Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Received an Invoice in the mail from MCI a Verizon Company, charging phone operator assisted services. Our Company is small and I am the only office person. I did not make any phone calls from the office line to SNJS West CA, which is what the bill stated. Called the number on the Invoice and received a voicemail to leave a message. No address, only a PO Box and no Website listed. Realized it must be a scam and googled it. Found someone who reported this back in February of 2018. Looks like they are at it again.

The Invoice was for a small amount. I believe they felt it would get paid easily since it was a small amount. I suspect they were going to continue Invoicing each month.

I received a bill which stated "The following calls were completed using MCI’s Network. The charges for these calls will not be on any other telephone company’s invoice. Please pay upon receipt to MCI. Thank you." The supposed charges were to a phone in Honolulu Hawaii. When I checked with my long distance carrier I have an unlimited plan for the entire US and the only calls shown were to Las Vegas Nevada on those days. When I call the number for billing inquires a voice asked for my contact information but did not identify that it was MCI. An internet search indicates that this is a scam.

A bill was sent to me for $6.01, my landline phone number listed as account number. Narrative reads:

"Please be advised that as of today’s date the above referenced AMOUNT DUE is at least 30 days past due. You will be blocked from gaining access to MCI a Verizon Company’s network. Once the AMOUNT DUE is paid, if you would like to have access to MCI a Verizon Company’s network, please call 1-800-226-0014 to have that request processed. Thank you."

I don’t have an arrangement with MCI a Verizon Company.
