Office Supply Scam:
An office supply
scam is a scam that involves you receiving and being charged
for goods that you did not order. These scams often involve
goods or services that you regularly order such as paper,
printing supplies, maintenance supplies or advertising. You
might receive a phone call from someone claiming to be your
‘regular supplier’, telling you that the offer is a
‘special’ or available ‘for a limited time only’. If you
agree to buy any of these supplies that are offered to you,
they will often be overpriced and bad quality.
Protect your business:
1. Know
who you buy from.
2. Track
your purchases and payments.
3. Buy
when you need to buy and buy what you need. Don’t buy
something you don’t need just because there is a discount
promotion. |
