Hi its bound to be a scam please read the following.
Oil and gas investment schemes find investors to dupe through both telemarketing boiler rooms and email promotions (SPAM). The staff of these operations know little or nothing about the oil business. They're high-pressure sales experts with tons of experience squeezing hard earned dollars from unwary consumers. Should you respond to one of their emails or talk to one of them on the phone, you'll be told about the riches that await you, because this is one investment that just can't miss. Profitibility isn't even in question. You'll make money, a lot of money. Then they'll offer to send you some brochures to look over if you're not already convinced. Their printed material are often quite professional looking because they want you to see how rock solid this investment is. That's enough to fool many novice investors, but a savvy investor would never, ever be willing to sock money into something based on a cold call and glossy brochure.

- "This well is guaranteed to make money."
- "A geologist gave me this tip."
- "There has been a huge "discovery" in an adjoining field."
- "A well known oil company is planning to drill in the area."
- "This deal is open to only a few, unique investors, such as yourself."
- "Only a few shares are left so you need to send us money right away to get in on this deal."
