Protect your data - Phishing warning

At Allseas Global we want to provide you with the most simple, reliable and safe solutions to run your business and deliver on your promises. Criminal activities are of great concern to us and while we take our precautions we unfortunately have become aware of phishing attempts made from emails appearing to originate from ‘@allseasglobal.com.’

Internet criminal offenses often come in the form of phishing which is theft of personal information usually for a financial gain and installation of malicious software such as virus and can cause great damage to the victim.

We urge all our customers to carefully consider the information you share on the internet and through email correspondence. Allseas Global will never ask for personal information including bank account, credit card number or other financial data through email. We will also never send program installation files such as .exe.

Hints to avoid phishing:

By checking the sender field carefully, you can often see an alternative email. Be cautious if it does not show ‘@allseasglobal.com’
By moving you mouse over potential links you can see the site to which it links. Do not open any links that do not contain ‘allseasglobal.com’ before confirming with your local representative
Do not open executable attachments such as .exe files from untrusted sourcesIf in any doubt please contact your local representative immediately.

"The phishing scams have become more sophisticated over time leading to experienced IT users being caught out by such phishing scams. Only recently our commercial manager was a victim of a sophisticated phishing scam." - Wayne Booth
