Fraudulent DOT Procurement Scam

Posted on February 19, 2009

Somebody is sending motor carriers a letter, designed to look like it is from the DOT, asking for bank account information, purportedly so the DOT can award contracts to the motor carrier. One of the letters can be seen here.

It is a scam. Do not send these people any financial information. For that matter, if President Obama himself shows up asking for your bank account numbers, don’t give them to him. This scam has been going on for at least 2 years, and apparently DOT has been unable, or uninterested in catching the thieves.
