Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
I received multiple faxes claiming to be overdue invoices for over 12 months that have been turned over for collections in the amount of $498.95 for 1 year of services to include Facebook & Twitter features. We have never done business with this company. We don’t pay to be included in any yellow pages directory. The first fax we received was from the company itself, or it claimed to be. The following two faxes came from what they called "US Credit Bureau Protection-GPR International, Inc., but looked exactly the same in appearance. All claiming to be "Final Demand" for payment and stating "Last Chance to Protect Your Credit Score in Good Standing". All of them had the same PO Box address for payment in Bulgaria. All had a fax number, but no phone number to call.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
I work as a secretary for a company in the construction business. We have received falsified invoices relentlessly that state they are from a company by the name of American Yellow Group Inc. The most recent one claims to be from their outsourcing department in Bulgaria. The invoice states we owe them $489.95. We never authorized services from this company. Most recently, the fake invoices are stating this is our last chance to protect our credit score. We then began receiving faxes from a company by the name of Open Business Solutions, LLC. These faxes claim they are from the legal department in Germany. The charges are stated as $1238.00. After some quick searching online, I learned this is a common scam.
About a week ago we received a phone call from a woman named Maddison wanting to settle our nonexistent debt. She even kindly offered to take ten percent off should we pay then and there over the phone. My boss (the owner of the company) and I have both been taking these phone calls from this woman, and finally the task has been given to me and me alone to stop this incessant harassment. Yesterday I answered her call, told her she would now only be speaking to me regarding this manner, and was met with rudeness. Not only was she insulting, her story kept changing. At first she was with a company that offered advertising, but would never state her company name. I asked her if she was with American Yellow Group, to which she denied any affiliation even though the invoices she has continuously faxed our company clearly state this company name. I then asked her if she was with Open Business Solutions, to which she told me I needed to get a pen so I could write down her information and that she would wait, in the most condescending tone. She then informed me she was with a company by the name of Index Direct, which is a completely different name than the others she has been calling in regards to. This morning she called and was told by the owner of the company she would have to speak to accounts payable (me) in order to resolve this issue. Upon answering the phone she asked for accounts payable and immediately started in on how to settle our "debt" without ever identifying who she was representing. I stopped her before she got into her spiel and informed her that our company never authorized this service and therefore owed her or her company no money. She then told me the owner of the company authorized this service to which I informed her he had not, and asked that she remove us from their fax/calling list. She argued with me that we did have an open account with the company she was representing (which company she was claiming to be calling from this particular call I am still unclear) and scoffed asking how we could possibly not have an account and want to be deleted from their system at the same time. I then asked her to provide me with a contract or agreement they had received from us, at which point she told me I was not named on the invoice therefore she will have to contact my boss and hung up on me.
This is clearly a scam. Fax spam can be ignored and simply tossed in the trash. Phone calls and verbal harassment from an argumentative representative over falsified invoices, however, take time from our work. At this point I feel as if I should invoice her for all the time the owner and I have spent trying to get these people to stop calling us. It is absolutely sickening these people can get away with this.
