We’ve recently come across a scam situation where individuals are impersonating A1 Cash and Carry team members. (This has happened before)
They’re reaching out as “buyers”, requesting credit, and sending fraudulent purchase orders in hopes of securing product.
Please follow these safeguards before processing any order:
-
Verify email domains carefully
All official A1 email addresses end in @a1cashandcarry.com. Please check for spelling errors or slight variations.
-
Confirm delivery locations
We only accept deliveries to official A1 Cash and Carry store locations or our distribution centers. We will never request delivery to unknown third-party locations.
-
New vendor onboarding requirements
All legitimate new vendor setups require completion of our VOF and IMDF forms. If you are unfamiliar with these, you are likely not dealing with an A1 representative.
-
When in doubt, call us directly
Please contact our team at 905-676-9950 to verify any order or request.
-
Unauthorized names
Please note that “Walter” and “Syed Khalil” are not members of our team.
-
Credit applications
A1 will always complete your official credit application or new customer forms directly. We do not bypass this process
If you receive suspicious communication
Do not process the order until it has been verified with our office
We appreciate your continued partnership and vigilance in helping us prevent fraud
