Warning from "RussNeft"

Attention of counteragents and partners.

OAO NK  “RussNeft” reports about the reveald facts of fraud connected with illegal use of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ names in oil and oil products sales business.
Thus, a number of frauds send commercial offers on bitumen, mazut and other oil products sale by e-mail, allegedly  on behalf of top managers of “RussNeft” or from feigned authorized agents. Such offers were received by small-scale trading companies in India, China, Great Britain, Italy, Latin America.
To make the information contained in the offers convincing, the frauds use electronic addresses bearing certain similarity to the real ones:


 russneft@topservice.com,
 russneft.ru@execs.com
 sales@vareganneft.ru
 info@vareganneft.ru
 russneft_oao_nk@mail.ru
 russneft@mail.ru
 oao.russneft@accountant.com


Faked certificates and licenses of Department of Energy, certificates of Chamber of Commerce and Industry are also often used.


If the buyers express their intention to enter the transaction, they are offered to make prepayment on some assumed pretext. Immediately after the funds are received at their account the pseudo sellers disappear from the buyers’ field of vision. In a number of cases contacts with potential buyers are made on behalf of some people , who pretended to be the Company’s authorized agents for oil and oil products sales.
Besides, some frauds create web-sites of feigned oil companies using information from the official corporate web-site of OAO NK “Russneft” (www.russneft.ru).
