I'm a little unclear as to how how exactly they planned to enforce payment for un-solicited toner. What am I missing?

- illuminate 14y agohttp://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus24-avoiding-office-supply-scams http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus24-avoiding-office-supp... They threaten, talk to A/P directly and demand payment (skipping over the original agent), all sorts of ways.
- samstave 14y agoExactly.
- Pinatubo 14y agoHow long ago was this written? They make reference to ordering typewriter ribbons ...
- illuminate 14y agoThe PDF says March of 2000, but it was probably around for decades beforehand :)
- samstave 14y agoThey're scam is that when they invoice - they hope that the company is big enough to the point where A/P just pays it when they say "Yeah so-and-so in IT confirmed this order" -- they are hoping that the initial contact and the AP departments dont talk.
- Mahn 14y agoSending random invoices to companies hoping they'll just pay without thinking about it is a pretty common scam actually. Here in Germany for instance you start getting dozens of fake invoices via ordinary mail the exact second you register a new company, and I guess it's not very different in other countries.
