        ATTENTION VENDORS

There have been several reported incidents of scammers attempting to place fraudulent orders claiming to be from Ferris State University.

Some indicators that a request is fraudulent include the following:

  • The product is being shipped to an address other than one of Ferris State University’s campus addresses.
  • They come from an email address that does not end in @ferris.edu or phone number that does not start with 231-591-xxxx
  • The email address may end in .org, .com, or .gov
  • The email address may link directly to FSU’s website
  • The email address may be close to a legitimate FSU’s email address
