1. What is a job scam? Also known as Advance Fee Fraud or 419 Fraud.
Answers: First of all, what is a job scam? Probably most of you already know the answer, but for those who don鈥檛, here is an explanation: a job scam is a form of FRAUD where certain persons (scammers), posing as recruiters (agencies) or as employers offer really attractive employment opportunities (which seem too good to be true); subsequently, the jobseeker (candidate looking for a good job) is required to pay them [the scammers] money in advance, usually under the guise of work visas, air travel expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses. Usually, the job scam form is called Advance Fee Fraud or 419 Fraud.

2. How do the scammers act?
Answers: A scammer attempts to gain his victim's [the victim is the jobseeker] confidence in order to extract personal information such as full name, bank account details, credit card details, PayPal information, Social Security Number (SSN), driver鈥檚 license, birth date, home address, or any other personal data.
Top^
3. What should you do to protect yourself?
Answers: It鈥檚 easy. Never disclose, by email or telephone, to people whom you don鈥檛 know, your personal data such as: - full name - bank account details - credit card information - PayPal information - Social Security Number (SSN) - driver鈥檚 license - birth date - home address
Top^
4. How to tell if a recruiter/employer is real, genuine and in good faith?
Answers: You can try one or more of the below options:
a) Look at the company name. Is it saying anything to you? Have you heard of it before?
b) Does the domain name match the name of the company?
c) Ask your friends and colleagues if they heard of that company.
d) Google it. Yahoo it. MSN it. Run a search and see if the same company has been involved in job scams or if other people say that company has been scamming others.
e) See what country that company pretends to be working in. Then call or email the Embassy of that particular country and ask them if they know anything of it.
f) Ask that company if you need to pay anything in exchange for their service. If first they say no and then, after some time, say you must pay for visa, work permit or for travel, it鈥檚 a fake company and behind it are job scammers!
g) Ask that company to provide you copies of their incorporation certificate or proofs of Government registration, or VAT number.
h) And finally, be advised that most fake companies acting as scammers ';offer'; scam jobs in areas such as Africa (Nigeria being the most famous case), Middle East, Asia, even South America. To a much smaller extent, even US or Western Europe.
Remember! We provide a FREE Checking System: if you get a job offer that sounds too good to be true, please email us at info[at]oil-offshore-marine.com and we will investigate and check if that job offer is a scam or not, and if the job offer was made by a real, good-faith, company.

5. Ways to discover if a job offer made to you is real or scam.
Answers: There are several methods you can use to determine whether a recruiter or employer is real, and acting in good faith. Generally speaking, if you are made a job offer by a company to whom you never applied before and, still, they make you a job offer without even having interviewed you, that is a clear job scam. But let鈥檚 see some possible scenarios:
a) First of all, look at the web address from which the pretended recruiter or employer send the email. For instance, let鈥檚 you get an email from ';Shell UK ';, but when you look in the From: field, you see this ';Shell UK'; - ';shelluk@yahoo.com';. If this is the case, it is clearly a job scam. Why? Because real companies, acting in good faith never use free email providers (such as Yahoo!, AOL, MSN, GMAIL and so forth).
b) Second, let鈥檚 say you get an email from a so called Xaturnico Oil Company. The email comes from ';Xaturnico'; - ';career@xaturnico.com';. So far so good, there are high chances that the company exists, and the domain name (xaturnico.com) matches the company鈥檚 name, Xaturnico. Also, the domain xaturnico.com is valid, working, uploaded on hosting and the company has a web presence (no ';currently under construction'; appears). Now you need to dig further - read the email, see what they are saying. If they use fancy words, and make you a job offer with a very high salary comparing to your current salary or to the market rates, or if they are asking for an advance payment (either by PayPal, check, wire transfer or other form), or if they are asking you to forward them any personal information (such as credit card information, bank account details, etc), that is a job scam! DO NOT send them any payment, and do not provide them with any personal information.
c) Third, let鈥檚 assume you get an email fro Wakutty Oil. The email comes from ';Wakutty Oil'; - ';recruitment@wakutty.com';. There are high chances that the company exists, and the domain name (wakutty.com) matches the company鈥檚 name, Wakutty. Also, the domain wakutty.com is valid, working, uploaded on hosting and the company has a web presence (no ';currently under construction'; appears). They are rather smooth, they don鈥檛 ask anything from you, you exchange emails with them, everything is ok, then, after 2 weeks (or, if they are very patient, after 2 months), they suddenly say they need an advance payment (either by Paypal, check, wire transfer or other form), or they are asking you to forward them your personal information (such as credit card information, bank account details, etc), that is, yes, a job scam. DO NOT send them any payment, and do not provide them with any personal information.
d) In order to gain your trust, these scammers / fake companies might even say they need your medical information, previous employment status, and so forth. Do not disclose this information to anyone you do not know and whom you cannot check (either in person or by official ways).
e) There are other scenarios we have yet to hear of. Stay cautious! Email us if you hear of anything new, so we can put it here and benefit others.
Remember! We provide a FREE Checking System: if you get a job offer that sounds too good to be true, please email us at info[at]oil-offshore-marine.com and we will investigate and check if that job offer is a scam or not, and if the job offer was made by a real, good-faith, company.
Top^
6. What to do if you encounter a job scam.
Answers:
a) Do NOT reply to the email.
b) Do NOT reply to the email; once you reply, even to tell the sender you are not interested, they will keep emailing you.
c) Do NOT disclose any personal information to anyone.
d) Do NOT send money to anyone.
e) Send us information regarding that company/scammer so that we can add it to the list of job scammers %26amp; fake companies (see below).

