Small business advertising scam

[FastPhil]

Another shitty thing to migrate here from Europe. They tried it on me for the first time today. Call themselves Emergency Services Report or something similar and tell you that you booked a place for an ad with them last month. Then say they will send you a proof and invoice. I told them I placed no such ad and politely asked them to leave me alone. Then did some research and found it was a scam...

Just thought I would post a heads up for the small business owners among us.

Similar thing here on the North Coast. They print a small magazine with an add for your business and others in the area ( unsolicited ) put a copy of the mag in your letterbox. Then send you a bill for the add hoping you silly enough to pay it.
