There was a similar scam in Italy a few years ago a couple of guys registered (legally/correctly) a travel agency calling it with a name same as of a government agency "Agenzia del Territorio sas" vs. "Agenzia del Territorio" (or something like that). Then they started sending yellow envelopes with the name stamped in blue (i.e. very similar at first sight to the ones that the actual government agency would send for collecting a fine or similar "official" communication) to firms (names and addresses of firms are public) with a mechanism (again perfectly legal) in which you pay the postman to get the envelope. The amount was a small one, like 20 Euros or so, i.e. what the porter or a secretary would have available or could advance without asking a manager or even if the manager was called he/she would give the OK since it was an "official" letter. When the envelope was later opened, it contained a catalog of travels/hotels/etc. with an accompanying letter like "Dear sirs, following our conversation, please find enclosed the travel catalog you asked for. Best regards." (again perfectly legal stuff). Almost noone bothered to report to the police the matter, as it would have been difficult to be sure that none of the employees actually ordered the catalog thinking it was free and it would have costed much more in time lost. So the thing went on for quite a bit of time.