fraud, is it to do with working on an oil rig or something?
normally they get all friendly and then ask for a payment to process the paperwork etc..
there is a whole list of named companies trying this scam.
I forget the website, but there is another question on here someplace along the same thing about job app being accepted and send them like 拢30 for more info and help.
you ppl amaze me forget it it is a scam
Nobody refers to Birmingham as Birmingham City, and there are no oil wells in Birmingham, so I have no idea why an oil company would set up shop there . . . I think it's a SCAM.

How much does it cost to replace a oil heater with a gas heater in the city of Philadelphia?
replacing oil heater with a gas heater costHow much does it cost to replace a oil heater with a gas heater in the city of Philadelphia?
my answer is try to look around on this site http://www.autozone.com/
my answer is try to look around on this site http://www.autozone.com/
How can a person who lives in the city prepare for the decline after peak oil?
Oil will not just ';run out'; because all oil production follows a bell curve. This is true whether we're talking about an individual field, a country, or on the planet as a whole.
Oil is increasingly plentiful on the upslope of the bell curve, increasingly scarce and expensive on the down slope. The peak of the curve coincides with the point at which the endowment of oil has been 50 percent depleted. Once the peak is passed, oil production begins to go down while cost begins to go up.
In practical and considerably oversimplified terms, this means that if 2005 was the year of global Peak Oil, worldwide oil production in the year 2030 will be the same as it was in 1980. However, the world鈥檚 population in 2030 will be both much larger (approximately twice) and much more industrialized (oil-dependent) than it was in 1980. Consequently, worldwide demand for oil will outpace worldwide production of oil by a significant margin. As a result, the price will skyrocket, oil dependant economies will crumble, and resource wars will explode.
The issue is not one of ';running out'; so much as it is not having enough to keep our economy running. In this regard, the ramifications of Peak Oil for our civilization are similar to the ramifications of dehydration for the human body. The human body is 70 percent water. The body of a 200 pound man thus holds 140 pounds of water. Because water is so crucial to everything the human body does, the man doesn't need to lose all 140 pounds of water weight before collapsing due to dehydration. A loss of as little as 10-15 pounds of water may be enough to kill him.
In a similar sense, an oil based economy such as ours doesn't need to deplete its entire reserve of oil before it begins to collapse. A shortfall between demand and supply as little as 10 to 15 percent is enough to wholly shatter an oil-dependent economy and reduce its citizenry to poverty.
The effects of even a small drop in production can be devastating. For instance, during the 1970s oil shocks, shortfalls in production as small as 5% caused the price of oil to nearly quadruple. The same thing happened in California a few years ago with natural gas: a production drop of less than 5% caused prices to skyrocket by 400%.
Fortunately, those price shocks were only temporary.
The coming oil shocks won't be so short lived. They represent the onset of a new, permanent condition. Once the decline gets under way, production will drop (conservatively) by 3% per year, every year. War, terrorism, extreme weather and other ';above ground'; geopolitical factors will likely push the effective decline rate past 10% per year, thus cutting the total supply by 50% in 7 years. Source
These estimate comes from numerous sources, not the least of which is Vice President Dick Cheney himself. In a 1999 speech he gave while still CEO of Halliburton, Cheney stated:
By some estimates, there will be an average of two-percent annual growth
in global oil demand over the years ahead, along with, conservatively, a
three-percent natural decline in production from existing reserves. That
means by 2010 we will need an additional 50 million barrels per day.Source
Cheney's assesement is supported by the estimates of numerous non-political, retired, and now disinterested scientists, many of whom believe global oil production will peak and go into terminal decline within the next five years, if it hasn't already. Source
Many industry insiders think the decline rate will far higher than Cheney anticipated in 1999. Andrew Gould, CEO of the giant oil services firm Schlumberger, for instance, recently stated that ';An accurate average decline rate of 8% is not an unreasonable assumption.'; Source Some industry analysts are anticipating decline rates as high as 13% per year. Source A 13% yearly decline rate would cause gobal production to drop by 75% in less than 11 years.
If a 5% drop in production caused prices to triple in the 1970s, what do you think a 50% or 75% drop is going to do?
Estimates coming out of the oil industry indicate that this drop in production has already begun. Source The consequences of this are almost unimaginable. As we slide down the downslope slope of the global oil production curve, we may find ourselves slipping into something best described as a ';post industrial stone age.';
Peak Oil is also called ';Hubbert's Peak,'; named for the Shell geologist Dr. Marion King Hubbert. In 1956, Hubbert accurately predicted that US domestic oil production would peak in 1970. Source#1 Source #2 He also predicted global production would peak around the year 2000, which it would have had the politically created oil shocks of the 1970s not delayed it for about 5-10 years.
';Big deal. If gas prices get high, I鈥檒l just drive less. Why should I give a damn?';
Because petrochemicals are key components to much more than just the gas in your car. As of the year 2002, approximately 10 calories of fossil fuels are required to produce every 1 calorie of food eaten in the US. Source The size of this ratio stems from the fact that every step of modern food production is fossil fuel and petrochemical powered:
Pesticides and agro-chemicals are made from oil;
Commercial fertilizers are made from ammonia, which is made from natural gas, which is also peaking in the near future. Source
Most farming implements such as tractors and trailers are constructed and powered using oil-derived fuels.
Food storage systems such as refrigerators are manufactured in oil-powered plants, distributed using oil-powered transportation networks and usually run on electricity, which most often comes from natural gas or coal. Like oil and natural gas, coal too is peaking in the near future. Source
In the US, the average piece of food is transported almost 1,500 miles before it gets to your plate. Source In Canada, the average piece of food is transported 5,000 miles from where it is produced to where it is consumed.How can a person who lives in the city prepare for the decline after peak oil?

