Notes

"Red Flags" sender e-mail address: fabrizzi11111@gmail.com, a free email provider but why do they name themselves Oman Air Procurement then continue the e-mail as though they are the company called Pemex?

They give a reply to e-mail address info@pemexvendoregistration.com suggesting they have access to that account and it also seems that a website is displayed at the address https://pemexvendoregistration.com a whois search showing it was only just registered. Check the "Further Reading" link to view Scamminder report

Further examination of the website shows that to register as a vendor on their portal they require a "refundable deposit of USD 14,800". Having read the variety of scams on our website would you believe that any fee you might send to these people might be returned to you?

Recommendation:

Just delete the e-mail.
