Fake invoices for consumables
Posted on:
GP Alert
Our counter fraud provider has alerted us to a new company targeting GP practices by sending unsolicited printer toner and other consumables, which they then invoice for. This follows a number of frauds against GP practices from various fake company names issuing fraudulent invoices.
No invoices for consumables (printer toner etc) requiring payment to PRECISION SUPPLIES should be paid, unless you are confident you have ordered and received the items.
Actions
- Flag any invoices requiring payment to Precision Supplies.
- Review any invoices thoroughly to ensure the goods were ordered and received, prior to making payment.
- Confirm the details of any bank transfer using the banking Confirmation of Payee (COP) system, which is available on most banking apps.
- Do not make any payments to bank account number 04-00-03 06927195.
- Refer any false invoices received to your ICB’s LCFS, or the NHS CFA.
