i remember a case a few years ago a bogus company was taken to court and found guilty for a very large amount of these bogus invoices. i think it was reported that the scam was in the region of a couple of 100k!! there scheme was as above but they only ever invoiced for very small amounts, i think it was for stationary. some firms were paying these invoices every month for about 18 months. it stuck in my mind because i couldn't believe how easily these firms were duped!! |
