This company repeatedly calls our business stating that we are past due, they call and document who they have spoken with and then proceed to call again a week or so later hoping to reach someone different. They state that whomever they spoke to last week promised payment, which is untrue as we are all aware of the scam. I asked for a copy of their w9 which appears to be whited out and written on in a couple of different places. When I let them know that we are aware of their scam, the customer service representative ignored my accusations and proceeded to request payment.

Global Business called me, they told me that we had an ink cartridge en route, but it had been damaged, and they wanted to send a replacement. They asked to confirm the address they had on file and I naively told them we were moving and gave our new address.

In hindsight, I should have realized that I didn’t order an ink cartridge, but I didn’t know if we had replacements scheduled to ship regularly, and I went with it.

Now a woman named Ruby calls and faxes continually saying we owe for one cartridge $587.45.

Total Scam

Calls to the Center to try to get us to order toner. They obtain a staff members name and then send a fake invoice for almost $500 in charges for toner that the Center did not order and did not receive. This is the second time that they have tried to get payment from our business.

We received a call from someone pretending to be from the company we lease our printer from. They said our toner prices were going up and they were going to send us some toner. They had all of our information and sent us toner and an invoice for $487.45. I called the company we lease our printer from and they said it is a scam. I reported them to our local authorities and am returning the toner with a nice note attached it.

Beware of this company!

This company called our receptionist pretending to be the company that we use to order toner for our copy machine asking her to verify copier models and telling her they have a special going on. She was unaware that we get FREE toner from our ACTUAL supplier, Konica Minolta. When the supplies came they were put away. We would have refused delivery or sent them back if management was aware this happened. Management only found out when we received a bill we were unfamiliar with and started receiving collection calls. Total scam of a company preying on low level employees trying to sneak bills into the payment system unnoticed.

This company called claiming to be a toner representative. The caller stated that they took over our at that time toner business. The caller said toner would becoming for our machines by Fedex from no one and that an invoice would be sent. An invoice was sent for toner in the amount 487.75 but no toner arrived. We contacted our toner company and they have received many calls from their current customers regarding this company! Please investigate!

This company uses a fake address, has no website or email address listed anywhere. Their phone number doesn't work and they sent a "toner cartridge" to another college with my name on it. The person who received the package looked me up and contacted me about it. We came to the conclusion that this company are scammers trying to get you to pay their invoices. Don't fall for it.

This company sent us a fake invoice last fall, which we paid in error believing it to be from a vendor authorized by the company that holds the lease on our printer. Now they are sending unsolicited "free" gifts and expensive toner cartridges along with invoices requesting payment. We have received two shipments and two invoices dated 02/23/17 and 03/23/17. One of the invoices/shipments is for two (2) cartridges, and the other is for the same except the shipment contained only one cartridge, but the invoice is for two. We are returning the product and do not wish to receive any further contact from this company. They do not answer their phone and do not return calls after messages have been left multiple times.

They call pretending to be your copy supply vendor in our case Ricoh. Get the person's name that answers the phone and then start sending invoices stating that you owe for a product that was never ordered. They also do harassing email and phone collection. I reported them to the Colorado and California attorney general's office. I would encourage anyone that has Similar dealings as myself to do the same.

Global Business Systems will call businesses and make the company believe they are calling in regards to there toner contract with other company (in our case our contract is with Sharp). When asked if the call was in regards to our Sharp contract Global Systems confirmed that it was. Our company made an order of toner and paid for the invoice. After that we started receiving toner in the mail every couple weeks or so. We did not order any additional toner or sign any contracts. Our company tried to call and cancel orders and remove any charges and they stated we could not make returns on items past a few days of receiving. Our company returned all shipments and made many attempts over the phone to correct the fraudulent charges. It is very difficult to get a hold of any one via phone and every time we were able to speak to anyone we got insufficient answers. Do not do business with Global Business Systems.

We have been receiving bills for products like printer and ink which we did not purchase from this company. When I called the company who I do use they said they are not in affiliation with Global Business Systems. When I tried looking the address up and calling the owner of the building they said they do not rent to a company called Global Business Systems. I called Global Business Systems and told them to stop sending these false bills and they just keep sending them. We paid one of them on accident months ago because on the bill my accountant saw the same type of printer as we have so she didn't know it was a scam. When she got the 2nd bill she realized it was and notified me. I called them to ask for our money back, but of course they wont and just keep sending us invoices.

Called claiming that the Office Manager (with my name) contacted their company and requested $487 toner cartridge for our copy machine over 6 months ago. We are, and have been under contract with a different company for years, and have all of our toner provided under the contract agreement. I never contacted the company, and had never heard of them before the collection call.

I explained all of this to the company, and she told me they sent a toner cartridge to our location and provided a POD (proof of delivery) to our location. We receive hundreds of boxes/week in supplies for our organization. This company apparently sent us something (I have no idea what was actually received), used MY name, and then sent us an invoice to pay 6 months later. I will not be paying the invoice, and they should be shut down.

Lauren reached out to me saying that we owe them for $487.60 worth of toner. We have our toner provided to us by a local company and do NOT deal with this company. We have never agreed to this and I do not know where they got our information from.

They are threatening to send us to collections

The office received a past-due invoice for toner for a Xerox copier, but the copier is not specified. Our finance office called the number on the invoice and told them we did not order from them. They insisted that our business had, and said if we were not to pay the invoice, then we would need to return the product to them. They sent a questionable W-9 as "proof" of their company, unwarranted, in which I used to research Global Business Systems. GBS has not been an active business since 2007, does not have a website, does not have a known office space, and their phone number leads to website where comments warn that GBS are known scammers. They continue to send past-due invoices and call our offices on a monthly basis. This has occurred over the past 8 months.

I order all of the copy/printer supplies and I was out sick. Someone from Global Business Systems happened to call that day and told one of the employees that it was time to purchase toner for our printer. He acted like we buy it from his company on a regular basis and stated how the price was going up so he should agree to get it now. Very aggressive and then cut everything off as soon as the order was accepted. When I received a $487.45 invoice from them I call to explain we do not order anything from them. I also told them we've never received a toner and if we do, it will be shipped back to them. I told them to cancel this order and provide me with a zero balance invoice. Anna "the receptionist" told me she would send the zero balance invoice and then she sent me the same invoice I already received showing the $487.45 balance. I tried to call back multiple time to get this straightened out but now no one answers.

Company will call requesting address verification saying that they are your supplier for office equipment. They will ask unsuspecting employees to verify printers make and models in the office and will ship supplies without approval. Several times they have called and we have been asked to be taken off the call list but continue to call. They will send invoices for supplies 25 - 30 times more than what you will pay in the retail store. Example $489.00 for a $20 toner. Employees are extremely rude when you call them to request credits/ refunds. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A FRAUD.... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

I received a phone call at work first from a woman stating that they had made a mistake on our account related to our copier toner cartriges and that they would be honoring our original pricing and shipping us out our toner. Being new in my role I was not familiar with how our toner was handled but I asked her to email me with details of our account and order history. The next week I received at work an invoice from this business stating the product had been shipped and we owe $487.45. I contacted the number provided and left a message. A woman who said her name was Jenny called from an unknown, private number and said our product was on backorder. I explained that I had not ordered any product and asked for our order history. She told me this was our first order. I stated that this was a deceptive practice and requested written confirmation that our order and account was deleted and she stated she could not provide anything in writing but then later said she would email me showing the account was zero. I asked to speak to a manager and she told me I'd have to call Susie at x321 but couldn't connect me. I looked up the address provided on the invoice for this company and it is a UPS store in California.
