Anglo American Platinum Limited – Supplier Scam Warning
17 November, 2016
Anglo American Platinum wishes to alert suppliers of a scam in which fraudsters pretending to represent Anglo American Platinum, or one of its operations, attempt to secure industrial products via a fraudulent Request for Quotations (RFQ). The fraud is typically conducted through an email, which appears to come from Anglo American Platinum, confirming a false order and noting that payment will be made once the products are delivered and inspected, following which the scammers intercept and steal the order.
The company has received increased reports of such fraudulent activity and is partnering with authorities, including the South African Police Service and The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, to investigate.
If you suspect to have received a fraudulent RFQ, please e-mail Vicky Mollett on: [email protected].
