We enjoy being legitimate and clean - please verify all documents with us

It was exactly a month ago before this update - an attractive offer was made in our name and linked to one of the biggest Russian majors we had never worked with. We are one of the rare companies able to provide a "face" with completely verifiable setting and aiming to be trustworthy and known for that. Apparently some parties who cannot show their own face do like to try and borrow ours. We ask all parties to check with us if anything needs to be verified and avoid any claims from individuals operating from sources where mail accounts cannot be verified like Yahoo, Gmail and others. Consistently rising oil prices provide enormous amounts of incentives for fraudulent behavior and we aim to protect all parties from such. If unsure of any document you encounter bearing our name or a contact attempt being made in our name, please verify with us as we are happy to assist and can help you avoid parties who appear to be legitimate but are not or may jeopardize your activities.

This time it was a case of stolen information where the attempt was to embarrass us and fraud a buyer to assume Advanced Business Management Ltd had officially passed on some information and initiate a negotiation in our name. The reader can guess the rest - there were financial interests involved which were the driver for this kind of behavior.

While we find some of this entertaining as some of these parties attempting fraud possess enough intelligence to read and write and use different software programs to build up documents and communications looking very official - we also find it very discomforting as we carry a concern for our genuine collaborates who attempt to sell a real product for real money or purchase the real product with real money.

The market consists of transactions where billions of dollars change hands. Fraudulent parties often think that the parties involved in such large transactions can afford to lose some of their financial strength as they have so much and they will not be truly hurt by it.

While this may be technically true and gigantic companies probably don't fall and crumble - this is only an excuse to divert from carrying one's own responsibility of living up to certain ethics. At Advanced we err as do all parties but as long as the mistakes are human and done without purposeful twisting and turning, we like to continue collaboration.

Should there be a case of any kind of purposeful deviation from anything legitimate or immoral - we discontinue collaboration and providing our services and do not wish this to come as a surprise.
