Scammers send you an invoice or bill requesting payment for goods or services. These invoices may state that you are past the due date for payment and threaten that non-payment will affect your credit rating.
The invoices are fake and are for goods or services you haven't ordered or received. For example, you might be sent an invoice for a domain name that is very similar to your current domain name or for a small amount of stationery. The scammer hopes that you don't notice the difference and just pay the invoice.
Make sure the employee paying your invoices checks that a purchase order has been raised before they pay any invoice.
