Fraudulent Letters to Motor Carriers Requesting Banking Information Print this page Print FMCSA Security Bulletin # 032813.01 This bulletin is for use by FMCSA Industry, Government, and Law Enforcement Partners. Another round of fraudulent USDOT Letters dated March 12, 2013 are being distributed, largely by fax, to motor carrier officials. The letters appear to be from the U.S. Department of Transportation Procurement Office and are signed by a fictitious name Julie Weynel – Senior Procurement Officer who is NOT an employee of USDOT. The letters are an attempt to obtain banking information from the targeted carriers. Motor Carrier officials and their employees - as well as government and law enforcement officials, should be vigilant and on the lookout for fraudulent attempts to gather financial (or other personal identifiable Information – PII) data by fax, e-mail, or telephone. Requestors should be verified and authenticated before such data is provided! You may find additional information on the USDOT Office of Inspector General Websites below: oig.dot.gov/fraud-alert
