CMA CGM Announcement: Fraud attempts to customers

Nov 01, 2024

CMA CGM Group has recently been facing increased fraud attempts.

Hackers are usurping CMA CGM identity in their conversation with CMA CGM customers by email asking them to pay CMA CGM invoices on their own accounts, pretexting a change of bank account details.

Operating process of hackers may be the following:

  • Hackers might intercept a genuine conversation between you and CMA CGM and replace CMA CGM’s email by a fake email. Then they will continue the email conversation and at some point request a change in the bank account details.
  • Hackers might call you directly or contact you via an unusual channel such as social network, requesting an urgent payment for their company due to personal sickness, emergency, financial distress, etc.


They recommend the highest level of vigilance in this context and confirm that this is not a Group practice to communicate bank details at customer care level nor at any other channels: CMA CGM bank account details are only indicated on our invoices.

Should you receive this type of request, please do not reply or forward as it may be a fraudulent email and phishing attempt. Report this suspicious activity to your usual CMA CGM local contact.
