We were motivated in writing this blog about commodities scams due to a recent incident we experience which lead to no monetary loses, just valuable time lost. Here is a scenario that is being practice by scam artist in the commodities business.
They will contact you via Linkedin, Skype or any other social media available where your contact information is available. The contact begins as follow, a seller's representative reaches out to you as an example, seller for sugar, letting you know prices, sample contracts and procedures of seller. Then a day later, a buyer contacts you regarding a request for sugar. You establish a communication between seller and buyer. Then the seller responds very professional to your questions and things are running smooth (so you will think), then when the buyer receives a draft contract, the buyer signs and sends it to you. At this point you may be thinking, wow, I'm about to close on this big sugar deal with a big commission. Then the buyer advices you they need the contract by Wednesday of that week due to some traveling of the seller in which he needs to open up the letter of credit before departing. Then you advice the seller that buyer needs contract no later than Wednesday. The seller advices you that the contract cannot be done until Friday, but he is going to call the seller's office that operates in Italy and Brussels. Once he contacts the seller's office he manages to speak with the secretary in which he has negotiated a deal with her. The deal is, if she receives 300 Euros by the end of the day, she will push the contract and she will send it before Wednesday. The seller's representative will then ask you to split the fee of the 300 Euros, 150/150 Euros each. This is where they try to scam you, they want you to think that you are about close this big deal, with lots of commissions and 150 Euros is nothing and he's being helpful by paying half of the cost with you. The companies that are being use are the following; Lampinton, Ms. Giovanna Pointner (Bank's representative), Credit Agricole is one of the banks mentioned on the ICPO, Mr. Cedric Harmeling as buyer, Elisa Klein from Germany as the buyer's representative, Leon Bouquist claims he has 8 years in the sugar business.
We hope this message gets distribute to all our commodities members in Linkedin and everywhere we meet in order to stop these guys from scamming others that may not be aware of them.

Crude oil, will it remain at the current levels?
Interesting how the crude oil market has maintained itself at these levels $75-80, can we see an upside to this in the near future? The Wall Street Journal mentioned the following, "Crude oil inventories may drop by 300,000 barrels, while gasoline stockpiles are seen rising by the same volume. Refiners are expected to raise their utilization rate by 0.2 percentage point to 80.5% of capacity." The economy looks like has take a step towards recovery and this is helping the industry maintain the upward momentum. I truly believe if this market maintains, then our industry will open up with many opportunities in the crude, gasoline and natural gas business. This videos talks about how the momentum of winter's temperature has help the commodities.
