SCO
Soft Corporate Offer — a seller-side offer document naming price, volume, and loading logistics.
An SCO (Soft Corporate Offer) is the seller's opening pricing document. It lists product grade, volume range, loading port, laycan window, pricing basis (e.g., Dated Brent +/- differential), and payment instrument (LC at sight, CAD, etc.).
A legitimate SCO is signed by an authorised seller representative, comes on letterhead, and references a specific tank allocation or terminal loading slot. Fake SCOs are a scam-circuit staple — they typically promise unusual volume at sub-market prices, reference "Russian origin" with "EU5 specs," and come without any port-agent or SGS contact.
