Fuel Offer Scam Check

Paste an SCO, FCO, LOI or ICPO, answer a short checklist, or both. You'll get a 0–100 risk score and the specific red flags found. Free, no login.

Informational only, not legal or compliance advice. The check uses pattern matching built from public fraud warnings and info2fuel's experience. A low score does not mean an offer is genuine, and a high score does not prove fraud. Always verify the company, the terminal and the documents independently. Free to use. To see results, enter your name and email and acknowledge the Scam Check success fee: if you close a deal on an offer you checked here, you pay info2fuel 2% of the commission you earn on it. There is no other charge. Storage: We store each check (reference ID, date and time, your name and email, and the offer text and result) so we can give you a record of it and administer the Scam Check success fee. We don't publish it or share it with the offer's sender. Results are shown on this page; we don't email them automatically.

1. Paste the offer text (optional)

2. Offered price (optional)

3. Quick checklist (optional)

Answer what you know. Leave the rest blank.

  • Has anyone asked you to pay anything (fees, storage, injection, documents, licences) before you receive product or verifiable documents?
  • Is the procedure TTT/TTO (tank-to-tank / tank take-over) with a 'dip test', where your side pays storage or injection?
  • Is the price more than 10% below the public benchmark? (Use the price sanity check below if unsure.)
  • Does the seller use a free email (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook) or only WhatsApp/Telegram?
  • Is the person a 'mandate' or 'facilitator', or is there a chain of intermediaries between you and the company that owns the product?
  • Does the offer mention Russian origin, GOST specs, JP54, 'Virgin D6' or 'fresh cut' product?
  • Will they only show proof of product after you show proof of funds or issue a bank instrument (MT760/SBLC)?
  • Do they claim a direct allocation or mandate from a national oil company (Aramco, NNPC, Sonangol, Rosneft, etc.)?
  • Does one offer sheet list many unrelated products (diesel, jet, crude, LPG, fuel oil, urea...)?
  • Are you unable to verify the seller in an official company register and confirm with the named terminal or refinery that they are a customer?

What the check looks for

Procedure traps

TTT/TTO "dip test then pay", tank storage receipts, injection and DTA/ATV fees, POP only after your bank instrument, MT760/MT103-first chains.

Money before product

Upfront, registration, document, licence, storage or "ministry" fees. Legitimate sellers are paid against product and shipping documents.

Too good to be true

Prices far below the public EIA benchmark, double-digit discounts to Platts, very large 12-month volumes from unknown sellers.

Copied templates

JP54 (not a real product), "D2 GOST 305-82", "Virgin D6", REBCO, "fresh cut" and NOC "allocation" claims, withdrawn Incoterms (DES/DDU), every product on one sheet.

Who's really selling

Free email domains, WhatsApp-only contact, mandate and facilitator chains, no refinery or terminal named.

Compliance exposure

Russian origin and refiners, Iran, Venezuela/PdVSA, Syria, North Korea. These need specialist sanctions advice before anything else.
