This email just came in tonight...anyone who feels they'd like to help supply and NOT screen print one million t-shirts at $8 each, let me know. I'll just add my 0.5% commission to your bill and you can send ME the money in advance, thanks, as a finder's fee. I'll then leave you do deal with Mr Idi Amin!

It sure sounds genuine to me

Genuine scam.

He wants 1,000,000 pieces of T-shirts? Run a couple dozen shirts through a shredder until you have a million pieces.

Questions:
Where are you going to get one million T-Shirts?
How are you going to finance the purchase price of a potential several million dollars?
He should try the chinese

He does say they'll pay up-front, I think...
Dave I did consider that shredder part too-but counting them would be tough, and notice that it's 'one million point zero zero.' That's two significant figures-he wants no fractions, just the perfect 10 to the power of six. And we'd have to remove all labels which would take a short while...
As I said, I'm happy to forward this to anyone as long as they pay me the half a percent finder's fee first!

Does Pay-Pal go that high?
Tell'em to just send the money, then you'll have a couple months to worry about where you're going to get the shirts.

Hmmm, Dale, that's about 25 thousand shirts a day, times 40 working days to find & verify the order... but I'll let you do it-just send me the commission, thanks!
