Copier and Toner Telephone Scam
Sharing for Awareness
We're sharing information about a recent phone and email scam to raise awareness across our campus community. Multiple scammers posing as a 'Shipping' and 'Billing' department targeted a UMBC office, using a combination of aggressive phone calls and persuasive emails to demand payment for copier and toner supplies. They had access to details like staff names and equipment models, making their claims appear genuine.
To protect yourself and the university, always verify payment requests and consult with colleagues or Procurement before using your P-card if you are unsure if the request is legitimate.
