Received fake invoice via fax
The invoice amount was 98.80 - as many people have reported here.
Another $98.80 Fake Bill to add to the rest above.
Delta SEO Fake Invoice by Fax
They have our name & URL wrong. We don't do any bills by fax.
Called the 800 # & I got a busy signal (called out of curiosity)
Sad you have to watch for fake invoices on top of everything else.
Fake FAX Invoice
Invoicing SCAM
FAXING FAKES LOL
The accountant came to me [as IT Director], because this was the first time she had seen such an Invoice and wasn't sure if it was a bill she needed to start paying. I checked with our website guy, who we actually pay to do SEO; and he says that he had not out-sourced or used DeltaSEO; and I knew that I had never hired or even heard of this company before. Our website guy suggested it looked like "snail mail SPAM"; and I think he is right.
The invoice did not contain any business details not freely available on the internet; so it would have been very easy for them to grab basic info about our company and website and then add it to a fake invoice.
I went to the website noted on the invoice, to see if I could find out more about this company. I found a phone number. But, when you call, you get a message directing you to send an email. Naturally, this seemed a bit dodgy. I mean: Why would you put a phone number on your website that only has a message directing people to send email? Companies that don't intend to take phone calls, DO NOT stupidly add their phone number to their websites. So it seems likely that the phone number is there, because it makes the website look more legitimate. If not, there does NOT appear to be any other reason for it, unless I am missing something.
Either this company is yet another scam or they simply have no idea what they are doing. Since we are NOT clients of theirs, I cannot imagine that they might accidentally send us an invoice that was intended for one of their legitimate customers. But that is what we would have to assume, unless we conclude that this company is [most likely] a scam. And, even if they are a legit company that actually does real work, they still sent us what appears to be a fake invoice. So I thought I would report it.
Given the relatively low invoiced amount (less than $100), I would NOT be surprised if accounting departments might end up simply paying this bill; rather than trying to take the time to confirm its validity. And this might be the very nature of this scam: I think they are hoping their fake invoice reaches a lazy, over-worked accounting department who, given the relatively small invoice amount, isn't going to bother checking the validity of the payment, before sending. And, if enough accounting departments do this, I imagine this might be a good business for DeltaSEO.
If DeltaSEO turns out to be a legit company, then they need to make a few changes, so they don't look like a scam. And the first thing they need to do is to ensure they don't ask people to send them money, when they are not owed anything, because they have provided no products or services.
