I received an e-mail job offer from Europe Oil and Gas Limited from UK. Seeing the e-mail address it raises my doubt about the company. Any body having information about this company may please write to me on dradadiya@yahoo.com

Never heard of them and they only show up on Google once and it looks like a scam to me as the post on yahoo said they were asking him/her to pay 20% of their travel expenses to the UK, but a link to the post is below so you can make up your own mind.

D.D.

If you look at the scam alert, the phone and fax numbers are not U.K. type numbers + google suggests that the address does not exist except on scam alerts.

They share the postcode of Premier Oil at 23 Lower Belgrave Street SW1W 0NR, but that appears to be about all they share.

The easiest way to check if a company exists is via the companies house website at http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ you can use their web-check service for free during office hours to find a few basic details on a company - e.g. company number, registered address. For a small fee (£1 or so) you can get emailed copies of more details such as accounts, directors names and addresses. The info usually comes though instantly (well it has the twice I've had call to use it).
FYI I tried 'your' company and it didn't show up therefore is not a registered company and doesn't exist.
hope this helps

Thanks to all of you who took interest and provided information. Its concluded that its a scam only. I had impression of scam at the very first e-mail I had received but I wanted to alert other members too and get more information to confirm the scam.

By sharing information we can benefit each other that's networking on this IOSH web site.

Do a google search. If nothing comes up, it's a scam. If you accept the offer, they will probably ask for a fee to release details!

Hello guys,

I got into this trap also and I got replies.

I googled the company name before sending my private information and I found you talking same subject. Thanks alot :)

I wonder how he/she can get benefit out of this game...I wont send him any money and I don't think any well-educated person can buy this.

Thanks again
Rami AL-Sahhar
