September 20, (THEWILL) – Seplat Energy Plc has dissociated itself from reports of fraudulent activities involving purchase orders and requests for quotations.
In the press release, Seplat noted that these fraudulent activities which are being circulated via emails, websites, and SMS are aimed at defrauding the public of false purchase orders.
The press release read, “Seplat Energy Plc has been made aware of various correspondences, being circulated via e-mail, from internet websites, text messages and via regular mail, falsely informing recipients that they have been issued Purchase Orders (PO) or have been selected to participate in Request for Quotations (RFQ)/Invitation to Tenders (ITTs).
“These scams, which may seek to obtain money and/or, in certain cases, personal details from the recipients of such correspondence, are fraudulent.
“In some cases, the recipients are asked to pay money to specific companies in the UK who are supposedly OEMs of products being ordered.”
Seplat Energy Plc warned investors and the public at large about being aware of these fraudulent activities being perpetrated, purportedly in the name of SEPLAT and/or its officials, through different fraudulent schemes.
