How Would I Know?
The fraudster poses as a representative of SSMC. They pretend that they are offering an opportunity to contract with
SSMC to provide goods or services; or that there is an investment opportunity. Often (not always) the fraud involves
requesting you to pay money to them in order to win the contract or participate in the investment.
SSMC will never ask for money from a third party in order for that third party to participate in its procurement
process or in order to be considered for a business or investment opportunity.
Applying for vacant jobs at SSMC is ONLY accessible through the Job Portal on the website www.ssmc.ae which is the official domain name registered to “SSMC” on the Internet
and is also the approved domain for e-mail [email protected] .
What Should I Do?
Always remember – if an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Use your common sense:
- Do not respond to unsolicited business propositions from sources you cannot independently verify as
being legitimate.
- Do not provide personal or financial details to anyone you do not know or trust, or on a website you do
not trust.
- Be alert for suspicious signs:
- Be suspicious when dealing with anyone who does not have a direct telephone line / who never answer when
you call their number but return your call later (from a different number).
- Always independently verify the legitimacy of any business or investment opportunity before you take any
decision.
- SSMC has an official account on LinkedIn, and all e-mail communications are sent from e-mail addresses
ending in the following domain @SSMC.AE
Consider if it’s appropriate to notify local law enforcement in your area if you are the victim of an attempted scam.
