Thank you to cr8tivmiki for sharing this info with us. As you can see, Genesis Oil (like many other companies) was being "spoofed" by the scammers.

This is the REAL Genesis Oil and Gas Scam Alert Web Page.
http://www.genesisoilandgas.com/scam_alert.asp

Scam Alert

EASTERN ENERGY OIL & GAS LTD

As of September 2010, we are aware of someone/some organisation calling themselves Eastern Energy Oil & Gas Ltd. They have copied the Genesis Website and have renamed it as their own. This company does NOT EXIST according to UK Companies House records and our conclusion is that this is yet another SCAM and would urge extreme caution for anyone accepting employment or other services offered by these people.

HOTELS BOOKING SCAM ALERT

As of mid-February 2010, there is a Hotel Booking Scam doing the rounds which purports to be from our Company. If you are in any doubts about any such e-mail you receive, please contact our Reception/Switchboard who will advise further. So far the individuals trying this scam on are entitled "Engr Alex Marc" and "Engr Mahmood Ammar" both of whom are using g-mail/googlemail addresses and overseas mobile numbers. Their follow-up/2nd e-mail gives the game away when they start talking about making payments to Agents. We advise that you make your Legal Dept/Legal Adviser aware of any such e-mails.

SCAM ALERT - FAKE EMPLOYMENT OFFERS & INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Genesis and several other International Oil & Gas companies have been targeted by scammers who try to use our Company address details for the purpose of giving authenticity to criminal acts.

These scams are largely related to Employment Offers but there are others relating to Project Investment opportunities - both scams are aimed at obtaining money, ID details and Banking Account details from private individuals.

EMPLOYMENT SCAM

The Employment Offer Scam comes to you by e-mail offering an excellent salary - current figures between 8,500 & 13,500 GBP per month. You are then asked to make contact with another person/organisation to do with Travel or Visa arrangements - when you do this, the next move is for you to be asked for money, your Bank Account details or your ID details.

Genesis DOES NOT make employment offers without an interview, we do not send speculative offers out by e-mail and we DO NOT ask for monies to process Visas, travel etc. If it is a genuine offer from Genesis, we will pay for all those items - you do not have to part with any money at any time.

Also, we are NOT engaging people to work in SOUTH AFRICA or NIGERIA and have NOT instructed any Employment Agency/Recruiter/ "Legal Labor" Consultants to act on our behalf in those countries.

INVESTMENT SCAM

The Investment Opportunity Scam asks you to become a partner/agent or country correspondent in helping Companies secure projects abroad and you are asked to provide money or bank details to help funds move in and out of your home country. Any genuine international Company DOES NOT conduct business in this way and certainly does NOT make unsolicited approaches to private individuals.

WHO ARE THE SCAMMERS?

Some of the names used by the scammers in their e-mails are: BETTY SIBEKO; AHMED NAIDOO; ALEX MARK/ALEX MARC; MAHMOOD AMMAR; RANDALL WOODS; WILLIAM GOLD; MARTIN(S)SANDERS; CHAMBERLAIN D BROWN; GEORGE FITZWILLIAMS; JASON REEVE(S); JOHN CAMBRIDGE; HENRY MOORE; DESMOND WILLIAMSON, RAY/RAYMOND FLAMINI; MARK BROWN; JOHNSON K WOOD; ALEX STREET; ANDREW HOGG; MARK ROGERS; FRANK DICKSON; PHILLIP JOHNSON; MARK HENRY; MORRIS BANKER; STEVEN RAYMOND; ROBINSON WILLIAMS; ANDY CLEWER; STEVEN/STEPHEN COKE; FRANK DICKSON; MASE OIL & GAS LTD; STENMAR; GLAXO TRAVEL(S); UK IMMIGRATION SERVICES; GW IMMIGRATION LTD & UK IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY.

Their usual e-mail addresses are: Info.Jobs@genesisoilandgasltd.com; Career.Genesisoilandgas@live.com; recruit@genesisoilandgasonline.net. And, e-mails from yahoo, live.com, genesisoilandgasltd.com & strompost. THESE ADDRESSES ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY.

They also have a fake website: www.genesisoilandgasltd.com - THIS ALSO IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY.

SUGGESTED ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE

You are strongly advised NOT to pass any personal details or to send monies to these organisations or to any of the people listed above. You should also contact your Internet Service Provider and report the the matter to your local Police Authority.

We also suggest you check what Internet Jobsites/Job Boards your CV is registered on as this is how the scammers obtain your details. This is a serious misuse/abuse of your personal details and you should complain to the Job Board(s)concerned.

GENESIS OIL-COMPANY

There is a website listed as: http://genesisoil-company.com who appear to be an Oil Trading Company. This also has nothing to do with Genesis Oil & Gas Consultants Ltd or any related business entity, and we cannot be held accountable for any of the statements and representations made on this site.

CONTACT US

If you have any doubts about the validity/authenticity of any e-mail or other communication you have received about employment with Genesis, please call our Human Resources Department on +44 (0)207 611 5555 or e-mail us at: recruit@genesisoilandgas.com.
