It seems that impostors at www.statoil.ie are ripping off the identity of www.statoil.com. The clever idiots at the .ie registry don't publish the creation date of their domains, so I can't tell you when this scam came into effect, but judging by the domain expiry date it was around 11-January-2007. The real Statoil site has been around for over ten years, in contrast.
Other than that, what can I say? Same old boring money mule scams. Probably Nigerian or Russian. Probably involves fake cheques.

This scam is still active. This time they wanted me to contact them via the email address "rose.wealth_public_affairs@yahoo.co.uk".
Still active at the same email address. Most recent instance received less than 24 hours ago as of this post. Spam no longer includes a phone number, but is the same in all other important respects.
According to a correspondent, this scam is still around and operating under the same domain name. The scammers are actively recruiting through Craigslist. Please not that the scam involves forged checks and money orders which your bank will happily accept and then bounce weeks later when they discover the forgery. Here's a sample of the correspondence.

Good Day ,
We highlly appreciate your respond. we are glad to offer you for a job position at our company, STAT OIL GROUP CONPANY We need someone to work for the company as a Representative/Book keeper in the USA. This is in view of our not having an office presently in the USA.

Order processing,production monitoring and process flow are seamlessly integrated through a company-wide computer network.
The average monthly income is about 4000.00 USD.* No form of investments from you.* This job takes only 1-3 hours per dayAbout the job: We have sales representatives all over the world to distribute our products. You know, that it's not easy to start a business in a new market (being the US). There are hundreds of competitors, close direct contacts between suppliers and customers and other difficulties, which impede our sales promotion.We have decided to deliver the products upfront, it's very risky but it should push up sales on 25 percent. Thus we need to get payments for our products as soon as it possible. Unfortunately we are unable to open Bank Accounts in the United US without first registering the company name. Presently with the amount of Orders we have, we cannot put them on hold. For fear of loosing the customers out rightly.
Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough, as international Checks take about 14 working days for cash to be made available.We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money transfer delays* Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and help us with the payment process.You are not involved in any sales. Our Sales Representative makes direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and sorted we deliver the product to a customer. The customer receives and checks the products. After this has been donethe customer has to pay for the products. About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through Certified Checks and Money orders based on the amount involved.
YOUR TASK We have decided to open this new job position for solving this problem.Your tasks are;1. Receive payment from Customers2. Cash Payment at your Bank3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to.(Payment is to be forwaded by Western
UnionMoneyTransfer).www.westernunion.com Local Money transfers take barely hours, so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately.For example you've got 3000.00USDyou take your income: 300.00 USDSend to us: 2700.00 USDFirst month you will have 15-20 transactions on 3000.00-4000.00 USDso you may calculate your income.For example 10 transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you 3500.00 USDPlus your basis monthly salary is 1000.00 USDTotal:4500.00 USD per monthAfter establishing a close co-operation with us you'll be able to operate with larger orders and you'll be able to earn more.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them cashed in your bank or other Cashing Services.Deduct your weekly salary and forward the balance to the company via western union money transfer or money gramme money transfer We understand it is an unusual and incredible job position.

