NoveSea Marine is aware that fraudulent third parties may attempt to misuse company names, employee names, supplier identities, customer identities, and other business information in connection with phishing, impersonation, fake procurement requests, tender invitations, order confirmations, shipping instructions, payment requests, or file-sharing links.

This notice is published to help customers, suppliers, partners, and the public identify suspicious communications and verify legitimate correspondence before taking action.

Official NoveSea Marine Communications

Legitimate communications from NoveSea Marine are sent only through official company channels and official company domains.

NoveSea Marine does not use free email services for official procurement, tenders, supplier onboarding, order confirmations, shipping instructions, invoices, bank-detail changes, or payment-related communications.

NoveSea Marine will not ask you to rely solely on an unverified email, temporary download link, urgent message, or third-party file-sharing link before sending quotations, sharing documents, changing bank details, shipping goods, or making payments.

Common Warning Signs

Please treat any message as suspicious if it includes one or more of the following warning signs:

1. The sender uses a free email service or an email domain that does not match the official company website.
2. The sender domain contains misspellings, extra words, unusual extensions, or lookalike characters.
3. The message asks you to download tender, order, payment, invoice, or shipping documents from an unfamiliar third-party link.
4. The download link expires within a short period of time.
5. The message creates urgency through strict deadlines, pressure, threats, or unusual commercial terms.
6. The message asks you to confirm, update, or change bank details by email.
7. The message requests confidential business, financial, technical, or personal information without prior verified contact.
8. The message contains compressed files, unusual file extensions, password-protected archives, executable files, or unexpected attachments.
9. The signature appears professional, but the sender address, links, request, or contact details cannot be independently verified.
10. The message asks you to communicate only through the contact details provided in that message.

How to Verify a Message

Before acting on any message that claims to be from NoveSea Marine, refers to NoveSea Marine, or appears to involve NoveSea Marine in connection with procurement, tenders, orders, shipping, invoices, payments, bank details, or business documents, please take the following steps:

1. Check that the sender email domain matches the official company domain.
2. Do not click links or download attachments until the message has been verified.
3. Compare any contact details in the message with the details published on the official company website.
4. Contact NoveSea Marine directly using known official contact details, not only the details provided in the suspicious message.
5. Do not send quotations, invoices, bank details, company documents, account credentials, or payments until the request has been confirmed through an official channel.

Payment and Bank-Detail Changes

Any request to create, confirm, update, or change payment information should be treated with special caution.

NoveSea Marine recommends that customers, suppliers, and partners verify payment-related instructions through a trusted second channel before taking action. This may include a phone call to a known official number, confirmation through a previously established contact, or another independently verified communication method.

Do not rely on email instructions alone for bank-detail changes, urgent payment requests, payment redirection requests, new payment account details, or changes to beneficiary information.

If funds have already been transferred in response to a suspicious message, contact your bank or financial institution immediately and request assistance with recall, hold, or recovery procedures where available. You should also consider filing a report with the appropriate fraud or cybercrime authority.

Suspicious Links and Attachments

Do not open unexpected links or attachments, especially where the message involves:

1. Tender documents.
2. Order confirmations.
3. Purchase orders.
4. Invoices.
5. Shipping documents.
6. Bank details.
7. Payment confirmations.
8. Shared folders.
9. Compressed files.
10. Password-protected archives.
11. Files that require macros, scripts, or unusual permissions.

If you have already opened a suspicious link or attachment, avoid entering passwords or payment information, consider disconnecting the affected device from the network, and contact your IT or cybersecurity provider as soon as possible.
