FRAUDULENT PURCHASE REQUESTS

The Purchasing and Contracts office has recently been informed of several vendors receiving emails requesting a quote from an email address ending in @unco-edu.com or @unco-edu.org.  These are not valid UNC emails.  Please disregard any emails purporting to be from UNC that do not come from the correct domain of @unco.edu.  If you are unsure of the validity of any documents received from UNC, please email the document in question to purchasing@unco.edu and we will confirm its authenticity.  If you have any questions or concerns, please call 970-351-2287.