Hi,
Good day, my name is ROLAND COOPER (Recruiter, HR Department, STATOIL
GROUP
Of Company). I just reviewed your email through my email search and I
would be
very interested in offering you a part-time position in our company. I
wish to
offer you a position as a Cash / Service representative for Statoil
Group of
COMPANY, in the United States/Canada.This position is designed for you
to help
us handle our cash, cheques and other money transfer related
transactions of
our clients in the North American region.
I would also like to bring to your attention that this is a contract
and
commissions based part time job, therefore you are only allowed to
deduct a
totalof 10% after completing each transaction. I trust you understand
that we
can only offer you a part-time position at the moment and that the
terms and
condition of payments would be based on commission only.
we're offering this position because we have had problems cashing
payments
coming from US(American region)...when ever we receive payments...it
takes
30-48 working days to have them cashed out and despite the fact that
the
time is much...25% would be deducted as tax due to the law governing
foreign
currency in UK...so we decided to place a job offer in US for those who
reside in US,by offering 10% since they can get them cashed without tax
and
much more faster...they could be cashed instantly.
I hope this idea of ours is been considered by you and get you
convinced in
working with us...this job would get started immediately and have it in
mind
that all your informations are kept safely at our hands.
You'reto receive funds purchased in your name by the company from a
client ....and you'll have them cashed,deduct your 10% commission and
then
send the rest to us anywhere we might want you to.You are also to
attend
seminars every quater of the year in (San Diego,California)...more
would be
told in subsequent emails.
However, keep in mind that this is a part position that could lead to a
full
time employment at Statoil Group in the future, provided that you are
willing
to relocate. More importantly, no experience is required; everyone will
be
considered. Information will be made available to you on what to do.
This
information will include how to handle and send our funds. With this
part-time
position, you are guaranteed a minimum of $300 per week. However, you
can also
maximize your pay or commissions, if you are efficient and make a
timely
delivery to us. I advise that you put this into consideration.
Additionally,this is a high risk job that involves a lot of trust and
honesty; you will be dealing with cash, cheques, bank transfers and
money
orders for Statoil Group from our clients in the North American region.
Lastly, this job has been designed not to affect your present job or
employment, nor will it bring about any form of stress onto you. If you
would
be willing to include a good paying, part time job to your daily list
of
activities, please reply back as soon as possible. Keep in mind that
this offer
is for a limited time only.

Does anyone know how this check is sent, Is it in a UPS Package...???
I doubt that the scammers limit themselves to one mode of delivery, but most of the instances I know of used FedEx.
Hello ,
P.S REPLY STRICTLY TO (employments10@hotmail.co.uk)
How do you do, My name is DANNY MACOY (Manager, PR & Public Affairs, Statoil Group). I just reviewed your email through my email search and I would be very interested in giving you a part-time paying job as a cash representative for STATOIL GROUP, in USA, in which you could earn a lot This job would be based on contract and commission terms, it is a part-time job and it would involve quite a lot of trust and honesty. This project has also been developed not to affect your present job nor bring about any form of stress but in order to help take care of those extra costs,and you could make a minmum of $3,500 a month,
Meanwhile there is no start up cost required I took time to make this explanatory enough so you could understand what the job entails. Presently, we have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of europe regarding Oil Drainage Planning and Management and this would be commencing very soon. However the funding would be made mostly in the Usa,as regards the source of funding of this project. Your willing to work as a Payment Representative now will help and save time so that this project can be concluded as soon as possible and I am ready to get you started All you need to do is on getting the payment on behalf of the company, cash at your bank and take 10% of the money cashed as your commission and you would have the rest fund wired to me via western union money transfer.
The main reason I would be needing a pay rep in UNITED STATES is because i am presently in London and even though I can get the wires here from USA, I would have to wait 30days to clear in my bank,25% would be deducted as tax and even if I were to set up an american bank account, it would take much more time and stress. So I talked to the company accountant, and it was a good idea to hire someone trustworthy who could recieve money orders/cheques, and being in the untied states, you could get the depsoits efficiently in your account, then go over to Western Union and have the cash sent in cash to me wherever i might be at that point in time, and I would recieve it in cash, and this happens to be a good idea. Having read your resume and 'assuming' you would be able to deal with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be our payment representative back in the United States, this way I could issue and make these money orders out to you, you could then cash them easily, withdraw 10% of the total amount on the bank depsoit as your commission and then send the rest back to me through Money transfer. Bear it in mind that we would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and would require honesty and dilligence I intend to commence on starting as soon as you are ready you'll be starting soon and it could be twice a week depending on your approach ...if you approach so fast,it'll be more than twice,till you're okay about it. . If you are interested pls fill in the form below this message, edit and reply back as soon as possible.
you can learn more about us at http://www.statoil.ie.
Thanks
