It sometimes is hard to tell them apart sometimes. Your best bet is that if you did not contact them, then they are more then likely trying to take advantage of you.
My recomendation would be to ask them for a contact phone number so that you can talk with them directly (and also be sure to ask when a conviniate time to call would be).
After getting the number, first check it. My recomendations would to be use http://www.anywho.com to do a reverse directory search on the phone number to see who the number is registered to. In additon it turns out that google.com has a great phone number directory so simply search the same number on google.com also ( i learned even today, google publishes even UNPUBLISHED numbers...) .
The reason for doing this will to be able to...
first, see if they are a legitamate bussiness and if they even have a phone number you can reach them at,
and secound you can track Who that phone number is registered to.
-edit DO NOT DO BUSSINESS WITH THEM... the texacoltd.com website is not only down (and written in geocites) it obviously is not a "real bussiness". There is a chance (be it a slight chance) that they might have a really crappy website designer that does not know what they are doing.
Still my recomendation would be to stay away from them.

This site has been taken down, and is a phishing/scam website. It's based off of Geocities so that should send up the red flag. Stop all contact with them.

If it is not a company that you have initiated contact with it is probably not kosher. If you have the new internet explorer it comes with a phishing tool. Try it out. Beware of the mighty info finder. Identity theft is on a rise. Don't trust anyone that you have not contacted first.

McAfee siteAdvisor gives the same page. No information available. Use caution.
