Suspected Russian scams Page 12


Question submitted to us;

Quote:
Is this company legit? Or at least the website?

I was scammed by this individual (I think) Vasiliy Ivanovich chemi.enterprisesazot@mail.ru and I was dumb enough to give my buyers bank details, but when he was asking for transferable LC, I got suspicious.
Can you please advise?

Thank you

Well no real oil company uses a free email address, especially one chosen to match their supposed company name, such as: vac-chemi.enterprisesazot@mail.ru

Well if the website www.nvexp.ru is not legitimate, obviously neither is the company, and they are both almost certainly fraudulent. Look at the registration of the website domain:

domain: NVEXP.RU
nserver: ns1.nvexp.ru. 184.22.4.234
nserver: ns2.nvexp.ru. 184.22.4.235

So a real oil company that has been in business for what...3 weeks? I would suggest that you close your bank account as a precautionary measure. Additionally, if you are going to be in this business you will have to much more wary of scammers than you have so far proven to be. There are easily more scammers than real sellers.

That fax number belongs to a medical clinic and the content of onako-oil.ru was copied from this Kazakhstan company

The real OAO Onako is a subsidiary of TNK BP and like all major oil companies, BP does not go searching for buyers on Alibaba, or use so-called mandate to do it for them.

The real Novokuibyshevsk refinery belongs to Rosneft and they don't sell their oil on the Internet nor do they use mandates, all such offers are scams, something that's clearly stated in the links mentioned by Mysteryquest.

There are numerous ways you can lose your money. Too many for use to go into here. Kindly read the links that Poirot gave you to read. Remember, we are not a due diligence company, just volunteers. Please read:Due Diligence and Request for Legitimate Businesses If you are going to engage in international trade we can only hope that you have the knowledge to fend for yourself or the wherewithal to contract with a due diligence firm that will help you avoid getting scammed, because there are many more scammers in this business than real players.

We don't analyze procedures, we deal strictly with red flags indicating possible scams and vankorneft.com is a scam. There is some information on how scammers use bank instruments fraudulently, you will find it on a link listed on the page I suggested... www.russian-oil-scam.tk and www.scamwebsites.tk  please read it
Scammers lie continually. The scam can take many shapes but trust me, if you go through with it, you will loose your money one way or another.

Beware of Russian commodity sellers who use anonymous contact details such as mobile phones and free webmail addresses, specially if they claim to be mandated by major oil companies, that amounts to major red flags indicating a probable scam.

Please help, is this scam or no?

Hello,

I asked before but did not get any reply on below web sites:

1) Dai Biao Holdings Limited, american with I.B.C. No. 635792 is giving SCO of D2 and JP54 on behalf of Petrol Group SA.
Their website is http://www.dai-biao.com/
And web site of Petrol Group is http://www.petrol-group.com/eng/home.html

2) http://international.worech.com offering crude oil from Saudi Arabia via a certain prince that I could not even find name of the prince on google.

Thank you

PS: I noted already the instructions from your websites on how to check if it's scam or not; but I still need your help to identify those websites.
   
If you had followed the instructions you should have found some issues.

From what I see www.dai-biao.com is a holding web page, plays background (c)rap music, and has nothing to do with petroleum.

Warech International appear to have been around for some time:

Clauses Seven and Eleven of OIL REFINERY (SELLER) TRADE PROCEDURES

Hello Admin and fellow members.

I did my due diligence by reading all the warnings here and even on Alibaba for my first foray into petroleum products. I researched the agents background, made sure the domain name registrant (registered for about seven years, no complaint against the individual online with arbitrary Google searches) matches the name on the 411 info. Everything tallies. I got a soft offer which seems okay, but I am not comfortable with clauses seven and eleven of the procedure below. I need your eagle and sharp eyes to look this over (and any other process that is not right). I have pasted as sent to me.

If typos are warning flags to look out for, let me know

@Canproj

Your due diligence needs to include looking up information about the actual company. A very simple search of the Washington Secretary of State: Corporations Division would tell you the company does not exist.

Also, the address is a private residence, not an office building.

Agyel & Associated formed 23 years ago, as a private company
The simple website has been around since 2005, but based on the above, I think it's totally fake.

