A ruinous scheme in which con artists lure unsuspecting investors into believing that their funds can be used to purchase securities (PRIME BANK GUARANTEES, DEBENTURES, TREASURIES, PROMISSORY NOTES, LETTERS OF CREDIT) at enormous DISCOUNT and sell them for equally enormous profits, typically during a forty-week turnaround.
ARBITRAGE, the purchase of FRESH-CUT SECURITIES from a CUTTING HOUSE which are then sold to the SECONDARY MARKET, FORFAITING, DISCOUNT HOUSES or DISCOUNT BANKS, SELF-LIQUIDATING LOANS, or a combination of all of these terms incorrectly used with wild abandon.
The financial instruments are always issued from a TOP WORLD BANK or PRIME BANK, and a great deal of secrecy is always paramount.

Weather: Role of weather in rice production is immense. Temperature, rainfall and soil moisture are the important parameters that determine the crop condition. Further, natural calamities can also affect crops. Markets keep watch of these developments…

Basmati rice was developed by Indian farmers over hundreds of years, but in September 1997 a Texas-based company, RiceTec Inc., won a controversial US patent for a cross-breed with American long-grain rice. This company was granted a patent to call the aromatic rice grown outside India `Basmati’. RiceTec was granted the patent on the basis of aroma, elongation of the grain on cooking and chalkiness. Many have felt that the patent should not be granted since basmati is Indian property.

Nigerian letter frauds combine the threat of impersonation fraud with a variation of an advance fee scheme in which a letter, mailed from Nigeria, offers the recipient the “opportunity” to share in a percentage of millions of dollars that the author, a self-proclaimed government official, is trying to transfer illegally out of Nigeria. The recipient is encouraged to send information to the author, such as blank letterhead stationery, bank name and account numbers and other identifying information using a facsimile number provided in the letter. Some of these letters have …

A Ponzi scheme is essentially an investment fraud wherein the operator promises high financial returns or dividends that are not available through traditional investments. Instead of investing victims’ funds, the operator pays “dividends” to initial investors using the principle amounts “invested” by subsequent investors. The scheme generally falls apart when the operator flees with all of the proceeds, or when a sufficient number of new investors cannot be found to allow the continued payment of “dividends.” 
This type of scheme is named after Charles Ponzi of Boston, Massachusetts, who operated an …

International fraud artists have invented an investment scheme that offers extremely high yields in a relatively short period of time. In this scheme, they purport to have access to “bank guarantees” which they can buy at a discount and sell at a premium. By reselling the “bank guarantees” several times, they claim to be able to produce exceptional returns on investment. For example, if $10 million worth of “bank guarantees” can be sold at a two percent profit on ten separate occasions, or “traunches,” the seller would receive a 20 percent profit. Such a scheme is often referred to as a “roll program.” To make their schemes more enticing, con artists often refer to the “guarantees” as being issued by the world’s “Prime Banks,” hence the term “Prime Bank Guarantees.” Other official sounding terms are also used such as “Prime Bank Notes” and “Prime Bank Debentures.” Legal documents associated with such schemes often require the victim to enter into nondisclosure and noncircumvention agreements, offer returns on investment in “a year and a day”, and claim to use forms required by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). In fact, the ICC has issued a warning to all potential investors that no such investments exist.

Legitimate letters of credit are never sold or offered as investments.

Legitimate letters of credit are issued by banks to ensure payment for goods shipped in connection with international trade. Payment on a letter of credit generally requires that the paying bank receive documentation certifying that the goods ordered have been shipped and are en route to their intended destination.
