wonder how you sleep

From a random profile:

"Dominance is a whisper.
It doesn't have to push, it coaxes addiction.
Dominance is patient.
Knowing the value of what it seeks, it is not rushed.
Dominance is not brash.
It is a smile, not a smirk. It is honesty not excuses.
Dominance is resolute.
It does not sway or collapse when tested.
Dominance is steady.
Like a mountain, it does not bend to the wind, or move for the climber.
Dominance is rare.
Those who crave it the most, have it the least."
A muchness of truth there.

At any rate, something struck me going through my spam folder today:

Hello,

I reviewed your reputable profile
This made me laugh out loud.
which gives me the intuition that you will be a potential business partner in a crude oil venture of two million barrels monthly involving the National Oil Corporation of Libya (NOC) and Singapore Refining Company Pte (SRC).
Boy, are you barking up the wrong investment tree.
This crude oil venture will gain commissions up to the value of $10 Million
Of course it will.
in revenue approximately per trade with the NOC and I will present you with more entails of this venture subsequent to your response.
"Entails"?

Regards,
Long walk, short pier,

So, strangely, execs.com is registered in New Jersey of all places, Bedminster to be specific. Even odder, nocpayment.com seems to trace to North Oklahoma College. I was expecting this to be Ukraine or Chinese in derivation, but could this possibly be a local attempt at scamming? Why pretend to be in Libya or Singapore, though? It's very odd.

There is a National Oil Corporation of Libya, as well as a Singapore Petroleum Company, which is the main corporate name of Singapore Refining Company. But SRC is owned by a Chinese concern, PetroChina, with Chevron owning a minor sharehold. But Chevron's corporate headquarters are in California, not New Jersey. Nothing about this makes sense. It's not even a good attempt at grifting.
