From time to time I keep receiving mail asking if I would like to represent this company.
This time the email is rather fancy with the company flahing in the background, also showing the textile machines.
It all seems to be very sound and basic.
I think the Company does exist, I think someone else is using it for a scam, as you have to contact someone in the UK, and its on a yahoo email addy- to my mind people in Hong Kong speak very good English and if they needed someone they would get you to contact them directly.

I would imagine, is that the first 2,3, orders would all work, then the next orders, they will tell the customers the orders are sent, the customer will pay them, the goods are not delivered and you are then dealing with the customer or something like that.

When someone approaches me and money is so easy to make I get suspicious- has anyone else seen or heard of something like this.

It is my opinion that a  bonefied company would contact you by snail mail on their letterhead. Sounds like a scam to me.  Money laundering?

I often get these type emails and I always delete. I seem to get several every week. They are annoying not to mention scams.

if it sounds too good to be true - run, don't walk away!
My sister-in-law got taken in by a scam a few years ago. She received cheques, deposited them in her account and then forwarded a portion overseas. Of course the cheques bounced and she was almost charged with fraud! She was just anxious for a quick buck but almost ended up with a criminal record.
