Beware of Fraudulent Emails Requesting Quotes or Submission of Fraudulent Purchase Orders!

Texas Woman's University (TWU) Procurement & Contract Services Department wishes to alert suppliers/contractors of recent activity involving scams that appear to be asking for price quotes or submission of fraudulent purchase orders on behalf of TWU. We regret that we are not able to prevent this illegal activity, but we will remain diligent in our efforts to report these scams to law enforcement to actively investigate this internet crime. Suppliers/contractors may also want to report this to your local law enforcement department.

Please be aware of a few of the common signs of these fraudulent emails and be very suspicious of emails that include the following:

• Emails requesting extension of credit. This is not a normal practice for TWU to request this.
• Emails that request shipment or delivery to another address that appears to be off campus or to another state.
• TWU email addresses all end with “twu.edu.” All communication from TWU Procurement & Contract Services will come from an email ending in @twu.edu, or the phone call will be from area code 940.

If you are unsure of the validity of a request or a purchase order, please contact the TWU Procurement & Contract Services Office directly at procure@twu.edu or at (940) 898-3535.
