Have you heard of Nkemchi Petroleum?

By

I picked this up on the www.fraudalert.co.za web site:

I am concerned about a business supposedly based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and supposedly selling petrochemical products.

My red flag concerns are as follows:

  • I am resident in PE and active in the business sector and have never heard of Nkemchi Petroleum.
  • Their web site looks dodgy to me.
  • Their web site header image is certainly NOT of the Port Elizabeth Harbour.
  • They have spelt Theescombe (the suburb they say they are situated in ) wrong.
  • The street number is incorrect – the Lake Farm Road only has ERF numbers.
  • The contact number goes straight to a voice message and I was not phoned back.
  • The Fax Number for Nkemchi Petroleum is to a voice and the knuckle dragger who answered the phone says he is in the North West Province.
  • No 041 contact numbers
  • Why register a SA based company using these guys: http://www.cronon.net/
  • See the web site here: http://www.nkemchipetroleum.com/
  • The people who manage the Port Elizabeth Tank Farm are SHELL
  • To my knowledge SA companies are either Pty Ltd or Ltd and NOT just Pty
  • Content on the Nkemchi Petroleum is exactly the same as on this site: http://www.naukrinews.com/jobs.aspx?jobID=3003111624 – another dodgy sounding job advert.

Is Nkemchi Petroleum legit?
