In this kind of scam, the fraudster pretends to order products from your company and asks for a quotation by attaching a purchase order. The attached file is usually in PDF, Document, compressed, or an unknown file format, which may contain malicious code that could corrupt your computer if downloaded.

The scam email may use generic greetings like “Dear Sir/Madam” or “Dear Customer” avoiding personalization to target a broader audience.

A legitimate customer making a genuine quotation request will typically provide specific details about the products or services they are interested in. They would be clear about the quantities, specifications, and any other relevant information related to their inquiry. If the email lacks these specific details, it could mean it is a scam mail.

The email may contain attachments that recipients are asked to open to proceed with the quotation process. These attachments can contain malware that is harmful to your device.

Scammers may use names, email addresses, and company names that closely resemble real entities to appear authentic.

✅ Always cross-reference the contact information, such as phone numbers and addresses, with publicly available information to verify their legitimacy.
