because they never own a domain, always contact me from a free email address, have insane names and usually ask for 10,000 of my finest t-shirts or even worse blank ones.

I’ve had a few so far this week, scam emails, but this one really made me laugh and I thought I’d share it with you…

Hello,

I start with much Greetings to you and your whole company, my Name is  Mr. Elvis Brown and I am the owner of ElvisSportClub Yard in New Jersey with regards on certain references I came across your contact having notice that you can supply me with Blank T-Shirts and as such I urgently need this Blank T-Shirts for my SportClub, I would be glad to receive your response including the list of the Blank T-Shirts that you stock, then I will reply with the  details of my order.

Regards,
Mr. Elvis Brown

Just to make sure there are no more scam emails this week, either from Elvis, A Trading Post in Western Sahara, a plethora of Nigerian scam merchants, The Christian Churches of India, Shirtdex Industries of China, and any other fictional multi-conglomerates, associations or charitable organisations who want to make me rich, here are the facts.

  • I don’t print t-shirts.
  • I sell some t-shirts through Spreadshirt, Cafepress, Redbubble and Zazzle but I don’t own my own store.
  • I definitely don’t sell blank t-shirts.
  • I don’t ship thousands of tees without the cash up front and even then I’d probably have to track down a local printer to handle the order.

Okay back to my weekend, but just one more point to T. Mulwalla of Nigeria, listen mate, 99% of the t-shirts at this blog are designed by other designers, this is a t-shirt reviews blog you see, if I’d created every t-shirt you see at Buy-Tees.net I’d be a very rich, very old, very tired man. Okay perhaps the last two might apply the way I’m feeling today; I woke up at 7am to meet a courier with a bunch of Singapore orchids for Chris (it’s her birthday today, so your wishes are welcome ;), and then I cooked her breakfast, tidied up the wrapping paper after her blitz on her presents, and then I got on with my latest artwork, whilst feeding three cats, rubbing my gf’s feet, cleaning the kitchen, and answering crazy emails. Roll on next weekend :p
