[SATLUG] OT: Dirty Microbe (T-Shirt Store) Scam

[Jonathan Hull]

Thought I would give you guys the heads up on a problem with Dirty
Microbe. I ordered a shirt from them almost a month ago and have yet
to receive it. This morning I did some investigating and it seems that
others have been having the problem as well. According to blog posts
and other articles they haven't been sending shirts in over 2 months
and are not responding to emails. Their phone numbers have also been
disconnected.

I thought I would let y'all know since they sell Unix related T-Shirts
and it is possible that some SATLUG'rs may have bought or are thinking
about buying shirts from them.

Here are a few links to articles and blogposts about the situation:
