COMPANY REPRENSENTATIVE REQUIRED

I am Mr.Masatoshi Sugioka, Representative Director and President of TEIKOKU OIL. TEIKOKU OIL. Teikoku Oil was founded in 1941 as a semi-governmental company in accordance with the Teikoku Oil Law to unify the existing Japanese oil exploration companies at the time, continues to operate with corporate strategies to keep pace with changing times and maintain the momentum of its progress in the steel industry as well as the other businesses in which the Company engages.

Based on the above management principle, Teikoku Oil has been instrumental in securing both domestic and international energy resources as a pioneer of Japan's oil & gas development over the past 65 years.
The structures of many industries are changing at breakneck speed as mergers and restructuring proceed apace. In the thick of these changes, TEIKOKU OIL is working with affiliated companies to attach more weight to well-coordinated management throughout the Group. Specifically, TEIKOKU OIL is positioning three of its businesses-steel sheets, silicon, and steel tubes and pipes, in particular seamless steel pipes-at the core of the Group's operations. The Company is working hard to bolster the efficiency and speed of its management and strengthen its operations by improving costs, quality, delivery times, and R&D capabilities. The Company is constantly aware of its environmental responsibilities, contributing to environmental preservation on a global scale and the realization of a recycling society.

Yes, this one is a fake too. It does use the name of the company president (Masatoshi Sugioka) but it is not from Teikoku Oil.

Part of the English has been copied from the English website (which is referenced). The rest is bad English which shows what the scammer has done, used something from the website. It uses free email servers and asks you to respond to a different email server than the original email. And it asks for a lot of personal details which you should NOT give to them.

ISP: 81.199.41.210 - Izmir, Turkey = Gilat Relay relay Service = Probably from West Africa.

@Archer- You don't really want to consider quitting your day job

Actually this is more of a representative scam. I think they probably send out fake checks, but I don't know for sure. I got part way into working with them then they dropped me. The ISP on the emails I got was 213.185.118.195, right in Nigeria.

As Miyuki noted above, there really is a Teikoku Oil company in Japan and this email uses the name of the company's president. It's a really bad cut and paste job with part copied from the company's webpage and part in bad scammer English.

We'll pass this on to Teikoku. On their English webpage, on the right side, there's a red, flashing "Attention" link. It takes you to this message:

False Email – Attention
Feb 07, 2007

Recently, Email messages from an unidentified person have been sent out by using the name of Mr. Masatoshi Sugioka, President of Teikoku Oil Co., Ltd., (Teikoku), and other Executives in which Teikoku looks for the associates who can act as its medium and receive payments from customers on its behalf. These messages also require a registration of the addressees’ individual details.

However, please be advised that Teikoku and its Directors and Executives have nothing to do with these Email messages. In this connection, we would appreciate it if you pay good attention to such false messages.
