Kunlun Energy Scam Email

These fake emails that claim to be from Hong Kong-based Kunlun Energy appear to be looking for people to participate in some sort of money laundering scheme. They are offering 10% commission on amounts received into personal or business accounts supposedly on behalf of Kunlun Energy.

Anyone offering money for doing close to nothing is almost guaranteed to be a scammer.
