Fraud Warning – IRC warns against fraudulent attempts

An attempt to commit fraudulent actions against LLC KS GOK

It has come to our attention that in October 2020, an unidentified group of people attempted to commit a fraud against LLC KS GOK, IRC’s Russian subsidiary representing the K&S mine. The fraudsters, pretended to be representatives of LLC KS GOK, entered into a fictitious sale and purchase agreement for the sale of iron ore products by LLC KS GOK to a Chinese entity. The fraudsters used “Konstantin Vasilyevich Zhevago” and “Alexey Vladimirovich Gorb” as the names of contact persons, and used an email address of “postmaster@ksgok.ru” The fraudulent act was discovered timely and LLC KS GOK has not suffered any damages. IRC is reporting the incident to the relevant law enforcement authorities.

We wish to clarify that “Konstantin Vasilyevich Zhevago” and “Alexey Vladimirovich Gorb” are not connected to LLC KS GOK, and that postmaster@ksgok.ru is an incorrect email address of LLC KS GOK.
