Small businesses beware – don’t let scammers slip under your radar with invoices for unwanted services
Adepto admitted that they had made false and misleading representations in relation to advertising services that were never requested. Even if small businesses did not agree to take out an ad, Adepto posted them a copy of the ad as published in the publication and an invoice seeking payment. If the business did not pay, Adepto representatives made follow-up calls demanding payment for the unwanted and unordered ad. How these scams start: You receive a call from someone claiming to represent a business directory or publication you’ve never heard of...
