Obviously this mail has nothing to do with the real TEIKOKU OIL CO. LTD but is an attempt to recruit some unsuspecting user(s) for fraudulent activity - relay money or goods to a cybercriminal, mainly Phishers or Malware spreaders.
Interestingly a quick google search revealed that a similar scheme abusing this companies name was already used back in 2007.
From mail headers we could see that the cybercriminal(s) registered an account at a Japanese provider for sending emails. The mail which we received was sent by somebody in Italy - the same IP address was used once at 28/04/2010 to login to 'YouTribe.net' with the nick 'ninetto'.
Don't be fooled by such offers, they are known to end sad.

Seems not a very new set of attacks but the form in which they try to accomplish it is quite interesting because currently (16 Oct 09)almost no AV vendor participating at VirusTotal seems to detect the malicious scripts even by heuristics. As a matter of fact the pushed code is created "on the fly" and different at each get. Some of the malicious URLs (last update Wed Oct 21 03:08:37 UTC):

By now I have collected 91 of such 'new gumblar'-sites.
Visiting any of these does push code of average 30KB while subsequent attempts will only push about 3 KB. In most cases these URLs were just written after the closing head tag and if you find these in any files of your web site, it's time to change passwords, clean up, etc.
These pages try to download PDF, SWF and EXE files to the victim machine.

Phishing for Dummies
The first one
... Then searching some more
... and more
... and more
... even more
... and finally
Most of these sites also point to additional pages containing malicious tools for mass mailing, doing certain kind of scanning for vulnerable hosts, ddos attacks and other nasty things.
Close observation of these sites reveals similarities and that is no wonder because they are all created by the same criminal(s). The provided phish kits do contain PHP scripts which will send the harvested data to the creator in addition to the malicious user who tries to use them.
This scheme is used since more than a year and in the past several similar sites have appeared and were taken down eventually:
scam-pags.net
scam4u.com
thebadboys.org
freescam.webobo.com
online-scams.net
scam7.com
www .scam-page.fr
www .mafia8doc.com
scams-mafia.com
worldpowerz.com
sakhsookh.100webspace.net
Some more technical details might make it into this post soon.

Phishing Attack on Chase (DEC 2008)
Good day!
Most of the christian world is celebrating Christmas and also elsewhere, people are enjoying a short vacation before jumping into the Year 2009. As always at such seasons - it is also an opportunity for criminals who take advantage of the fact that CERTs, abuse desks, ISPs and many IT security related companies might be 'a bit' slow in response.
Beginning at 2008-12-25 18:46:07 a huge spam wave of phishing URLs targeting "JPMorgan Chase & Co" was observed. At time of writing we have collected no less than 11209 unique URLs like the following:
hxxp://chaseonline.chase.com.dlls-to.com/Secure/webform/OSL.aspx?LOB=
