Our company received an invoice in the mail from IT Admin (ITA), stating that we purchased 2 Copystar 6053 Supplies, invoice total of $1218.55. No one in our company ordered anything from ITA. ITA then left 2 voice mail messages stating the invoice is past due and needs to be paid. Again we checked to see if anyone was familiar with the order from ITA. We then looked ITA up on ScamPulse.com and found numerous complaints with the same exact information and the amount due of $1218.55. There address is actually a virtual office space https://www.opusvirtualoffices.com/virtual-office/new-york/new-york/location-237…⇄ The person that emailed an invoice was Debra Mitchell in the "Receivables Dept," of the virtual office for ITA!

Knowing that the ScamPulse.com is always wanting to keep on top of these things, I was pleased to find I was right with my suspicions about the invoice that came in the mail to our business on October 13, 2020. Several red flags came up — 1) I had never heard of this company 2) it was dated September 15 but was postmarked from California on October 9 3) when I tried to track the 800 number, it was someplace in the southwestern US 4) the PO number said "verbal" 5) for these printer supplies (and yes we did have that model printer) my boss would buy locally 99 % of the time 6) the fine print of ‘terms and agreements’ on the back was printed so faintly it was very difficult to read 7) the other fine print says "IT ADMIN is not affiliated with any other supplier. Supplies are warehoused at no charge until delivery is requested. Shipped Overnight (at no charge as stated on the back) I don’t know of very many printer/copier machine "emergencies", right? 8) there was absolutely NO website or email contact address given! Thanks ScamPulse.com for giving me the proof I needed. Keep up the good work!

Invoice for copier supplies for $1,218.55 from a company we do not do business with nor did anyone at the company order from. calling the number dumps into a voicemail to leave a message with "customer" information and expect a call back within 48 hours. Appears that "ITA Admin" calls business main numbers then asks for the copier model that the company has and the primary contact for office/copier supplies. This information is then used to generate a fake invoice.

We don’t do business with IT ADMIN. This raised a red flag. we had received a call from someone, they didn’t give a name, about 2 weeks ago, saying that our Sharp copier (they already knew the brand) was offline and wanted specific details about it. They were not given specific info, however, the admin who took the call transferred the caller (male) to someone else. When that other person answered the call, the caller stated that they were with FedEx and wanted to verify our shipping address. This was done, the caller than asked for the name of the person he was speaking with & was given it. We asked the caller if they were going to be delivering a package and they hung up. On 8/12/19 an invoice was received for 2 ea. of toner for a Sharp copier. We hadn’t ordered toner. We researched and found that this company appears to be involved in fraudulent behaviors.

They did all their homework, then attempted to email our AP Department with an invoice in the total amount of $1,218.55 for 2 items with a description name of "Hewlett Packard Laserjet Pro MFP M477 Supplies". Our AP Department reached out to the IT Department (myself) questioning this invoice. I did some looking into it and found that several other companies had the same issue with them. The phone number is just a number to some "Customer Service Center", nobody answers they only leave you with and option of leaving a voicemail.

We lease our companys’ copiers and printers so this Invoice didn’t make sense.
They actually called to check status on the Invoice and why it hasn’t been paid.
I asked them to email it to me ( so that I could have more information about them) they emailed the Bogus Invoice.
I asked them to send me a signed receipt for what they billed for, she told me that they needed payment first before they shipped the supplies so there was no signed receipt. I told her we didn’t have an open purchase order for these copy supplies, she offered to cancel the order. She gave me a cancellation number and we hung up.

We got an invoice for $1218.55 for (2) printers, the same one we have here in office and shipping costs. We never received or ordered these from them. After googling that business name, BBB.org came up and it turns out this is a scam company where they just expect people to pay the invoice.

My name is *** ***, and I work at ***, located at *** ** *** *** Findlay, OH 45840. I am an Information Technologies administrator, and I was engaged by our Accounts Payable department, regarding an invoice, which was received via USPS. I have attached the fake invoice, for your review. After being reviewed by my Accounts Payable department, they had scanned it and sent it to me, for validation, before paying. I was not aware of these charges, and it didn’t take me long to realize this was a scam. A quick Google search on the address yielded a fake company called "IT USA" and "IT Admin". The address does not exist on Google Maps, and when calling the 800 number, the voicemail says "Thanks, for calling Customer Service." The company name isn’t even played in the voice recording, nor is there a dial-by name directory. The recording also explains that "If I know my parties extension, that I can dial it at anytime", but no other numbers are recognized. Dialing 0 doesn’t do anything, either. So, fake invoice, fake address, fake phone, with fake company voicemail.
Also, if you have any questions, regarding this submission, please, contact me by phone or email. I am available from 8:00 am until 4:30 PM ET, Monday through Friday.
One more thing: I was required to fill out the "About the Person Scammed" section, of this web form, in order to submit this scam report; however, this was concerning a business, not a person.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
A fraudulent invoice was mailed to the office referencing an actual employee as a company contact as well as a $100.00 incentive for the processor of payment for the invoice. . A phone call was also received from IT Admin asking for payment status of invoice followed by an email with 2 attachments which were phishing devices.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
The invoice from IT Admin was sent to my office for items we never requested or received. I didn’t know this company; they had all my contact information and even the type of copier they claimed we bought supplies for. I wonder how many companies just pay the invoice.

I called the number listed on the invoice and left a message.
