Fraud statement

Middlesex University is aware of fraudulent activity taking place in its name where the fraudsters are trying to obtain goods through deception. The main approach used by fraudsters is to use a seemingly correct PO to raise an order with a company that originates from an email address that resembles those of the Middlesex University. Please contact the University if you receive any suspicious orders.
