Has ANYONE heard of this company??? When I search them on the internet, the company I founf didn't seem to match the above. I can't find any other information about them other than the fact that they are sending out similar emails to others. I was under the impression online job search companies were supposed to screen out scammers....
Any information would be useful. Thanks.

This is my last comment regarding Fartex: I've come across a job hunter who was ripped-off to the tune of over $7,000 by this group of scammers.
I would say that the same motto holds true for job seekers as does for discriminate shoppers:
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is

Let the job hunter be-AWARE!

I have been looking for a job for a while now and recieved an email from this company. I decided to do a little research on them. The only info I found was on Rip Off Report. I have to say that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. This company seems fishy. I have decided to turn down their offer, as it seems that everyone gets the same email I did. Thank you for posting about this company and letting other stories be known.

After further research, a phone number tied to the company - 5186326184 - is linked with a company called MGPA Group, Inc. with an address also at 3060 Castleton Drive, New York, NY.
This company claims to have been set up in New York in 1990 by three "enthusiasts" having financial education; the head of the company being a Michael Thompson.

I would also worry about ID theft, they DO have your ID. Why did you even fall for it? Shouldn't the bad grammar be a dead giveaway?

Should Fartex Inc. be considered legit? I don't know about that.

I too received a nice email from this so called Fartex Inc. But unfortunately I fell for this off the wall scam. After responding with your name and phone# you will then be directed to go through the employment verification process. The agreement and policies were well thought out. This took a lot of time and effort. Everything seems legit at first, you have to send them a copy of your id and a copy of the signed agreement, like any employer. After that is completed, you will then be directed to go to the company website and fill out a profile with your personal information and banking details, for money processing. They say that they will transfer money to your bank account and you will then have to withdraw the money and use western union to transfer the money out of the country. Money Laundering! Plain and simple! Yeah, well not quite. After you give them your information they would like to know if you could possibly give them your online banking information, including your password. Well, I then said no. But they said that this was just an option, just in case you might want to be trusted by the company a little more. Since they will be sending you money and all and lots of it, that might seem understandable, but believe me it is not. So I was then directed to wait a couple of days for my first task. I was informed to check my account on their company website everyday before 9am, just to see if I had a new task. Well, one day I checked it and needless to say, I had a task. Wow, I thought, maybe this might be an alright company. The information stated that they had wired 8,000 dollars to my account and gave me all sorts of details of what to say to my bank if they happen to ask me questions regarding this large sum. I was directed to call my bank and verify if the money was there and make sure I could withdraw the entire ammount. I called my bank, but the money was not there. Real Surprise! I immediately emailed my so called supervisor and informed them that the money was not there. They wrote back and said "That's funny everyone else has received their money. Is there anyway that you can give me access to you account online?". I then replied that I do not have online banking. So they told me to keep checking my bank and see if the money had come in and asked me to verify my account # for my bank and to my surprise my bank account # was wrong, there was 1 number missing. How could that be? I knew I filled the information out correctly. How didn't they notice that there weren't enough numbers for the account? Hmmm. Well, I wrote them back and told them that the account # was wrong! They then told me that it was my fault that the money was not transferred to my account and that they would have to wait 24 hours to get the money back.
I had already figured this out by then. They simply have people fill out their info, tell them that they are transferring money into their account, and when you find out that the money is not there you do not want to look like a liar so you then give them access to your online bank account and BAM they have your money!
Great Scam Guys! You get a thumbs up for your effort! If these people would use their knowledge for good, how pleasant this world would be.
BE SAFE when having any type of contact with this company. Google Fartex Inc. and you will find a whole lot of interesting facts about this fake company with fair warning to stay away from them.
