Following on from the thread about stupid criminals .....
Just received a call from the French Embassy in London regarding the non payment of invoice for goods as supplied by a French company. Looking at the paperwork someone has forged our details onto an order form, used a mobile phone as the only contact with delivery to an address 200 miles away.
Apart from the basic address and company detail typos in the form the order was placed by fax, having never had any telephone contact with the supplier and never having prior dealings between the 2 companies.
The supplier has shipped the goods to the 3rd party address without making contact and incredibly without asking for payment or any deposit (this is the first order with them). Total is in excess of 15,000 Euros.
Who in their right mind sends goods to that value without any payment, contact or history check? Naturally the police are now involved.
