Beware of "Toner Phoners"

There are several unscrupulous businesses out there who attempt to sell you outrageously priced printer/copier toner/ink over the phone. They may start by asking you what is the model or ID# of the copier or printer near your desk. They may say they have extra stock of the toner you need or the price is set to increase soon. They may offer to ship you a toner on trial. Regardless of what they say, don't give them any information. All you need to know is that toner is included in the maintenance agreement for the machines on campus, and you get toner for your copier or printer by calling the Copy Center at extension 1054. You will never need to purchase toner for machines in your area. A quick way to ditch these "toner phoners" is to tell them you will transfer them to the person in the organization who purchases toner - they will hang up before you can transfer them!
