This came a few years ago in a company where I worked, and then me exactly what happened in another same.
Call a lady (in this case were numbers of Barcelona) with security, when he had an outstanding bill from a book. The book always has a name quite "official." In our case it was "Trade Directory" or "Report expoter" or something similar. In both cases called a distribution company. The woman I confirmed all invoice data (name, address, zip code, all that we can find in the yellow pages and in the end I asked the account number on the invoice).
That's when you say, but who has asked for that book and I said the manager or person responsible for administration. In both cases he knew that was impossible because being a small company we knew there had been no such request. If I said I had insisted the order signed and faxed to you. The fax never came.
On one occasion they called (possibly more than one person involved in this) a friend gave him the account number.
A few days later I get a charge to the account of about 80 - 90 euros (on behalf of such Susana Castaño) that logically returned. Never did any book, nor would arrive.
To what is this scam?
suppose to take a list of companies and called them all. Many sting, especially those organized or larger worse or decentralized. Then make a charge in mind that if companies realize they earn it. Possibly even if not returned the money they send you a folletillo that no one has asked for a respectable sum of money.
Given the low cost that has to call companies and how easy it is to bite the companies I guess it's quite profitable. After addition would be very easy to say that they had asked the telephone book, which has the back cover.
So much eye to strangers who ask for your account number and above all we must continually review the bank statement to see that no improper charges.
