The pitch is an unexplained discount on refined product, often EN590 diesel or Jet A1, backed by allocation letters, tank numbers, or vessel names. The cargo is said to be in a terminal or on the water, and will be released after a fee or a document "activation." A real commercial discount can exist when quality, timing, location, or credit is verifiable. A markdown with no such reason, plus fees or papers that will not verify, is how the scam is built.
The people collecting the fee, deposit, or commission benefit. The product is often not theirs to sell. ICC's International Maritime Bureau has warned that spurious cargo-ownership documents are sold to unwitting buyers, often at a heavy discount or against an advance fee, sometimes recycling details from a genuine shipment.
The targets are buyers who want volume at a shortcut price, including intermediaries who think they can flip the cargo. IMB has noted that less experienced counterparties are more easily tempted, but also advises independent checks even on parties with trading records.
Confirm title and custody with the named terminal, vessel operator, or alleged supplier through a contact you obtain yourself, not from the offer pack. Verify any inspection paper with the issuer, as forged proof of product is a standard prop. If the only explanation for the price is secrecy or speed, stop. See the cluster overview.
