We have recently become aware of fraudulent communications from individuals falsely claiming to represent EEM.
These scams may use EEM’s name, branding, or documentation to appear genuine and may invite contractors or suppliers to engage with fake procurement opportunities.
To help protect suppliers, please be aware that:
- EEM does not use trade websites such as Checkatrade to advertise procurement opportunities or invite suppliers to tender
- We will never contact contractors or suppliers via text message (SMS) or WhatsApp regarding tender opportunities or ask you to submit procurement information through these channels
- Genuine EEM procurement opportunities are communicated through our official procurement processes and recognised channels
If you receive a communication claiming to be from EEM that seems unusual or raises any concerns, please do not respond or share any personal, financial, or business information until you have verified its authenticity.
If you are ever unsure whether a communication is genuine, please contact EEM directly using the contact details published on our website before taking further action.
Although we cannot prevent scammers from falsely using our name or branding, by sharing this guidance we hope to help suppliers recognise genuine EEM communications and avoid falling victim to fraudulent activity.
