Help needed understanding scam

[babysimon]

Scam is here (bounce used 'cos their HTML suggests they're scanning referer logs).

What's up? Current guesses:

2/1 It turns out to be some sort of pyramid scheme.

4/1 They ask you for some sort of "transfer fee" (see the Nigerian bank swindles).

8/1 It's a bizarre in-joke only two people in the world get.

20/1 They're just harvesting email addresses for spam.

999,999,999/1 The (unnamed, hmmm) oil companies genuinely want to give you $100,000 for doing fuck-all, but strangely only have a Freeserve members web page to do it with.

I want to know because I'm worried a co-worker may be taken in (I'm sure you can guess which one...)

Hmmm. Companies with shareholders merging and handing out free shares to people who are registered only by their email addresses.

It's a 'provably gullible' email harvesting, at the least.
