Scam Alert: Fake Emails Impersonating CPO-HE

Be alert for fraudulent emails attempting to steal your banking information, login credentials, credit card details, or attempting to request payments. The Chief Procurement Office for Public Institutions of Higher Education (CPO-HE) will never request financial information or payments via email or text message and only in limited circumstances request personal information. To confirm official communications and legitimate emails from the CPO-HE, email eec.cpohe@illinois.gov.

Join CPO-HE staff starting 10/6 for our monthly Office Hours training series, held the first Tuesday each month. This series aims to connect, educate, and empower vendors and community members about doing business with public institutions of higher education and the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA).
