My company just received a very legitimate looking invoice for 7 annual subscriptions to a publication called Sales Insider. The amount was for $371.
Aside from its appearance, the thing that gave it an air of authenticity was that it named a person from our Sales Department as the orderer. Also, attached to the invoice was a W-9 for the company - presumably to allow Accounts Payable to set up a vendor account immediately.
We contacted the person in our Sales Department, who, of-course, had never heard of or ordered the publication.
Slick!
