AWA Denmark – Note on e-mail phishing

We have become aware that internet scammers are impersonating AWA Denmark. So far, we have been contacted by a small number of companies who have received identical emails from a sender pretending to be us, accusing them of intellectual property infringement.

We are deeply affected by the misuse of our name, which we have spent more than 150 years building. But most of all, we are frustrated on behalf of small businesses that are being scammed. Thank you to those of you who have brought it to our attention.

It is essential to point out that the scammers have not had access to our IT system and are only misusing our name. The emails are being sent from a Gmail account, and the sender is stated as AWA Danmark—not as AWA Denmark A/S, which is our correct name. 

As always, you are welcome to contact us if you receive this type of inquiry and doubt its authenticity.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your efforts in remaining vigilant against these types of email phishing scams.
