Toner Scam Alert

The Texas Attorney General’s Office has posted a consumer alert about the “phoner toner” scam on its website. 

UH staff should be aware of these types of scams so that they do not pay a fraudulent invoice by mistake. Never provide information about office equipment over the phone unless you know you are talking to an authorized service provider. One way to avoid scams is to use UH contracted vendors whenever possible.

If you receive fraudulent invoices and supplies that were not ordered, or are subjected to bogus collection threats, you can file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General’s Office at (800) 252-8011 or online at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov

If you have any questions, please contact Mike Glisson at mtglisson@central.uh.edu or 713-743-8706.
