No really, I don't sell shirts


This looks very much like the international credit card scam other dyers have warned me about, involving the use of stolen credit card numbers and, ultimately, a large loss taken by the small business owner when the credit card charges are disputed:

The fact is, I am not selling any shirts at all - I do not even have the time and energy to make all that I would like to for my own friends and family - so I don't know why anyone would try to buy 400 tie-dyed shirts from me.
