We need to mention Two points that need to be clarified as Most Buyers feel is a scam:
1- There is a fee of USD$27,860 payable to the Legal Chamber affiliated to the Ministry of Energy and the Russian Chamber of Commerce. This amount Must be paid which is for Contracts
must be legalized and Notarized . the Buyer will get an Official Invoice regarding that. This requirement been made in order to eradicate Scams where the Ministry because of the
Notarization Protects the End Buyer from Fake Sellers & as well Protects the End Buyer from REAL Sellers when the Refinery does not do its Job in a timely manner.
2- There is a Escrow of 0.1% of the value of the First shipment. This is so because some End Buyers fail to commit to their contract & do not pay when the deal is intilaized
where the seller/refinery bare costs of transportation of the Oil/Petroleum from the refinery to the Port of Loading. Most Buyers also are scared of Russian Escrow Companies. So the
seller/refinery Consortium accepts that the Escrow can be the End Buyer's Bank.
