Storage spoofing is the sale of storage capacity or inventory that is not at the named terminal. The offer claims refined product is already in tanks, often in a major port, and can be transferred after a storage, tank-extension, or access fee. Websites, invoices, and tank numbers are forged or copied from real operators.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority and VOTOB, the Association of Dutch Tank Storage Companies, describe this directly. Criminals offer goods through fake sites that impersonate known tank storage companies. Victims include international traders who pay into non-existent deals, and legitimate terminal companies whose names are misused. In some cases, tank trucks have arrived to collect product that was never there.
The operators of the fake sites, and the accounts that collect the facilitation invoices, benefit. The targets are buyers hunting discount petroleum who cannot, or will not, confirm the tank with the real terminal. This is not limited to novices. The port authority's own account includes international traders, and trucks sent to the gate.
Contact the terminal operator through its official website or switchboard and ask whether the tank, contract, and inventory exist. Do not use email addresses, phone numbers, or "port" forms supplied in the offer. A cloned operator identity is part of the same method. If custody cannot be confirmed, the discount is irrelevant. More patterns are in the cluster overview.
