Be Aware of "Toner-Phoner" Scam
There have been instances of NYU departments being contacted by unauthorized companies selling toner for photocopiers, fax machines and printers. This is a scam. These companies are not authorized suppliers for the University. Their prices are inflated, misrepresent the price of the supplies as a discounted price, deliver an inferior product, ship short (or not at all) and invoice for the full amount. These firms often claim to represent the manufacturer of the equipment/supplies and act as if they are familiar with the equipment in your office.
Please do not order any supplies from these telemarketing companies. These supplies should be obtained through Staples on i-Buy NYU. In addition, copier supplies are included as part of your copier agreement under the University's master copier agreement with TGI. If you have any questions, please contact Procurement at askfinancelink@nyu.edu.
