Do you know of a company called "Fartex Group" or had direct contact with employment?

Question

I sent back the e-mail and I just received his relpy, and there are links to company web site, so I'm going to check it out and I'll update everyone who answered me back....Thanks for the e-mails

Answer 1

Did you happen to be contacted by them through CraigsList?

I received an email from the Fartex Group today and was looking to see if anyone knew anything about them too.

Answer 2

most probably a scam!

Answer 3

They contacted me today also...same guy Justin Shepard (sp?) and i am not too sure about them either. If anyone hears of a good legitimate work at home business please let me know. Thanks.

Answer 4

I too have gotten a few emails from a Justin Sheppard from the Fartex Group. Sounds good but I'm a bit hesitant as you all know there's an immense amount of scams now days...It's a little scary you know? So yeah, if anyone hears of anything let me know please! Thanks!!

Ok I have been doing research and this is what I came up with. I googled the telephone number from their website (5186326184) and it came up w/ a few other websites that are set up JUST like the Fartex Group one only w/ different names. I personally don't think this is real, just based off of what I've seen. Here's a few links that I came across. Please if you choose to do this anyhow, at least click these links first....

Good luck everyone, and if you need anything else let me know. I'm not going to fall for this one, although I'll admit, it was close!! lol. Feel free to hit me up if you guys need anything though and I'll see what else I can find. Thanks guys!

Answer 5

No I haven't.  However I recieved the same e-mail today regarding employment.  I found a little info on the web but I'm sure you found the same info.  If you or anybody else discovers any relevant info on this company I would appreciate it greatly if you could include me in your findings.

Thank you.

Answer 6

I was contacted as well.  I read the webiste and FAQ in detail.  I have emailed them back with a list of questions that the FAQ did not cover and they are as follows.

1. May I have your EIN/Tax Id #?

2. Will I need to fill out a W9 or will I receive a 1099?

3. I live 2 miles from 2 different WU’s and 4 miles from BOA but, only 2 miles from a Suntrust so, if quickest response if crucial, why is it necessary to use only BOA and WM, can you not get Suntrust on your approved banking list?

4. If  the account must be opened in my name can you explain why you don’t have accounts in your company name and add individuals as authorized agents/signers?

5. If the account must be opened in my name, can I do so as D/B/A Fartex Group?  

People, I have yet to hear back from them.  I have received other offers like this that included their tax/ein and if you have that, there is a website you can go to that will allow you to do a free search on a company name, ein or address.  I think your limit is three before you have to pay.  The other emails that I received didn't check out to be legit so, I'm assuming this one isn't either since I have yet to hear back from them.  It's been 2 days since I sent the email of questions.  

Your immediate reply would be appreciated as I am looking forward to getting started right away.

Good luck everyone and Good JOB for doing your research!! I think Craigs list is a great place to search, not so great for advertising.  I have had more scams come from this site than I care to admit.
