Description

An invoice was received for an extremely hyperinflated price for a toner delivery from an "Executive Office Supply". No order was ever placed with this "company". After looking into similar scams, it has been determined that they must have called our organization at some point, possibly multiple times, and eventually got the name of an employee (to attach to the invoice) and the specific printer model used within the organization (often times a call is made alleging they are from your office supplier or for some similar cause - an employee did recollect some call regarding printer replacement parts or something of that nature - coincidentally printer parts were being ordered around the time it is expected these calls were received). After receiving this fraudulent invoice and connecting some dots, looking back at least three months, our organization did receive a toner delivery for our specific printer model, and upon looking into it, it was determined that this delivery did not come from our regular supplier i.e. no order was ever place before or around the time this delivery was received. There is another report of almost the exactly same incident/scam with the exact same company name and almost the exact same invoice amount.
