Russia Fraud Cases Present Serious Risk for Business
Moscow private investigators normally disagree on just about everything from the best methods to prevent scams and fraud, to the best investigative techniques, to the country's image and transparency. This year, however, Russian private investigators seem to agree on one issue. Risk for business fraud and scams in Russia is at high levels and investigators and international business consultants strongly advise background checks and due diligence to minimize the risk. There have been too cases of fraud.
Russia's economy has been hit hard after the global economic crisis, and the country's oil revenue has been cut dramatically due to the fall in crude oil prices and the decrease in consumption by importing countries. Crude oil has been making a comeback, but Moscow residents are still struggling with the post crude oil and credit boom that turned Moscow into the world's most expensive metropolis. International investment is down, and what remains is a high risk environment lacking political and economic transparency, and lots of inefficiency. The increase in scams and fraud has made international business more difficult, and Russia private investigators are increasingly being used for due diligence.
The most common form of business fraud in Russia is advance fee fraud, and the fees can come in the form of advance lines of credit, pre-payment for goods or services, and down payments, shipping fees, or minimim initial investments. Scammers are increasingly using complex methods to convince their business partners, including meetings in business facilities, government and corporate document, official ID and issued passports.
International business deals or foreign investment in Russia is a high risk venture, plain and simple. Professional private investigators and business consultants say that doing business without a Russia background check or due diligence to verify the parties involved can be a costly learning lesson. For criminals, the increase in people seeking opportunity in Eastern Europe has provided a unique and profitable hunting ground, and law enforcement has been slow to respond to the complaints and court filings.
Are there business opportunities in Russia? Absolutely. The advisory from Moscow private investigators to proceed with extra caution is good advise. Be safe. Be skeptical and verify.
Best of luck,

How Russia Became a Market Economy $3.95 The breakup of the Soviet Union and the attempted transformation of Russia into a democracy and a market economy constitute one of the most significant events of our time. A transformation could hardly be greater, yet judgments vary from failure to substantial achievement. This book clarifies that Russia has actually become a market economy. Anders slund provides the most detailed and insightful assessment to date of the Russian transformation from a socialist economy to a market economy. His account covers the period from the formation of the Russian reform government in November 1991 through the autumn of 1994. He discusses the preconditions of economic reform, the formation of a reform program, relations with other former Soviet republics, liberalization, macroeconomic stabilization, and privatization. The final chapter evaluates the transformation. As a longtime specialist on the Soviet economy and an economic adviser to the Russian government during most of this period, slund analyzes the original intentions of the government, what they were able to accomplish, and why they fell short. The book's general conclusion is that the greater the speed, consistency, and determination, the more impressive the results. The main threat to the reform process was the resistance from the state enterprise managers, who wanted to enrich themselves at the expense of the state. The reformers could only win if they acted swiftly and firmly. According to slund, the Russian transformation has not been too quick, as many maintain, but rather too slow. |
