Sales Scams
Purchasing has received notice from a department that a company has been using devious methods to obtain payments and commitment for additional payments.  Apparently this company will record your call if you phone to question an invoice and play back part of the call later, when it is again questioned, as proof of purchase.  The complaining department also claims that a check from this company has been received and inadvertently deposited.  This action commits the department for further charges in a familiar scheme.  A quick web check indicates that other organizations have had similar experiences with this company. 

Be alert to such scams.  Every invoice should have a purchase order number that can be easily verified otherwise it should be discarded.  If the company cannot produce a purchase order number for the purchase they have no sale.    Posted 03/16/04, edited 7/9/04.