They don't appear to know where they are located either as the domain registration is a different address:-

So, what's it gonna be?

3123 N. E. Everett Street, Maple Valley, WA 97232, US

I can not find this address via Google Maps, even "Everett Street, Maple Valley, WA" comes up with nothing.

Thank you all! You found what I did not see.

Confusing address (Changeable use of North and South in the domain info, as well as the actual address on the website)

Fictitious company.

I was sort of pardonable on the typos and spellings, but now I realize there should be no excuses whatsoever.

I am definitely not proceeding.

Thanks again.

No real government agency anywhere has no website and uses free email addresses chosen to match their supposed company name.

No real government agency uses a pre-paid mobile phone which doubles as their fax line! Real government agencies have too many employees to have one phone and not have a dedicated fax line.

Here's a classic advance fee fraud used in Russian oil scams
Quote:
"Regarding the advance payment to obtain the Transaction Passport of the Contract , it is a payment made to the relevant authorities in Russia which are in charge of endorsing the buyer' purchase approval code which comes along in the Transaction Passport of the Contract. and to release the act of transfer deeds number to the seller before the contract can be lodged with the bank.

Any Legitimate exporting company must pass through this process after legalizing and registering the Contract. The payment for the endorsements is being made from the Legal department of our seller company to the various authorities in charge upon receiving the payment from the buyer.

The payment is deducted from the first shipment L/C value when the Buyer's bank is construing the L/C to the Seller's bank.

Before the beginning of this year, our seller pays this fees by themselves but due to the bad experiences they had from some companies that are not real buyers they enacted the policy of any intending purchaser must make payment upfront to obtain the Transaction Passport of the Contract and when their bank is able to come up with a fully funded L/C by MT700, the advance payment will be deducted from the shipment value."

Both of these websites were put up by scammers for non-existent companies.

Please read:www.russian-oil-scam.tk and www.scamwebsites.tk  which will help you identify the websites of the many scammers in this field.

I do not personally know of any resourcing reputable dealers or any body which does that though the "Russian Oil Scam" article should help you. Looking at the domain registration of the website will tell you a scam website very quickly and any company that does not have a website are scammers.

We do not do due diligence. We look for red flags. Please read:http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/...ead.php?t=9822

magnat-rdrefinery,ru

this russian refinery is starting to fit the scam patterns.'

the domain was registered in australia on oct 11, 2011 for one year.
no owner is listed.

but the listed phone number does trace back to moscow and is not a cell phone.

does anyone have any more information on this 'refinery'

one of our domestic oil friends said he doesn't understand how a refinery can take new orders for delivery in a month since their supply is usually contracted for a period time and they usually have customer contracts to account for the expected supply.
his comment was they would not have excess capacity to fill a tanker.
would this apply to the russians as well.

The "refinery" is four months old? How strange considering the text of the website states: "Magnat-RD in the oil market since 1994. " How did this company become "One the leader of the Russian oil industry and one of the largest public oil and gas companies in the Russian Federation." in four months? The website and "company" were created by a scammer. Another clue, real companies have dedicated fax lines, not one number for both. The phone number is most likely a VOIP which would show up as a land line.

Aside from VoIP's, the landline numbers posted are often fake or belong to unrelated entities that speak only Russian knowing that if a victim calls, they'll think they spoke to a uni-lingual refinery employee and use the mobile number or email address to reach the right party (scammer).

"The company was founded in the year 2001." 

Strange yet their website was only set up some 8 months ago?

We hold an industry-leading inventory of oil and gas resources. We are one of the prominent marketers of petroleum products. 

And they accomplished all this in 8 months?

The website and company were created by scammers!

Considering that there is no longer a website and their registration information shows it was recently set up, it would be fair to say you're in contact with scammers.

What is the website and/or email address and telephone number for "Jurgens Consulting International." Just a company name is not much use.

Any "company" using a free email address which is chosen to match its "company" name such as:exportingall.europe@gmail.com is always a scam. Please read: Identifying Obvious Scammers and Their Websites

Of course, you don't pay any money until you get your product. Could you please tell us more about the scam? Do they want money for some imaginary tax or fee or just for the oil?

www.omk-ecometal.ru is an obvious fraud. Using the information in Identifying Obvious Scammers and Their Websites you should be able to figure it out immediately. The domain registration shows the company's website was only created February 1, 2012, a month ago! Obviously its fake, as no real oil company would have been created in so short a time, not to mention that they have a copyright of 2000!

