Verified CargoBid email addresses
Email communications are an important part of how we receive and share information with shippers and carriers. It's important to be able to recognise our verified email domains.

Please note that all emails from your CargoBid representative will come from @cargobid.org email addresses.

Emails that appear to be from CargoBid but come from different domains are likely to be spam or phishing attempts and should be reported.
Note on common phishing attacks
Two common phishing attacks are attempts to steal passwords and banking information.
Please note:
- CargoBid will never update our bank details for payments via email. If you receive an email requesting a change to our banking information, it is fraudulent and should be reported as phishing.
- CargoBid representatives and employees will never request your password via email for any of our digital freight platforms. This includes CargoBid and Goaffpro. If you receive an email requesting your password, it should be reported.
