Throughout our journey, we helped numerous businesses to expand their reach to a bigger and better market. Our Premium Members enjoy a range of benefits that enhance their trading experience. 

However, we have recently become aware of scammers targeting our Premium Members through email. These scammers attempt to impersonate Tradewheel.com to trick them into making unauthorized payments. Here, we have discussed how scammers are targeting our Premium Members and how you can identify those emails to make sure you stay at the safe end.

How Scammers Target Premium Members

Scammers are always on the lookout for opportunities, and Premium Members on Tradewheel.com have also been targeted recently. These scammers use Email phishing techniques to collect your data. They will send emails that appear to have been sent by Tradewheel.com. Undefined Such emails could look completely legitimate, like they may contain the Tradewheel.com logo, similar fonts, and even hints at your membership perks.

The scammer’s intention is to build up your trust or pressure you into clicking on a link that the scammer wants you to see or into typing in your username, password, or banking information. This information may be used to steal money, hijack accounts, or even engage in other fraudulent activities.

A few of our Premium Members also received emails claiming to be new Lead Accountant at Tradewheel.com. Even though it had no connection with this company, scammers asked to clear outstanding invoices and send payments in those emails. It is important to remember that Tradewheel.com will never request sensitive information like payment details via email. If you receive such a message, it's a scam attempt. Following is the screenshot of one of the scam attempts on our Premium Members:

How to Identify Scam Emails?

The first line of defense against email scams is scrutinizing the sender's address. Here at Tradewheel.com, all official communication originates from email addresses ending with "@tradewheel.com". This includes emails from our support team, membership services, and any other department you might interact with.

Remember, any email address with a different domain (like ".net" or ".org") or a misspelled version of "@tradewheel.com" is a red flag. Do not respond to these emails, and never click on any links or attachments they might contain.

Following are some additional warning signs:

Urgency or Pressure: Scammers often use scare tactics or create a sense of urgency to pressure you into acting quickly without thinking critically.

Poor Grammar and Spelling: Legitimate companies typically have professional email communication. Emails riddled with typos, grammatical errors, or awkward phrasing might be a red flag.

Generic Greetings: Emails that address you with generic terms like "Dear Customer" instead of your name could be suspicious.

Unexpected Attachments: Be wary of opening attachments from unknown senders. These could contain malware designed to steal your information.

Email Verification Methods

While checking the email address is crucial, there are additional steps you can take to ensure an email's legitimacy. Here at Tradewheel.com, we offer multiple ways for Premium Members to verify suspicious emails:

1. Live Chat: Our friendly support team is available via Live Chat to address any concerns you might have. Don't hesitate to reach out and inquire about the validity of an email if you're unsure.

2. Official Emails: If Live Chat isn't readily available, you can always reply directly to our official email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]. Our team will be happy to assist you in verifying the email's authenticity.

However, if you've shared any confidential details, change your Tradewheel.com password immediately and contact our support team for further assistance.
