Report a problem

Most trade scams follow the same few patterns. Six habits keep you and your buyers safe:

  1. Never pay to receive documents.No fee for offers, contracts, “proof of product”, licences or storage. Anyone who asks first is a warning sign.
  2. Too cheap is a warning.Compare the price with the world price shown on the product page. Big discounts on fuel, metals or sugar are the classic scam.
  3. Confirm bank details by phone.Before the first payment and after any change. Pay company accounts only, never personal ones.
  4. Start small, inspect the goods.A trial order and an inspection company (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek) at the loading port protect both sides.
  5. Keep the talk on Global Trade Plaza.Messages here give you a record if something goes wrong.
  6. Something feels wrong? Tell us.Report a suspicious buyer or seller from Feedback & complaints and our team will look at it.

Rules for every document: offers and requests say clearly that they are not binding; bank details appear only on seller invoices, never on purchase orders; no phone numbers, emails or links; we never make bank guarantees, proof of funds or stamps. Sign and stamp the printed copy yourself.
