Attorney General Issues
Warning On 'Bill' Gimmick
Attorney General Rufus Edmis
ten warned business firms in the
state that there is an apparent
scheme to collect money by sending
out solicitations designed to look
like bills for accounts due.
Describing what he called decep
tive looking solicitations for adver
tising. he said, "It looks like a bill
to me and certainly should be
checked out carefully. In response
to a number of complaints from
tarheel business firms, the Con
sumer Protection Section of our
office has begun an investigation."
While the two known solicita
tions are identical in form, they
originate from seemingly separate
sources. One, from National Busi
>i ness Association Directory, shows a
post office box address in Boston,
Mass. 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.
