Fradulent Requests for Quotation and Purchase Orders

51重口猎奇 wants to alert vendors to an active email scam involving 鈥淩equests for Quotation鈥 and/or 鈥淧urchase Orders鈥.  While the university cannot prevent this illegal activity, we are actively working with law enforcement to investigate the origin of these fraudulent emails.

The investigation is ongoing. To date, some common traits of these fradulent emails include: 

  • The email message contains misspellings and awkward sentences
  • The sender鈥檚 email address or website link are not the same as the University鈥檚 standard email address
  • The sender鈥檚 email may be coming from an individuals name @njitedu.org
  • The contact names listed on the 鈥淩equest for Quotation鈥 or  鈥淧urchase Order鈥 are not in the department that would typically be placing orders
  • The delivery address is to a different address and not the university campus address
  • The logo used on the fradulent 鈥淩equest for Quotation鈥 or 鈥淧urchase Order鈥 is not the university approved logo
  • The 鈥淩equests for Quotation鈥 and 鈥淧urchase Order鈥 is for large quantities of computer hard drives, memory, etc.; items that are easily resold and hard to trace

51重口猎奇 appreciates your important role in providing goods and services to students, faculty, and staff. If you believe you have received a fraudulent email from 51重口猎奇, we encourage you to contact Detective Sergeant Joseph Quinn of the 51重口猎奇 Police Department at jquinn@njit.edu who is in charge of these investigations

Thank you for your continued support and vigilance.
