Signum Services would like to update Members on fraudulent activity in relation to bogus cargo.
These frauds always emanate from Turkey and involve criminals purporting to be ship brokers and port agents. We have noted an increase of these fraudulent crimes in the last few months.The nature of the frauds are that non-existent cargo is offered to ship owners / managers at attractive rates on the general market. The type of cargo offered varies but the favourites are cement, boilers and phosphate.
