Fraud Alert: Unauthorized Use of the BELWEST Name

Published July 28, 2026

BELWEST has become aware of fraudulent emails sent from belwest.net by an unknown third party impersonating our organization and one of our representatives.

The domain belwest.net is not owned, operated, or authorized by BELWEST.

Our official domains

BELWEST owns and uses only the following domains:

Emails claiming to represent BELWEST but sent from another domain should be treated as suspicious.

What the fraudulent emails may request

The messages may use the name, address, branding, or identity of a BELWEST representative and ask recipients for:

  • Introductions to travel agencies or service providers

  • Business or personal contact information

  • Assistance establishing a supplier relationship

  • Other apparently routine business referrals

These requests are not authorized by BELWEST.

What you should do

If you receive a suspicious message:

  1. Do not reply.

  2. Do not click any links or open unexpected attachments.

  3. Do not call any telephone number provided in the message.

  4. Do not share personal, business, supplier, or payment information.

  5. Send the original email to alain@belwest.org, preferably as an attached .eml or .msg file so that the technical headers are preserved.

  6. If you have already replied, shared a contact, or introduced the sender to a supplier, please contact BELWEST immediately.

How to verify a BELWEST request

Confirm any unexpected request by contacting BELWEST through a telephone number or email address published directly on belwest.org.

Do not use contact information contained in the suspicious message itself.

Important clarification

This incident involves the unauthorized use of BELWEST’s identity through a separate, lookalike domain.

[Include the following only after the relevant access logs, forwarding rules, account permissions, and email configurations have been reviewed: “BELWEST’s systems have been reviewed, and no unauthorized access has been identified.”]
