How it happens
Fraudsters send businesses a form in the post, by email or fax, appearing to offer a free listing in a business directory, either in a catalogue or online.
You’re asked to return the form even if you don’t want to place an order, but the small print states that by returning the form, you are committing to an order and will pay for entries in the directory.
This is kind of phishing or vishing fraud: the directory may not be as well-known as it claims, or has a very low number of copies in circulation, and in some cases doesn’t even exist.
Your company is then given a fake invoice which fraudsters hope will be paid without questioning. If your company queries the invoice, the bogus publisher may try to pose as a debt collection agency and send threatening letters.
