Born from Real Experience
with Turkish Trade Fraud
Verify Turk was not built in a boardroom. It was born out of first-hand experience. Modulus Metal, a Turkey-based metal industry company with deep roots in international trade, witnessed first-hand the growing wave of fraud and scams targeting foreign buyers dealing with Turkish companies.
Over time, it became clear there was a serious gap: international buyers had no reliable, independent, and fast way to verify a Turkish company before making an advance payment or signing a contract. Fraudulent suppliers, ghost companies, and forged certifications were — and continue to be — a major threat to importers, wholesalers, and project managers worldwide.
Seeing this unmet need, Modulus Metal made a decision: use its own on-ground expertise, legal knowledge, and network in Turkey to help foreign companies buy and trade in Turkey with confidence. The result is Verify Turk — a dedicated company verification and anti-fraud service in Turkey (Türkiye), offering independent checks with no conflict of interest.
Our team in Ankara brings together legal professionals, trade specialists, and business investigators with deep knowledge of Turkish commercial law, government registries, and fraud patterns commonly used against international buyers. Verify Turk serves clients from over 20 countries with one mission: Verify Before You Trust.
Common Fraud Risks When Buying from Turkey
Fake Turkish suppliers request a deposit, then disappear. This is the most reported fraud type affecting international buyers in Turkey.
Companies registered in Turkish Trade Registry with no real office, no staff, and no actual operations — only a bank account.
ISO certificates, quality reports, and export documents are routinely forged by fraudulent Turkish suppliers to win contracts.
Fraudsters impersonate legitimate Turkish companies, using similar names, copied websites, and cloned documents to deceive buyers.
