I had a used car dealer call me up for payment for the 28 used fords he was delivering. gave me the name of the director of fleet. so I pointed out that they do all payments via wire transfer, and he would have an agreement for the payment, and a address to submit document to, not to mention I would have coppies of the PO and we didnt buy any used cars in the past 20 years here. sigh, it takes all kinds I supose. some of the kinds though it would be nice to eliminate.

We have gotten some seriously messed up stuff! I reject it when it comes in, but some of the Authorization has been from talking to voice mail! WTF!!! Anymore, I don't let any calls into the building unless I ask the person WHO is calling and WHAT company they represent and what they want. Then I either hang up on them or send them to "General mail" which I control. I know the names of our legitimate vendors and I don't let these fools pass.

Ok, you know I'm not very polically minded or not good at it, but I have noticed a huge increase in what we like to call "Paper pirates" They try to call your facility and act like they are someone else and then send you something weather or not you actually agreed to have it sent at a mark up of 300% Reallly! Who asks you to pay 800.00 for a bulk of floresent lights!? I have learned to sort these people out before they come in contact with the orderers now. Anyone calling about our Copiers the magic words are " Are you with ROPHO Sales? (Which they would never contact us) and the caller hangs up straight away. Those shippers are nasty, and it takes vigillance to make sure their shipment does not stay in your facility.
Like I said maybe not political, but def a way people try to rip off large facilities.
