Scam Alert

Scams circulating Australia involving fraudulent references to Shell companies

20/05/2008

We have recently become aware of a number of scam emails and text messages circulating in Australia which claim to be from or associated with Shell or its related companies.

These scam emails/text messages have included:

  • offers of employment with Shell abroad;
  • offers to sell phantom vehicles or other items because of a relocation with Shell; and
  • notification of lottery winnings from Shell in the US.



The aim of these scams is to obtain personal information and bank account details for use in identity theft and to defraud people of money.


Please be aware that Shell is in no way related to these emails and text messages.


We would like to advise the public of the following:


  1. Do not respond to unsolicited business propositions and/or offers from people you are unfamiliar with.
  2. Do not disclose your personal/financial details to anyone you do not know.