Their company domain was registered on February 20, 2004 so they appear to be legitimate. Of course, you could be dealing with scammers who are impersonating the company. Make sure that whoever you are dealing with is not using a free email address for starters and that whatever contact information they are using matches that of the company. We are not a due diligence company and anyone engaged in oil trading trade should have the services of one considering all the scammers out there.

Thanks for the reply. We found them on a trading site and they said that they have tons of rubber scraps. We even spoke via phone! They send us documents and we made a contract with mail. We send them %20 payment and they send two trucks, afterwards we pay the rest %80. That was the deal. We said ok and today they called us about the payment because we were two days late with it. But the number was odd, it was an +447 number and we could not call back. Afterwards we made a little research and find out this forum and other about Taveks and their scams. Then we discovered that even the web page they gave us (http://rus-carrier.com/road.html) its was created only two months ago (which we get in contact with them). The other phone numbers and bank accounts are the exactly like the ones on the page 32. Of course we were shocked and angry to them and wrote them immediatly about that they are fake and that we cut all our ties. But they dont give up harassing us. They keep saying that we made a contract, we must pay, they called the embasarry, they are not fake etc. etc.
And now they posting on trading sites that we are the fake ones!! They are really unbelievable and have no shame. Like I said, stay away from TAVEKS CO. RUSSIA, SERGEY BALOV! THEY ARE ALL FRAUD and now their are triyng to frame us...

Thank you for your prompt reply and attention.

The OMK - EcoMetal company imitates another legitimate company, the OMK, with the same company sign.

Please check their site: http://www.omk.ru/en

They even use the same management team on their fake website. Should we inform the legitimate company?

As for the Intersteel, I think they are legitimate as we were invited to do business in Russia, they don't do business over the phone or internet.

Again, I appreciate your help. I know you volunteer for this, but this is such a great service.

God Bless

Omega Shipping Company is indeed fake. In fact, that very same website, under different names, have been used by scammers before as you have noticed.

What is the website of the company you dealt with? Any company that doesn't have a website, is a scammer or should be treated as one. It's that simple. Please list the telephone numbers they were using. As you already know any +44 70 number is a scam. Scammers use it pretend to be in the UK. Please read: Telephone Numbers that start with +4470, +44(0)70 or +44070 are not in the United Kingdom!

Obviously any contact with a scammer or for a non-existent is void. You were smart to do some research. What bank account did you pay to? Of course the scammers will not give up. Please also read: Russian Oil Company Scam Of

@ jpsmith1985 Please post the +44 70 number that Taveks Co. called you from. It's important to warn others.

re: magnat-rd again

refer to page 45 messages 895-897.

the latest in this continuing saga is that the 'independent' brokers, who are israelis, want to take the asian buyer to russia to inspect the refinery.

what is the game here?

asian buyer is real anxious for delivery and has asked us to find legitimate sellers.
but he cannot forgo the possibility that this deal might deliver.

a real mess since all the indicators of scam are present.
so what is there to inspect in russia.

Sure,
First he called us from normal Russian code tel. numbers but the last day he called us from thoose weird numbers.
The phone number was "+442030513739" and the caller was "Sergey Balov" from Russia. He called us from this number but we could not call him back. Of course this made us suspicious and after a little research we found the truth.

Can you help if this company and person is real in oil business? thanks in advance.
This company is using the name of McAngus Robert (Robert McAngus) and his passport number without permission they also state in an oil contract we have viewed QUOTE "The company, TOP TOWER GROUP LTD, the company legally represented by Robert McAngus acting on the basis of statute, hereinafter referred to as “Seller” on one side and VENOIL TRADERS, S.A. & PARTNERS, represented by its CEO Francisco Villasmil, hereinafter referred to as “Buyer” on the other hand, have concluded this Contract as follows" UNQUOTE does not have any permission or legal authority to utilize his name in any way or manner and therefore Top Tower and OAO Ocean pacific are committing an act of fraud.
