Description

Our accounting department received an invoice for $49,927.00 and a W-9. Upon closer look at the invoice, it had several places throughout that had type of different font from the invoice as a whole. The company that is being represented was googled and found to be at a different address. Upon searching the address on the invoice, it was found to be a Smoke Shop on a small side street. The EIN on the W-9 was searched and that is how we came across this report.
