UNSOLICITED FAXES RECEIVED BY BOGUS COMPANY

My office received one earlier this week and found it very strange - it is an April invoice and indicates it is billed to Kevin Batesman out of Collon, Utah PLUS, it is in the amount of $6000.00 for business lists. Believing that they had made a mistake I simply filed it in the circular file cabinet.

Just a little while ago I received another unsolicited fax from Forsythe Date Equipment Co. This time I decided to do a Goggle search on them. This is what I found...

Forsythe Data Equipment Co.
Unsolicited faxes received by South Plains businesses

If you have received an unsolicited fax like the one here from Forsythe Data Equipment Co. out of San Diego, California, your BBB advises caution!

Your BBB office received one this week and found it very strange - it is an April invoice and indicates it is billed to Kevin Batesman out of Collon, Utah PLUS, it is in the amount of $6000.00 for business lists. We think the "hook" is to get credit card and bank information from the recipient because there is a credit application that comes with the cover fax. Even though it says to fax the information, no fax number is given. We were afraid that someone would snail-mail the credit card information, not realizing this was a "bogus" invoice, to the address given.

We have checked our national database and find no listing for Forsythe Data Equipment Co. and no phone listing for the company either. BBB San Diego has no information in their files.

Best thing to do is warn your office staff and file this one in the "round" file!!

Forsythe Data Equipment Co is faxing 9 pages of bogus invoices totalling 6,000.00 to individuals in different states. This is now the second time this "company" has wasted my ink and paper. And since they block out the fax number on their fax form I can’t even block their fax number from my fax machine.
