WARNING
BIMCO has recently become aware of some phishing emails that are directly targeting some of our members and customers, pretending to be BIMCO invoices. These emails are not from BIMCO and are an attempt to trick you into providing your personal or financial information. Please be vigilant and do not open any attachments, click on any links or reply to these emails. If you receive such an email, please report it as phishing/spam to your email provider.
Some elements of the fake emails that you should look out for are:
- They do not come from a BIMCO email address, but from a different domain such as @bimco-invoice.com or @bimco-payment.com or @outlook.com
- They ask you to pay your membership fee by a different method than usual
- They contain spelling or grammatical errors, or use a different tone or style than our usual communications
- The bank details are not for our bank in Denmark (Danske Bank). Our account numbers (IBAN, Swiftcode, Reg. and Account) have not changed for many years although the address has recently changed from Glostrup to Copenhagen.
Genuine membership fee invoices from BIMCO are issued by BIMCO.
Invoices related to products or services such as training, BIMCO Ship PI or BIMCO SmartCon are issued by BIMCO Informatique A/S.
Below is a genuine BIMCO invoice.
