Public Notice: Scam Alert

We have once again become aware that the criminal network, impersonating Rössing Uranium employees and specifically our procurement operations is continuing with its fraudulent activities.

As part of the scam, they have created an e-mail domain with the name “rossinguranium.com.na” and are fielding their communications through this domain with criminal intent. In particular, the main culprit uses an alias of “Adriaan Morkel”, claiming to be the Operations Manager and operates from an e-mail address “adriaan.morkel@rossinguranium.com.na”.

Document templates have been recreated, using Rössing Uranium logos and communications and even pretend to copy Rössing staff members, but all using the false domain e-mail addresses. Suppliers should note that Rössing uses the following domain: “rossing.com.na”.

A criminal case has been opened with the Namibian Police, but unfortunately the culprits have not yet been apprehended and continue to scam suppliers. To avoid falling victim to these criminals, we urge all our valued suppliers to take note of the following important guidelines regarding purchase orders and collection of goods to ensure smooth coordination and adherence to Rössing Uranium Limited procedures:

Suppliers should note that Rössing uses the following domain email “rossing.com.na” This is the only valid Rössing email address.

• Rössing will request an official quotation and issue a formal Purchase Order using Rössing domain email. As per below example, please ensure that all quotations and orders are send and received only to Rössing Procurement Advisors – domain “rossing.com.na”
• If you receive any Quotation/Purchase Order from any other email address than the above Rössing domain, this is an invalid request and not issued by Rössing Procurement Department. Rössing will not be held responsible in case of any losses incurred as a result.
• Refrain from Direct Handovers to Employees/Non Rössing Individuals All goods should be delivered to our transporter “Wesbank/FP Du Toit depo in Walvis Bay or Swakopmund. Alternatively, suppliers may deliver directly to Rössing Uranium Mine in Arandis. Suppliers are strictly prohibited from handing over goods to any Rössing Uranium Limited employees without the prior approval of the Logistics Superintendent.
• Centralized Coordination by the Logistics Department
  The Rössing Logistics Department will coordinate all collection requirements and arrange with our authorized Logistics Service Providers to deliver goods to the Rössing Receiving Section.
• Approval for Emergency Requirements
  In cases of emergencies, approval of such collections will be overseen and coordinated by the Logistics Superintendent (in conjunction with the supplier).
• No Payment for Uncoordinated Collections
  Please note that Rössing will not accept or pay for any goods that have not been collected through the proper channels managed by the Rössing Logistics team.

Suppliers are requested to remain vigilant and to report such incidents to the Namibian Police.
