ArcelorMittal continuously invests in the security of its customers.
With the rise in digital transactions, cyberattacks and electronic fraud are more prevalent than ever. It's important to stay vigilant and informed to protect yourself. Therefore, stay connected through our official channels and never trust phone numbers listed on other websites.
Fake websites:
Since July 31, 2023, ArcelorMittal has been the victim of scammers who commit online fraud crimes through fraudulent websites, fake WhatsApp profiles, and the unauthorized use of company trademarks.
In order to expand the reach of the fake websites, criminals even boost marketing campaigns for their ads on the Google Ads platform. Thus, when typing keywords related to ArcelorMittal into Google's search tool, the user finds the manipulated search result highlighted at the top of the page.
WhatsApp Scam:
As for WhatsApp, the scam tactic involves sending fake quotes. To deceive victims, leading them to believe there is nothing wrong with the negotiation, the scammers use a profile picture of an employee using a uniform with our logo or an image of ArcelorMittal’s virtual assistant, Steela. The fraud occurs through the indication of payment for alleged quotes, via PIX (Brazil's instant payment system) or deposit into accounts of companies named "Lojas Aços", "Lojas Aços Ltda.", "Assessoria Jurídica", among others.

People are misusing the ArcelorMittal brand to create fake websites, posing as salespeople and conducting fraudulent transactions via WhatsApp. The most common scam involving our company's name is the sending of fake bank slips or requests for payment via PIX. To carry out the scam, the fraudster registers fake phone numbers on classifieds or on internet search engines.
