FRAUD ALERT – IMPERSONATION NOTICE

We are aware of fraudulent communications circulating from unauthorised third parties falsely claiming to be from our firm and alleging changes to our banking details. We assure you that our banking information remains unchanged. For added assurance, Adams & Adams is registered as a public recipient beneficiary with South African banks.

Cyber-related fraud and impersonation attempts remain a prevalent risk across professional services firms. In line with applicable data-protection and risk-management standards, clients are strongly encouraged to exercise ongoing vigilance when receiving any communication requesting payment or containing banking information, particularly where such details differ from previously verified records.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

  • Verifications: No payments should be made solely on email instructions, even if they appear to come from the firm, without independent verification through trusted and established channels.
  • Contact us for Confirmation: If you have any uncertainty, please contact Adams & Adams head office to confirm details with our receipting team or your usual, known contact at the firm. Our team will gladly confirm our verified banking details.

At Adams & Adams, we take the protection of personal and confidential information seriously and continue to maintain appropriate administrative, technical and organisational measures to safeguard information as required under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

We continue to take steps to protect our systems and our clients. Your security and trust are of utmost importance to us.

For any concerns or to report a suspicious email, please contact our compliance team: fraud@adams.africa.
