Fred Knott Textile Co., Ltd.

Search this blog for "textile" or "textiles", and you'll probably be astonished at the number of hits. Some scammers really like to stick to variations on a theme, it seems, and "textiles" is one of them. From the scant information available in this spam, it appears that the scammer is running a cheque fraud scam: sending bad cheques to unwitting dupes on the pretext of "payment processing". These cheques will clear for long enough to draw on them, but bounce later, leaving the victim significantly poorer for his efforts.
