We have no way of knowing if the company is real or not, but what I can tell you is that the people you are dealing with are scammers and have either made up the company or stolen the identity of a real company.

The domain oao-germes-moscow.ru was only registered in October last year.

You should never need to pay a fee to do business with someone.

Why would a company ask you to transfer money to an account in the name of a totally different company.

if you have to ask if a fraudulent "dealer, mandate, whatever you want to call it" obvious scammer like that is real or not, then you should be getting out of the oil trading market immediately. There are many more scammers than real sellers in that industry, and you don't seem to know the first things about "due diligence". You will lose lots of money before you make any.

Looks like a Russian Oil scam to me . How did you find this company ? Was it through email solicitation ? Or have you met with them and viewed the product ?

Please post any emails and / or links to any adverts on the trade boards so we can look at them .

And for only one year. Scam sites are very often registered for only one year.

From the website:
За 2013 год мы заметно увеличила свою активность в зарубежных проектах — в настоящее время Компания осуществляет свою деятельность в Беларуси, Украине, Казахстане, Туркменистане, Китае, Вьетнаме, Монголии, Германии, Италии, Норвегии, Алжире, Бразилии, Канаде, Венесуэле, ОАЭ и Армении.
In 2013 it didn't exist. Four months is not enough time for a company to expand into 17 countries in Eurasia, North America, and Africa.
125424, г. Москва, ул. Волоколамское шоссе, 79, Российская Федерация.
I'm not an expert on Russian addresses, and I have seen real streets with names like Longstreet Drive, but "улица Волоколамское шоссе" (Volokolam Highway Street) strikes me as redundant.

If your going to be buying oil and gas than I suggest that you start using sites that deal with the import / export of that product . Your scammer has been blacklisted on petro finder since November 2015 . This is part of the " Due Diligence" process , Hillbilly was referring to .

Mod Note: Please note that this post was made by the scammer himself in order to try and salvage his scam.

It has been left here for people to see how devious these thieves can be!


I have successfully done business with this company. I wonder why people come in here to post un-imaginary comments.

Admin please investigate and delete this post.

Did you just happen to Google this company that you had successful business? I doubt that . Kind of risky for scammers to come here :bondage:
