The Nevada Department of Transportation says scam artists are attempting to purchase computer equipment under NDOT’s name.

Using a fake @nevadaddot.com email address, scammers have attempted to purchase computer equipment without an official state purchase request or vendor solicitation. The scammers then attempt to get the equipment delivered to an out-of-state location.

Multiple companies have contacted NDOT directly to verify what turned out to be illegitimate purchase requests. One vendor shipped computer equipment without verification.

Official NDOT email addresses end with @dot.nv.gov.
