Supplier phishing

Siemens Official Anti-Phishing Guide: Protect your information, identify fraudulent emails, and maintain security in your communications.

Dear Supplier,

Taking into account the presence of attacks known as "Phishing"; and the attention that Siemens S.A.S. pays to security against cyber-attacks; We share with you the following recommendations related to our Purchase Orders:

  1. Sender: Siemens S.A.S Purchase Orders (NIT 860031028-9)

    are always sent from emails whose official domain ends in @siemens.com, through corporate emails.

  2. Delivery Location: the main delivery point is at our facilities (Autopista Medellín 8.5 South side). If this is not the case and if you have any doubts about the delivery location, please make sure to contact Siemens S.A.S. Purchasing directly. On rare occasions we undertake to collect materials at the supplier's premises. If you have any questions about the contact person, please call via the Siemens switchboard (+57 601 9157900), send an email to the following address: webmaster.ranr@siemens.com or identify the contact on the following page: Contact Us Siemens Colombia
  3. Invoicing: Siemens S.A.S. receives all invoices via the electronic invoicing box facelectronica.colombia.ar@siemens.com. No employee of Siemens S.A.S. is authorized to receive invoices from suppliers directly.

Spam emails may circulate in which Siemens is listed as the sender. These emails are FRAUDULENT emails or what is known as "Phishing Emails". This term consists of sending fraudulent emails that appear to be legitimate and often include company logos that make them look official.

A typical phishing email usually consists of a false claim about customer data and may include a link to a fictitious website that mimics an official page of a reputable company. The intent is to illegally acquire sensitive user information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and all kinds of personal information or to mislead or defraud the recipient. Some phishing emails may also include attachments with electronic viruses.

Keep in mind:

  1. The email domain is different from the sender's domain. Emails from Siemens S.A.S. will always include the official domain: @siemens.com
  2. The "To" field is not descriptive. Emails from Siemens S.A.S will always include your name or email address.
  3. The email address, for replying, is different from the sender's. Emails from Siemens S.A.S. will never request an email address that does not include the official domain: @siemens.com

Without prejudice to the above recommendations, it is also important to note that each Siemens S.A.S. supplier is responsible for implementing and maintaining on its own account a comprehensive and updated concept in terms of industrial security (cybersecurity) that prevents it from cyberattacks such as Phishing or any other form.

We appreciate your interest and support in this topic. Do not hesitate to contact us in case of concerns and/or any anomaly detected.

Receive our cordial greetings,
