Fraudulent and Scam Emails
Important information regarding fraudulent communications, email impersonation, and how to verify legitimate correspondence from Confuorto.
Awareness of Fraudulent Communications
Protecting Clients and Partners from Email Fraud
Confuorto is aware that individuals and organizations may attempt to impersonate legitimate businesses through fraudulent emails, phishing campaigns, and other deceptive communications.
These messages are often designed to appear credible and may misuse company names, logos, or employee identities in an attempt to gain trust, request sensitive information, or initiate unauthorized financial transactions.
Confuorto takes these matters seriously and provides the following guidance to help identify and respond to suspicious communications.
Common Types of Scam Emails
Understanding How Fraudulent Messages Appear
Fraudulent emails can take many forms and may appear highly convincing. Common examples include:
- Impersonation Emails
Messages claiming to be from Confuorto representatives requesting information, documents, or action. - Payment and Invoice Fraud
Requests for payment, changes to banking details, or urgent financial transactions. - Phishing Attempts
Emails requesting login credentials, personal data, or confidential business information. - Urgent or Threat-Based Messages
Communications creating a false sense of urgency to pressure immediate action.
These tactics are designed to bypass normal verification processes and exploit trust.
How to Identify Suspicious Emails
Key Warning Signs
While fraudulent emails may appear legitimate, there are common indicators that should raise concern:
- Unexpected requests for sensitive or confidential information
- Changes to payment instructions or banking details
- Email addresses that do not match official company domains
- Poor formatting, grammar, or inconsistencies in communication
- Requests marked as urgent or requiring immediate action
- Attachments or links from unknown or unverified sources
If any of these indicators are present, the communication should be treated with caution.
Confuorto Communication Standards
How We Communicate with Clients
To help distinguish legitimate communications, it is important to understand how Confuorto operates:
- We do not request sensitive personal or financial information via unsolicited email
- We do not change payment instructions without formal verification
- All official communications are sent from verified company domains
- Any financial or contractual changes are documented and confirmed through proper channels
If a message deviates from these standards, it should be verified before any action is taken.
Verification Procedures
Confirm Before You Act
If you receive a communication that appears to be from Confuorto but raises concern, verification is essential.
We recommend:
- Contacting us directly using official contact details
- Avoiding the use of contact information provided within the suspicious message
- Confirming any financial or contractual requests through a known representative
- Not clicking links or downloading attachments until verified
Verification should always occur before responding or taking action.
What to Do if You Receive a Suspicious Email
Immediate Steps to Take
If you believe you have received a fraudulent or suspicious communication:
- Do not respond to the message
- Do not click any links or open attachments
- Do not provide any information
- Report the email to Confuorto using the contact details below
- Delete the message after reporting
Taking these steps reduces the risk of compromise.
Reporting Fraudulent Activity
Help Us Prevent Misuse
Confuorto encourages clients, partners, and the public to report suspected fraudulent communications.
This allows us to:
- Investigate potential misuse of our name or identity

- Warn others of emerging threats
Reports should include the email content, sender details, and any relevant context.
Limitation of Responsibility
Third-Party Communications
Confuorto is not responsible for fraudulent communications issued by third parties that misuse our name, branding, or identity.

Fraudulent communication methods continue to evolve. Awareness and verification remain the most effective defenses.
We recommend maintaining internal protocols for:
