Fake emails using Ahcl Machinery Division's name

Ahcl Machinery Division is aware of fake emails, popularly called "phishing" emails which can contain notices such as job advertisements, job offers and competition award notifications. These emails use Ahcl Machinery’s name to pretend they are genuine and exist solely for the purpose of obtaining private information about consumers (e.g. credit card numbers or passwords). These emails have no connection with Ahcl Machinery and Ahcl Machinery does not use these methods for job advertising or for communicating with competition winners.

Unfortunately these fake emails are a growing fraud on the internet. This practice is carried out either by the sending of a bogus email directly to a victim, or by directing them to a website where personal information is requested.

Recent email award notifications have purported to be from Ahcl machinery Division. Ahcl Machinery Division never requests payment details in association with competition winners or any communication related to them.

Ahcl Machinery Division advises that if you receive an email using Ahcl Machinery Division’s name that asks for personal information or financial information and you have concerns about its authenticity, then please treat such emails with extreme caution.
