Information about Fraud and Scam attempts

 

Fraudulent use of CEVA’s name and logo to promote frauds and scams

CEVA Logistics’s name and logo are falsely used to promote frauds and scams. This correspondence typically includes illegitimate use of the CEVA logo, CEVA letterhead, signatures and names of CEVA officials and of CEVA teams and departments. In some cases, fake websites impersonating CEVA are used for fraudulent purposes.

These frauds and scams aim to obtain money (directly or through the request for personal details e.g., identity card, bank account details, etc.) from individuals or companies. The target of these frauds and scams are often investors who incurred financial losses.

All references to CEVA Logistics or its employees and/or members of its stakeholder groups in this kind of communication are false and have been made without CEVA’s knowledge or consent.

 

How to identify this type of fraud

Please be aware of these common warning signs of a scam to help you identify and prevent this type of fraud:

• Urgent requests for money or placing security deposits (guarantee) in return for the tender award.
• Requests for your personal and financial information.
• Misspelled/wrong website or email addresses, like:
  • cevalogistics-eu.com
  • cevalogistics-freight.com
  • mycevamanagement
  • cevalogistics.com.co
• A non-CEVA domain, like Hotmail, Gmail, or Yahoo for example. 
• Spelling and grammatical errors, or excessive capitalization and exclamation points.
• Claims that the business partners have won a CEVA tender.
• Contact established through non-corporate applications such as WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram etc.

 

Stay safe and be vigilant.

In order to protect yourself against these unauthorized communications, CEVA Logistics advises you to check whether the e-mail received is genuine and inform your superior in case of suspicious e-mails.
