It has been brought to our attention that Baron Point and/or subsidiary companies and documentation with our logo, name and/or identity, as well as our employees names has been subject to use, fraudulently, and used in business propositions and offers that are fake. These business propositions and offers pretend to be made on behalf of a Baron Point subsidiary company, or the Baron Point in general, and they are not real.
Our Position
Baron Point and our family of companies respect the value of business ethics and apply best practices principal across the enterprise. If you agree, report any waste, conflict of interest, fraud, or any other alleged violation of best practices principals and any criminal act or tort by any law, in relation to any business dealing or in carrying out business transaction adverse to you and/or the Baron Point and our family of companies.
Feel free to contact our whistle blowing system at [email protected] where your identity will be held confidentially in the event any party knowing any alleged violation reports it to our system.
Remember, if you do not report, we cannot help, and you may be held responsible, under the law, for any consequences of the said non-compliance.
In the case of Business Propositions
The Fraudster poses as representative of a Baron Point subsidiary company or the Baron Point and seeks opportunities of business transactions related to physical commodity products, contracts, investments, projects, etc.
In the case of Recruitment Offers
The Fraudster sends initial enquiry followed by an online interview questionnaire and an offer of
employment without any face-to-face interview. These communications are pretending to be sent on behalf
of a Baron Point subsidiary company or the Baron Point. These offers notify individuals that their
qualifications are found suitable to work and solicit the transfer of significant sums of money to pay
for visa, work permits, etc.
Please note that a Baron Point subsidiary company or Baron Point never selects candidates based upon an
online interview and never asks any money or fee, either directly or indirectly, from any applicant at
any point of time during the recruitment process.
All job vacancies are published on the Baron Point careers area of our website.
Best Practices so you do not get scammed!
- Know who you are dealing with.
- Do not disclose your personal or financial details to anyone you do not know or trust or on a website you do not trust.
- Should you have disclosed this information to somebody you do not know or trust or to a website you do not trust consider reporting the incident to your local law enforcement.
- Be alert for certain suspicious signs – e.g. poor use of language, communications from non-baronpoint.com e-mail addresses (e.g. from a yahoo.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com addresses), requests for advance money, contact through social websites such as LinkedIn, etc.
- It is against Baron Point's enterprise policy to do any business outside of a baronpoint.com domain, so never accept any solicitation or discussion of business if it is coming from a non-baronpoint.com domain.
