Most commodity scams are not clever.
They are simply never checked.

Built for the physical trade

Real ships. Real ports.
Real paper, checked.

01
The five gates

Company is real.

Is there a real company behind the email?

Registry and licence, sanctions screening, a company domain instead of Gmail, and no name that is one letter away from a real mill or refinery.

Is the money in a bank, or only in a PDF?

Funds confirmed bank to bank on a number you found yourself. MT799 "proof of funds", leased SBLCs and ICPOs dressed up as money are flagged on sight.

Has this paper been seen before?

Fake ICC rules, prices far below market, and any bill of lading, certificate or account already used in another deal, the pattern behind the biggest frauds.

Does the ship and the box exist?

Container numbers pass ISO 6346, ship numbers pass the IMO check, stock confirmed at source, and an inspector you appoint and pay.

Do you pay before you see proof?

Confirmed LC or licensed escrow only. Upfront fees, advance wires and crypto-only payment stop the deal.

Look-alike names

One letter off a real refinery is flagged as impersonation.

Price that is too good

Enter your own sourced benchmark. Offers far below it light up, because a price 35% under market is bait, not luck.

Cargo is real

Every box has
a number that proves itself.

Container and ship numbers carry built-in check digits. A forger typing a number from imagination fails ten times out of eleven, and the checker sees it instantly.

Inside the engine

Every container number
carries its own proof.

The last digit of a real container number is calculated from the first ten, under ISO 6346. Type any number and watch the math. A forger who guesses gets it wrong 10 times out of 11.

The shared registry · in development

It remembers every document.
Without ever storing one.

MSKU7720419BR→computing…

Each number is turned into a one-way code before it is stored. The code can be matched, never reversed: members see that a document was used before, not whose deal it was.

Deal Passport · in development

A report anyone
can verify in one scan.

Every completed check becomes a sealed passport. Send it to the other side; they scan the code and see it is genuine, current and unchanged.

Anatomy of a commodity scam

Six steps to money gone.
Stopped at step one.

01

The bait

ICUMSA 45 offered 30–40% below market, "direct from the mill".

Gate 3 · price far below benchmark
02

The face

A seller on Gmail whose name is one letter off a real refinery.

Gate 1 · webmail + look-alike name
03

The procedure

"Send ICPO and MT799 proof of funds, governed by ICC 600."

Gates 2 + 3 · fake rules, MT799 is not money
04

The proof

A "copy B/L" as proof of product, lifted from someone else's shipment.

Gates 3 + 4 · reused document, bad check digit
05

The fee

"Pay a USD 25,000 legal fee to release the documents."

Gate 5 · upfront fee before proof
06

The silence

Fee paid, phones off, no cargo. Unless you checked first.

Stopped at step 01
Same offer. Two ways to read it.

Drag to see
what the eye misses.

Without a check
  • ✓ Professional letterhead
  • ✓ "ICC 600 regulations"
  • ✓ MT799 proof of funds offered
  • ✓ Copy of bill of lading attached
  • ✓ Great price: USD 395/MT
  • ✓ Only a small legal fee first
"Looks like a real deal."
With Vanguard Verify
  • ✗ Seller on Gmail, name one letter off
  • ✗ ICC 600 regulations do not exist
  • ✗ MT799 commits no money
  • ✗ B/L already used in another deal
  • ✗ 34% below market: bait
  • ✗ Upfront fee: advance-fee fraud
Grade F. Do not send money.

Why this matters

The biggest frauds were not clever.
The same papers were used twice.

Qingdao · 2014

One stock of metal, many loans

Warehouse receipts for the same metal were pledged to several banks at once. Nobody could see the duplicates.

Hin Leong · Agritrade · 2020

Billions owed to banks

Two Singapore traders collapsed after documents and cargoes were presented to more than one lender.

The fix

A shared memory of documents

Every bill of lading, container, account and certificate fingerprinted once. When it appears in a second deal, everyone is warned, and nobody sees anyone else's documents.

What we're working on

Built so far.
And what comes next.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. The free checker runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste leaves your device.

Can it prove a deal is genuine?

No tool can. It finds red flags and tells you exactly what a person still has to confirm: the bank call, the site visit, the inspection. A clean result means no red flags in what you provided.

Who is it for?

Brokers introducing parties, buyers about to pay, sellers about to ship. Each side gets its own checklist.

What does it cost?

The checker is free. Paid plans with the shared registry, live checks and the Deal Passport are planned from USD 50 a month for brokers.

Which commodities?

Any bulk physical commodity. The rules are tuned for sugar, soybean products, edible oils, cement and clinker, coffee and grains.
