It happens when someone calls to sell expensive office supplies at a discounted rate. It is called the toner scheme, where the business gets requests from the sales representatives of a supplier, who contacts the firm to know about the models and copiers they use.
They gather the data and place requests or orders. The representative poses as the seller and tells them they will increase the product prices, but it can be delivered at a lower current rate if you order now. Often, the supplies are of low quality, and they may not meet the firm's requirements.
There are other scamswhere the caller claims to confirm an existing order, call just to verify the order, or offer a free catalogue as a sample to the victim. Then unordered products are delivered to the business owners who may refuse to pay for them, but the seller says he has an audio recording to prove you requested the order, and they put pressure to get payment for the supplies.
To prove the order was requested and show they agreed for the goods, they send the birthdate of the owners, but in reality, the buyer is conned into spending on worthless products as the scammers insist on payment. Finally, they send an invoice where the user gets total and the discounted bills.
If the business sends the payment for the bogus invoice, they will send more merchandise of the same quality with more bills which they may send from a different firm. Nevertheless, it will be originally from the same organisation.
Do not pay for the merchandise you did not order. If you get the products, do not pay for them as the law supports the buyers that state if no one ordered, the customer is not liable to send the items back, and the vendors cannot collect them without permission. Therefore, you need not pay even if you used the unordered merchandise.
Educate the staff and ask them to block messages from fake callers who claim they are doing business with you.
They sometimes claim it is urgent, and you need to speak to them to avoid a loss, or they may call someone in a certain department to respond immediately. The staff should know the address and other details of the authentic suppliers to reject such calls.
An employee can be assigned to handle a bogus call from a supplier who gives free offers or pretends to be responding against existing orders.
Carefully examine all the invoices and details of the statements of the bills of the products you order to avoid paying for unordered ones.
