Over recent weeks, Shipping Container companies have been the latest target for scamming websites and phishing.

During COVID, market prices have increased and continue to do so. As a lot of our trading is now carried out online due to COVID restrictions, we want to ensure you do not fall victim to one of these fraudulent websites.

Please continue reading to discover how to identify a potential Scam website or an attempt at Phishing (Phishing is a type of attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers, etc.)

Here are a few tips to keep you safe online:

Take notice of prices! Scam websites will have extremely low rates for purchasing/hiring containers. Their pricing will be well below the current market prices
Do not provide sensitive personal information (like usernames and passwords) over email.
Watch for email senders that use suspicious or misleading domain names
Be wary if contact information is limited to a mobile phone without a landline and email
Ask for proof of ownership and the location of the depot where containers are stored

Scam websites will use an email address that can be easily identified as a scam email by following the below steps:

Reputable, registered businesses will not use an email address with a domain of “@gmail.com” OR @hotmail.com”, etc.
Reputable, registered businesses will not use a website address such as: tigercontainersau@gmail.com
Email body will contain grammatical and spelling errors.

If you cannot tell if an email/website is legitimate or not, please cross reference business details such as: ABN/ACN, business number, address, etc.
Always call the business to confirm details.
