I have recently been offered the ultimate dream job from a company calling themselves Oceanic Oil and Gas LLC. I became suspicious once i reviewed the web page they had set up as their front. I have been in the Oil and gas business for over 20 years and i have yet to pay for any documentation such as visas or any other requirements.
I am concerned someone of lesser experience will fall for this so i need to get this out there. Oceanic Oil and Gas LLC and its subsidiary Fanoy Gas in Abu Dhabi are identical in set up. I googled the address of this company and there is no office associated with this address, i fact after using street view you can clearly see a house at this address. http://www.oceanicoilgasltd.com/Career.html Address is listed as 11 ARNHEM DRIVE, NEW ADDINGTON .LONDON CR0 0ED, UK, now firstly this is an address in Croydon UK...NOT London, there is no such address in London. posted below for you information is the emails i received from these scammers.
Seems Legit.....WRONG!

Thanks for submitting your application.
We currently have an on-going project which we believe that your experience will be useful.
Project Details;
OCEANIC OIL & GAS has been a non-operated partner in the Bittern field since 2010, holding a 4.73% stake in the field until the acquisition of Hess’ 28.3% share in February 2015. As one of the majority stakeholders in Bittern, OCEANIC OIL & GAS noted interest in taking over operatorship of the Triton and officially became operator on Wednesday 1 February 2017.
The Triton is located in block 21/30 approximately 120 miles east of Aberdeen, and produces oil and gas from the Bittern, Clapham, Pict, Saxon, Guillemot West and North West fields.
Triton is our first major operated asset in the UK, it consolidates our strong position in the Central North Sea and is a core part of our strategy to acquire more operated positions where there is a strong commercial and operational rationale to do so.
The synergies realised from OCEANIC OIL & GAS operatorship of both the Greater Guillemot Area subsea facilities and the Triton will help maximise value from our interests in the area.
In addition to the direct operational benefits associated with operatorship of Triton, it will also give us valuable operational experience of FPSOs as we look forward to our $1.5bn Western Isles Development Project in the Northern North Sea, which involves the construction of a new-build circular FPSO, with first oil expected in 2017 at c.40,000 boepd.
Joint venture partners in Triton are OCEANIC OIL & GAS (51.966%), Shell UK (26.42%), Esso Exploration and Production UK Limited (20%) and Endeavour (1.614%). It has double project phase of Offshore and Onshore.
