Received an "invoice", with nothing but a return envelope and an amt. Due of $549.99. There is no indication of what service or good was provided to warrant a bill. All other info on the "invoice" was generic, and could have been gleaned from my company website.
All calls to the 866# listed are to a voice mailbox.
I google'd the address, and suite 200 has like 60 companies under their roof. I called a couple of them and gossiped with some receptionists to learn what the company that shared the suite was/did. I learned that the address listed is a satellite office for a Canadian company, and got another number (514-787-2025). When I called this number, I spoke to 2 women, neither of which gave their names, or even identified who they worked for. This is the extent of my own investigation. If someone can verify this, that would be great.
How far will they take this scam? I don't want a black mark on my company for an unpaid bill. Times are tough for small businesses, and it's a shame that there are predators out there that are hiding behind red tape strewn across state/country lines.
My next step is to contact an authority in Ohio and report this. Does this count as Mail Fraud?
