Fake "Oil and Gas Co. Ltd" Advance Fee Emails

The fake "Oil & Gas Co. Ltd" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it.

An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick.

To: Recipients

I greet you with warm regards. I work for Supreme Oil & Gas Co. Ltd. Malta As a procurement supervisor. Supreme Oil & Gas Co. Ltd. Malta, Is engaged in the supply of gas oil and diesel oils for the marine and industrial transport use, situated in the Republic of Malta / Europe and a common border with Libya and most Northern African Countries.I contact you, as I believe that we could take advantage of the high price of gas oil / petrol in

Southern Africa countries of South Africa and Zimbabwe respectively, to our own benefit. Please read:https://www.news24.com/Tags/Topics/petrol_price_hike and https:

On my desk is a mandate to arrange for Oil purchase from Republic of South Africa and Zimbabwe for up to 2,000,000 barrels on monthly bases for 12 calendar months. This purchase is what we call a back door purchase / black market in oil market, my colleagues and I have been conducting this back door supplies / black

market oil supply to most big companies in South Africa and Zimbabwe including private mines, agriculture and manufacturing

Companies for use on their plants in times like this when the normal petrol prize is high. The reason for my reaching out to you is because we in the process of establishing a middle man structure to mediate between the 2 parties involved (our Company and the Companies in Southern Africa) before any contract is signed. You may be wondering why I cannot do it myself. The honest fact is that as an employee working

for this company, it is against our company's operational ethics/policy for an employee to be involved or profit in any

financial dealings with our Company hence I am looking for a trustworthy person outside my work circle in order to maintain a discreet profile.

I wish to extend this partnership to you my friend to build a middle man structure with you while I work from the background to guide you. Our commission/brokerage

as middle man is between $2 - $3 per barrel so if the target of 2M barrels is met monthly we stand to share $4M - $6M every month for a span of 12 months. Contact me if you are interested in this deal, so

that I can give you further details.denzeljoseph67@gmail.com/ denzeljoseph67@europe.com
