This is an internet money scam... Terratex is a real compnay but Michael Hailfield is not with them AND HE is the scam artist here is what they say..."Dear Sir/Madam,
Terratex Cotton Limited is a UK textile company. We produce and distribute clothing materials such as batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costume worldwide. We have reached big sales volume of textile materials in the Europe and now are trying to penetrate the US market. Quite soon we will open representative offices or authorized sales centers in the US and therefore we are currently looking for people who will assist us in establishing a new distribution network there. The fact is that despite the US market is new for us we already have regular clients also speaks for itself."
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US?
The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in UK is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%. There is no sense for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private individual is 7%. Thats why we need you! We need agents to receive payment for our textiles (in money orders, check or bank wire transfers) After you receive the payment you will deduct your salary per transaction which is 10% plus transfer fee and to resend the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer. This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.
ITS ALL A LIE!!! They send you counterfeit blank money orders that look very good... They then tell you to cash them at your bank keeping 10% for you and then send the rest of the money minus wiring fee's to some other person... What happens when you try to cash a money order you have to have the same amount of money in your bank account in order to cash them... So after a couple of days go buy you will realize when the bank is calling you to tell you the money orders you cashed with them are fake... And you lost the money in your account... I was fortune to catch this before i lost anything... I called Money Gram to confirm the 4x$650 money orders I recieved and sure enough they did not show up in the system... I found this scam on yahoo hot jobs... Im going to include the contact info from the person who tryied to make this scam happen:
