Where do I file this one here on the forum?
Does this count as scam?
Thanks a lot
Sherlock

Filing it here is fine as we've no idea what it is at the moment.
Obviously, it's someone up to no good, but wether it's spam or scam, I can't tell. A quick Google shows plenty of hits on the email address but nothing concrete.

Only one way to find out what it's about and that's to answer it!!! I'll send a reply. ;)

To avoid confusion I'm going to add that we are experienced in mailing to scammers and have all the needed tools to remain anonymous. Just answering scam mails without a proper training isn't a good idea ;)

Nothing exciting, I'm afraid.

Just a bog standard 419 Money Transfer scam.

Hello,

The Project is about the exportation of 100,000 barrels of Light Crude Oil daily out
from Iraq to Turkey through my client's company in Iraq at the rate of $86.00 a
barrel. This amount to $8,600,000 daily. I ask for your support as a foreigner to
handle this business project with my client and you are not expected to invest in
Iraq

If yes, let me know and I will have all necessary plans forwarded to you to ensure
safe exportation and transactions.

Time is not really on our side any more, I will appreciate a speedy response from
you.

Kim.
