Joker brokers still snagging suckers

Today I got another mail from a perfectly nice-sounding guy who had been invited into a deal with a shady broker offering oil, which he was going to buy and then turn over to some shady client. I’m amazed that there are still thousands of people out there trying to do this sort of work every day. To make life easier for all of you, here is a flow chart to help you decide whether to accept a “mandate” from some supposed buyer and then use that to buy “oil” from a “refinery” you find on the internet.