Oil is increasingly plentiful on the upslope of the bell curve, increasingly scarce and expensive on the down slope. The peak of the curve coincides with the point at which the endowment of oil has been 50 percent depleted. Once the peak is passed, oil production begins to go down while cost begins to go up.

What is the best weight oil to use in a car? I live in PA and do both city and hwy driving.?
I have 2 SUV's and a 4-cyl passenger car. I do everything from hwy driving to towing a trailer with the SUV's. I wasn't sure if 5w30 was the best oil for my cars year-round. i live in south central PA, and have both winter and summer weather.What is the best weight oil to use in a car? I live in PA and do both city and hwy driving.?
use 5w30 year round. That is what the manufacturer recommends and is the best in all temps.What is the best weight oil to use in a car? I live in PA and do both city and hwy driving.?
look in your maintence manual. should be 5w30 or 10w30 for year around driving
I live a little south of you (just north of Baltimore) and probably have similar weather. I run 10w30 in my truck (V8 engine) and 5w30 in my wife's 4 cylinder car (both synthetic oil).
You didn't mention what type of SUVs you have and whether or not they're still under manufacturer's warranty (if so, follow the owner's manual recommendations for weight and frequency). 5w30 would be fine for the winter in all the vehicles and fine for year round use in the car.
If the SUVs are V8s, you may want to use 10w30 in the summer. The advice of an oil cooler for the towing is right on, too.
synthetic valvoline bottle, not in the drums when you get your oil changed because it's recycled.also better driving but once started you have to continue use.
Best advice is to follow your owners manual. Most newer cars run fine on 5W30....
If you are doing heavy towing, you should have an auxilary oil cooler installed
Whatever the owners manual say is the best. The manual for my car specifies 10W30. A diesel pickup specifies 15W40
use 10 w 30 in the summer hot months. The reason is that the heat will break down the 5w30 oil much quicker. Use 5w30 during the cold winter months when there is less heat.
