There have been a few of these scams going around, this one is getting better at it.
My favorite is the person looking to buy 500-1000 blanks asking if you accept credit cards.

The first line is a dead giveaway.. especially the credit card part.

I'm sure someone has fallen for this before, what do these guys do with these shirts?

Looks like all of the other scams to me...

They never pick the shirts up. The way the scam works (as far as I understand...) is they make a huge payment on the credit card and have an explanation for the extra money (they're in a foreign country and don't want any delays, etc.) Then they ask you to deduct your charges, add on some extra for the convenience, blah, blah, blah, and wire them cash for the difference. Once you wire them the cash, you never hear from them again and the credit card they gave you turns out to be a fake.
