E-MAIL SCAM WARNING
Kuwait Oil Company has become aware of various email scams circulating on the internet in which fraudsters, using KOC or other Kuwait oil sector companies' official logos, falsely intimate that the recipient of the email has been appointed a position at KOC, or to express their interest to participate in KOC vendor’s registration. The fraudsters typically ask the recipient to submit "fees", sometimes large sums of money or to transfer money as various fees. Sometimes the scammers will send a fake cheque to reimburse the "fees". The victim may send money before discovering that the "reimbursement" check is fraudulent. There is also the possibility that this scam may be used to "Phishing" for the victim's personal identifying information in an effort to commit further fraud.

Please be aware that KOC does not use the domains “Bid-KuwaitOil.com / Bid-kockw.com”,etc. and all official emails are sent from kockw.com or through KOC official Fax numbers. Moreover, KOC never request vendors to pay to register with KOC or to show interest of participation.

KOC recommends that you verify the authenticity of any email by checking the domain (kockw.com), and to check through KOC official channels by contacting INFOSEC Infosec@kockw.com before engaging with anyone claiming to be a KOC representative.

KOC has posted this warning as a public service. Kuwait Oil Company, its employees and agents will not be liable for any losses incurred as the result of these unauthorized activities.
