    The t-shirts are still available for sale on his website - funny that.

    Evian offical t-shirts only come in S,M & L, where as scammer does them in S,M,L,XL & XXL.

    Several people spammed his facebook page, however if I could understand how twitter worked I'd spam that too.

    princesswoo---not sure if u saw my post earlier but i went back in as if i was buying another one with a made up name etc and put all 00000000 for card number etc and it went through and i received a confirmation email....thats what makes me think the money taker server thing(soz don't know what its called lol) isn't legit as if i did that on any other website im sure my card would be declined.

    it's awful like isn't it.

    That doesnt sound good, but I honestly dont know how these things work. Im a bit naive to it all myself. i normally only shop on big branded well known high street store websites, or use paypal, if im unsure.

    I know a few friends who has set up small shops for their handmade artwork, and they have payment pages on them, and i'm sure they said they tet the payment function with all the 000000, to test the whole payment function works from start to finish etc etc. So maybe thats why it allowed you to do it. (although im probably clutching at straws)
