****SCAM ALERT****
Palm Beach County's Purchasing Department has identified a scam in which bid requests and fraudulent purchase orders are being sent to vendors, which appear to come from Palm Beach County.
Scammers are utilizing look-a-like email addresses to make it appear that pricing is being requested from Palm Beach County. The scammers then issue a fraudulent purchase order that appears to come from Palm Beach County and request that the items be shipped to a location not associated with Palm Beach County.
The scammers appear to be targeting companies that sell computer equipment and audio-visual type equipment.
Please carefully review e-mail bid requests and purchase orders received from Palm Beach County and be aware that the only official Palm Beach County email extension is ....... @pbcgov.org.
The scammers have created an email address that reflects …. @pbcgovs.org
To confirm their authenticity, you should contact the issuer on the Purchase Order, but only by using an e-mail address with the e-mail extension @pbcgov.org.
