Just had a pretty convincing call telling me that, several months back, my tiny business sponsored a scheme to provide books to schools to prevent drug abuse. It's a total scam as here:
Publication fraud | Action Fraud
Said I had no recollection of doing so and, since they did not ask me for any bank details, I assume I will get a fake invoice later.
But surely anyone with enough sense to run a business would check online before they paid anything, so how can it work? Same with those people who claim a bank account has been compromised and send somebody to collect a card. It only takes one savvy person to pretend to agree and then call the police and they'll get caught.
Some scams are a mystery.
