I get this about 2 to 3 times a month. The formatting is the same the email and names are always different. A company locally sent them shirts and was never paid. (credit card was no good or somthing.) It was a few years ago and was for alot more than 1000 shirts. The amount they ask for has gone way done in the last year. I get them for 600 shirts alot now. They always want white shirts???

As to how it works....
Sometimes they are looking for a "tender fee"
You are expected to pay to activate their invoice/contract.
In the case below, they asked for a wire transfer of $750 to activate the Purchase order.

Oh... and they would like you to include all your bank information, so they can try to empty that.

After learning of getting some inheritance form someone...


Hot Damn!

Send me the monies! I'd sure could use it cuz I got none ever since I got liquored up and ran over that carny at the freak show. Little SOB's ole lady sued me fer doing her a favor. I herd he beat her up Purdy bad after she went off on him when she caught him in the sack with the bearded yak lady. But we need to keep it on the down low cuz I don't want that dizzy biatch findin out bout me gettin rich. She got all uppity after I had to sell my 87/88 half breed S 10 pick up to pay her off. I need to set me up on of them there off shore counts to put the monies in. Emails me back in a week and I'll have er all squared up.
