The other, from Global Business and Industrial Directory, , shows a street address in Los Angeles, Cal. Edmisten said, "Business aad industries should warn their ae* S departments about these andaottfy the Container > Section immediately If aay are discovered. I eatr^ see, J unsuspecting accounting personnel thinking that these are legitimate bills for ads already published. In fact, most of these documents are being routed 'directly to the atten tion of accounting departments." None of the complainants bought advertising from the two named firms. The majority of the invoice look-alikes describe half-page ads in to-be-published business or in dustrial directories for amounts ranging from $199 to $299. A notice in small print at the bottom of each solicitation states that it is an order with no obligation to pay unless accepted and that it is not a bill, but Attorney General Edmisten said that, "small print denials aren't sufficient. The solicitations look like invoices and tend to mislead businesses into thinking they owe a bill." Anyone with information con cerning this problem should report to the Consumer Protection Section of the Attorney General's office in Raleigh. / JxlF v-.H: 5 PARENTS -?
