There is alot of these going around to sign shops too.. for banners..
usually saying something.. like God Is Good.. or Feed the Children
What they try to do is give you stollen credit card number.. or fake cashiers check.. and they will make the payment more that the shirt order is.. So you can then pay the freight out of it.
Which of course is just some partner of theres.. who they want you to give like 1,000 dollars to or more.. of your money..
They dont really even want the shirts or banners.. they are after the money that they will want you to give the fake shipping guy..
The way I handle it.. is by tellin gthem I will only accept payments in cash lol..
they go away quick
Thanks for that info. I was wondering exactly how the scam worked. I figured it had something to do with this "freight agent".
From the moment I received the first e-mail from this guy, it was obviously a scam. It really became a game with me and my husband...we wanted to figure out how this guy was going to turn this scam into cash. Explains why we never heard back from him after I told him that UPS or FedEx or DHL would have to present me with a pre-paid call tag for me to ship the order.

The end result of my situation, He wanted me to send him 40% of the check"after I cashed it". I replied to the next email he sent and I told him the check was held up at the bank. He sent a few more emails to ask for the money, then I never heard from him again. Well, maybe I have, becasue I still get some of these emails form time to time. I have to admit, these guys we're good, and could have fooled someone who wasn't as cautious. Usually, common sense will take control of a situation like this and lead you in the right direction. That's a good thing!
Some of them will also insist that you pay their delivery service (and someone will call up claiming to be from UPS...), or that you use their vendor for the materials.
What I find so amazing is that the e-mails these guys send out are so poorly written. That's the first giveaway -- that they can barely spell their "own name".
I've seen correspondence that is translated by computer from one language to another, and these are not translated.
