Fraud Warning & Document Verification
Last updated: October 2026
Beware of fraudulent offers. Criminals frequently use the names and logos of real energy companies to
circulate fake offers and documents. Please verify before you act or pay.
What GW Trading will never do
- Request advance fees, "processing fees", "registration fees" or deposits in order to issue an offer, contract or document.
- Send official correspondence from free email services (Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, etc.) or from domains other than @gwtradingllc.com.
- Ask you to pay into a personal bank account or into an account in a country unrelated to the transaction.
- Change bank details by email or messaging app without independent confirmation through a known contact.
- Sell commodities in its own name, issue "soft/full corporate offers" (SCO/FCO) or accept ICPOs. Any such document bearing the GW Trading name, or presented by "mandates" or brokers claiming to represent us, is not genuine.
Common warning signs
- Prices significantly below market, or "guaranteed" monthly volumes with no verifiable track record.
- Requests for Proof of Funds, bank letters or passport copies at the very first contact.
- Long chains of intermediaries, commission sheets or "buyer/seller mandates" claiming to represent GW Trading.
- Documents with spelling errors, incorrect company names, unusual signatures or pressure to act urgently.
How to verify a document or request
- Do not reply directly to the suspicious message and do not make any payment.
- Forward the email (with full headers if possible) and any attachments to [email protected] with the subject "Document verification request".
- Where possible, confirm by calling a contact you already know at GW Trading — never a number taken from the suspicious document.
We will confirm whether the document or communication is genuine. If you have been the victim of fraud, we also recommend reporting it to your bank immediately and to the authorities (in the United States, the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov).
