Michael Davidson Screenprinting, T-Shirts, Blank, Scam, Dropship, Alexander City, Alabama

A Michael Davidson contacted our custom screenprinting shop looking for 300 Blank White T-Shirts to be drop-shipped to an address under a different name (in a different state than his area code).  A FedEx address lookup showed that the address was not valid.  He was very concerned with getting the t-shirts shipped out immediately after payment via over-the-phone (credit card).  Our correspondence via email was very fast--he would respond to my emails like he was refreshing his email client every 2 seconds.  The whole thing didn't smell right, so I asked him that due to the nature of the order and the turnaround in which he wanted the shirts--to send us a wire/credit transfer.  Shocker that he has not responded as enthusiastically to this email.  Still no response.

In Screenprinting you should be very wary of emails or calls that ask for blank t-shirts.  If it doesn't seem right, it probably isn't.  Please read these articles for more information on these scams;
