Fraud & Scam 

Fraud & Scams Alert -

With the growth of AI and criminal ingenuity which is allowing for criminals to create all kinds of fake identities, graphics and almost identical websites and company profiles has become extremely easy and more prevalent than ever.

For this reason, we invite you to ALWAYS VERIFY if the documents you receive by e-mail about our company, come from Us.

​

The only persons authorized to forward our Corporate info, documents, offers or contracts, have our Corporate mail.

​

NO ONE ELSE (not any intermediary or mandate or person outside our companies) has the title or permission to forward send any of our Corporate documents, unless He/she has a specific written Authorization from our company.

In any case, Ask to receive from the Sender, if not Corporate, our direct contracted representative, moreover, please always verify with Us if it is real or not.

​

In case you may have any doubt on the source or the authenticity of the documents you received with Our Name on it, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Us!

​

We do not publish our internal corporate email address.

 

Due to fraud, we will no longer issue any:

• storage agreements,

• charter agreements,

• POF, RWA’s MT199/799 to any unknown parties.

• We have internal procedures that are safe and direct and will only work in that fashion.  

 

We will ask for a proven trading history if you are not a known refinery or reseller.

 

NOTE: We reserve the right to take further action if we discover a real act of fraud through all the necessary legal steps. We hold all parties accountable for any fraud or failure to perform this includes any an all intermediaries.

 

Any petroleum sales and purchase agreement that requires any upfront payment will be rejected.

 This includes payments for any document endorsement, tank farm access fees, tank storage extension fees.

​

We will not work without copies of an official Quality and Quantity inspection company report. This should be from official inspection companies who work in the port of Rotterdam like SGS or Intertek accompanied with an injection report from the storage company. 

​

Companies that operate in the Port of Rotterdam are assigned a KVK number and chamber of commerce registration.  If a purported logistics company does not provide information on their registration documented with these organizations when engaging in a business relationship, then the logistics company is not legally registered to conduct business in Rotterdam. Agreements with logistics companies and petroleum Sellers that require any payment for Authorization to Verify (ATV) storage capacity, and Dip Test Authorization (DTA) endorsement should not be considered as they are often used as methods in fake transactions or scams that may put you at risk of theft.
