Vendor fraud has become a significant issue in the business marketplace, and we’ve noticed an alarming increase in its prevalence. Please be informed that Rieker has never issued a Purchase Order (PO) using private email addresses such as Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud. This is a crucial measure to ensure the utmost security for our prospective vendors. Please note that it’s rare for Rieker to open POs with unauthorized vendors requesting net 30 terms. Therefore, if you suspect that you may have received a suspicious PO, please don’t hesitate to contact our main number at (610)-500-2000 to verify the authenticity of the PO.

For a first time PO, please contact us directly via purchasing@riekerinc.com for confirmation as an added precaution.
