FRAUDULENT LETTERS
Attention all DOT current or potential contractors and all
contracting personnel
There has been another round of
fraudulent letters issued to current U. S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) contractors and potential contractors
purporting to be issued by DOT. These fraudulent letters request
that current or potential contractors register in the DoD Central
Contractor Registration System (CCR). Please be aware that DOT does
not require any confidential information to be submitted to verify
CCR registration and that all companies should verify personally
that they are sending information to an authorized DOT official
before submitting confidential company information.
The latest letters have been dated
December 19th, 2005 signed by “Frank M. Orell", February
8, 2006 signed by "Randy Cohen" and
April 27, 2006, July 28, 2006 signed
by "Dan Jacobs", November 8, 2006 and February 26, 2007 signed by
"Lisa Johnson" as the Senior Procurement Officer. Please
DO NOT complete the
requested CCR worksheet that is attached to the letter and
DO NOT release any
information to the facsimile number cited in the letter.
The CCR is a legitimate government
system, however to register contractors should go directly through
the CCR website not through a third party. There is no requirement
to send information directly to DOT. For information on how to
register in the CCR, please visit website
www.ccr.gov or
http://www.ccr.gov/index.cfm.
The point of contact concerning
these fraudulent letters is the Department of Transportation Office
of the Inspector General Hotline at 1-800-424-9071 |
