Received an invoice from Telcom Directories stating NOTICE OF DELINQUENT INVOICE. It included an invoice which looks completely professional and adheres to all usual invoicing characteristics.
The 'notice' stated they have not received a reply or remittance to previous invoices, and therefore are not able to extend any more time to pay the enclosed invoice.
It included a pre-addressed envelope, and of course the invoice had the perforated bottom portion for remittance.
I'm sure that in many other business' hands, this would probably flow through accounts payable/finance without too much regard. I manage the telecom accounts and billings, so noticed it immediately as a scam.
In checking the internet I found the same scammer was filed suit against by the USPS, and the judicial body concluded:
"... It is concluded that Respondents distribute solicitations in the guise of bills or invoices in violation of 39 U.
