Namport warns of quotations scam
Staff reporter
The Namibian Ports Authority (Namport) has warned the public of a scam that involves certain individuals soliciting quotations from suppliers using forged names and designations, email signatures and email domains that mimic those of Namport.
Namport’s acting executive: commercial services, Elias Mwenyo, said these criminals are specifically requesting quotes for a Fernandretz T2200 Pressure Pump in these fraudulent requests for quotations.
“Please distribute this notice to all our known associates to curb the spread of this false information,” he added.
He urged the public to familiarise themselves with the correctness of Namport’s official domain address, which is @namport.com.na. Any other variations are unsafe phishing domains.
“For all procurement related information, please consult our website: www.namport.con.na/procurement and to register on our portal go to www.namport.con.na/registration-ortal or contact the Procurement Management Unit at Namport at 064 208 2319,” he added.
He further urged members of the public to report any possible fraudulent activities involving the Namibian Ports Authority immediately at the above number.
