Fraudulent Messages Impersonating Amerit Consulting
Last updated: August 18, 2026
Amerit Consulting is aware of fraudulent communications in which individuals are impersonating Amerit personnel and contacting businesses about purported projects, proposals, and service requests.
At least some of these communications have falsely used the name of Chris Hendrickson, Corporate Controller for Amerit Consulting.
Businesses have reported receiving unsolicited website contact-form submissions and other communications appearing to come from Chris Hendrickson. These communications were not initiated by Chris.
Known examples have included requests involving projects identified as “Prestige Vista” and “Orion Crest Phase 1,” including requests for proposals, project information, cleaning services, and other services.
We have also identified the use of a lookalike email domain:
Fraudulent domain observed: ameritconsultings[.]com
Amerit’s legitimate domain: ameritconsulting.com
The fraudulent domain adds the letter “s” to “consulting,” making it easy to overlook at a glance.
Amerit does not operate the lookalike domain.
The communications we have reviewed so far appear to be an early stage of a business impersonation scheme. The initial messages are designed to cause a business or vendor to believe it is communicating with an Amerit employee regarding a legitimate commercial project.
We cannot determine the criminals’ ultimate objective from these initial communications alone.
Recipients should be alert for possible follow-up attempts involving fraudulent project documents, malicious links or attachments, requests for banking or payment information, requests to establish vendor credit, requests to purchase products or services, altered payment instructions, or attempts to obtain account credentials or other confidential business information.
A legitimate looking initial project inquiry can be used to establish trust before one of these requests is made.
Carefully inspect the sender’s complete email address and domain. A display name such as “Chris Hendrickson” or other known Amerit employees does not establish that a message actually came from Amerit.
Be particularly cautious with unsolicited requests involving projects or business relationships that your organization has not previously discussed with Amerit.
Do not rely on telephone numbers, email addresses, links, or other contact information contained in a suspicious message to verify its authenticity. Independently contact Amerit through the Contact Us page on this website.
Do not open unexpected project documents or follow links in suspicious communications, and do not provide banking information, payment information, credentials, tax documents, or other confidential information until the request has been independently verified.
If you receive a communication that appears to come from Amerit Consulting and are uncertain whether it is legitimate, please contact Amerit independently through our Contact Us page.
If you received one of these fraudulent communications, we would also appreciate receiving information about it. Please preserve the original message, including the sender’s email address and, when possible, the original email headers, screenshots, attachments, and any project names or contact information used by the sender.
Do not contact the fraudulent website or domain on Amerit’s behalf.
