FRAUD AWARENESS
Fraudulent Use of the Global Express Brand
Attempts have been made to defraud Internet shoppers by the unauthorized use of the Global Express name and brand via email communications and graphics which appear, on the surface, to have originated from Global Express.
In most cases the communications concern the sale of consumer goods over the Internet where payment may be requested before the goods are delivered.
Please be advised that Global Express does not request payment in this manner. Global Express only collects money due for official Global Express related shipping expenses.
This security notice does not affect the obligation of a consignee to pay shipping, customs, VAT or similar charges, where these are properly payable at the time of delivery.
Global Express accepts no responsibility for any costs, charges or payments made which were improperly incurred as a result of fraudulent activity.

If you are in any doubt as to the integrity of a website that uses the Global Express brand, please always access Global Express websites via our global website.
