There appears to be misconceptions about the time frames from one procedure to the
next. I would like to clarify the correct time frames here. If an ICPO is issued to the
seller’s mandate a certain chain of events occur before a FCO are issued:
We do understand the buyers caution towards new mandates/ sellers due to previous
experiences and false pretensions of agents and “so called” mandate holders.
Because much fraud takes place in this industry, checks on the buyers must be
thorough. Timing is therefore out of our hands. Kindly note that for new
clients/buyers, unfamiliar to buyer, the time frames are much longer until such that
the end users are familiar with each other.

It is important to advise about the new situation to the potential buyer, because the direct sellers of commodities are now very few. From now on if an ICPO or an LOI is
issued and the product is not real, the buyer will be able to inform the FBI, ICC and INTERPOL.
Also after an FCO there should be a formal answer from the buyer. If there is no response from the buyer on a timely manner the buying company will be reported to the ICC
and if this action is repeated by other sellers it will be also reported to the INTERPOL for abuse of NCND, LOI and ICPO.
It's important to transmit this to all your clients that will work with providers that are members of ICC and other international organizations.
From now on the international codes will be enforced to exclude all intruders that send false information and for the people to know that sending an ICPO or an LOI can be
cataloged as a crime. This will be enforced starting on November 15,2008 after a meeting that was held between the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Interpol, FBI
and 1 member of the CIA.
The reason for these measurements is that the ICC and the industry, will not allow this market, which is a fundamental part of the world's economy, to be treated less than
seriously by buyers and sellers, nor will they let it collapse.
