The perfect scam...


The expat cyclist

Recommended Posts

I read about an invoicing scam in the mid 1990's before the internet really took hold. Two young men set about invoicing medium to corporate companies across the USA for small service amounts due. The amounts were small enough to not attract attention, and once they were in the companies' system they just billed monthly without question. If there was a query early on they just did an "oops, mistake, we'll refund you", until a determined clerk unravelled the scheme which these two had been running for close on four years against over 250 companies.

Yes, they got it back. Not sure what the story is, I think it ties in with a guy working at a bike shop that had a cr@p load of bikes at his home and selling the parts and possibly fixing bikes in his spare time. There was a 15page thing about it on  the hub a while ago.
