Fraudulent Use of the Ansell Brand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand in Ansell’s protective equipment (masks, gloves and suits) around the world.

• Attempts have been made by scammers to impersonate real Ansell employees through communications concerning the sale of Ansell products with demands that payment should be made as soon as possible.
• Scammers use Social Engineering Techniques and build trust relationship with the victims: they use business language, real Ansell employee names, Ansell logo and brands, look-alike Ansell email addresses and product photos, and fake Ansell invoices and product registrations/certificates/test reports.
• Ansell accepts no responsibility for any costs, charges or payments made which were improperly incurred as a result of fraudulent activity.

Do not click on links in emails that you did not directly request from a company or that look suspicious. Be aware that scammers could configure redirection from fraudulent domains to our global website.
