University Of Northern Colorado Falls Victim To Software Scam

GREELEY, Colo. (CBS4) - The University of Northern Colorado is out $85,000 after falling victim to a scam.

The school paid a software developer that didn't exist.

The Greeley Tribune reports UNC hired Bossage Inc. to work on apps for online teaching.

It wasn't until almost a year later that the school realized the company wasn't real.

UNC says it has since improved its policies to prevent something like this from happening again.
