FRAUD ALERT & PURCHASE ORDER VERIFICATION
Important Notice to Vendors and Suppliers
Kensington Food Company has become aware of an ongoing fraud scheme in which unauthorized individuals are impersonating our company and attempting to obtain products and merchandise from suppliers on credit.
These individuals are not employees, representatives, agents, or authorized purchasers of Kensington Food Company.
Fraudsters have used sophisticated methods to make their communications appear legitimate, including:
- Email addresses and domain names designed to resemble legitimate Kensington Food Company addresses
- Fictitious employee names and job titles
- Fraudulent purchase orders and credit applications
- False credit and trade references
- Fabricated or AI-generated identification and employee credentials
- Kensington Food Company business information obtained from public sources
- Requests to ship merchandise to warehouses or other locations not affiliated with Kensington Food Company
The existence of Kensington Food Company information, logos, addresses, tax information, identification documents, credit references, or other apparently legitimate documentation does not establish that an order was authorized by Kensington Food Company.
VERIFY A KENSINGTON FOOD COMPANY PURCHASE ORDER
If you have received a purchase order or credit request and have any question about its authenticity, please verify it with us BEFORE SHIPPING PRODUCT.
Phone: 267-209-0202
Email: hello@kensingtonfood.com
Official Website: KensingtonFood.com
Official Email Domain: @kensingtonfood.com
Do not use a telephone number, email address, website, or other contact information supplied by the person placing the questionable order to verify their identity. Contact us independently using the information above.
Our staff can confirm whether the individual works with Kensington Food Company and whether the purchase order was authorized.
How to Identify a Potentially Fraudulent Order
1. Carefully Check the Email Address
Legitimate Kensington Food Company business email originates from:
@kensingtonfood.com
Fraudsters may register domains or create email addresses that appear extremely similar to our legitimate domain.
An email address that merely looks like a Kensington Food Company address should not be considered proof that an order is legitimate.
2. Independently Verify New or Unusual Orders
We strongly recommend that new suppliers independently verify purchase orders before extending credit or shipping merchandise.
Call Kensington Food Company directly at 267-209-0202 or email hello@kensingtonfood.com.
Do not authenticate an order using contact information supplied solely by the individual attempting to place the order.
3. Scrutinize the Shipping Destination
Be especially cautious if someone claiming to represent Kensington Food Company requests shipment to a warehouse, freight forwarder, third-party logistics facility, residential address, or other location that differs from our established receiving locations.
Do not assume that a shipping address is authorized simply because it appears on a purchase order or other apparently legitimate Kensington Food Company document.
Any unusual or third-party shipping destination should be independently verified with Kensington Food Company before merchandise is released.
4. Do Not Rely on Identification or Documents Alone
Fraudsters may provide convincing:
- Employee identification badges
- Driver's licenses or other identification
- W-9 forms
- Credit applications
- Trade and credit references
- Purchase orders
- Business cards
- Email signatures
- Company information and documentation
These materials can be stolen, altered, fabricated, or generated using artificial intelligence.
Independent verification directly with Kensington Food Company is the safest way to authenticate an order.
