We received an invoice for a business directory listing we never ordered. Looks official. How do others handle these without paying fear?

No PO, no payment. We file these as solicitations and verify any real vendor through known contacts.

I keep a folder of known scam invoice templates for staff training — no need to publish them.

Threatening collections language is often bluff. When unsure, legal counsel offline beats forum legal advice.
