WATDA would like to thank 5 Corners Pontiac GMC for alerting us to this new scam: The dealer notes "This scam invoice was sent to our store 8/10/06. The named manager has been gone for 2 years." The invoice also had the dealership name incorrectly. The dealership received an invoice from: Value Added Selling 21 Business 21 Publishing 453A Baltimore Pike Springfield PA 19064 The invoice was for: Annual subscription for 3 copies of Value Added Selling 21 The invoice had the name of a former sales manager as the purchaser and appeared legit -- that is unless you consider that the dealer never ordered anything from this company. They also never received anything. As a reminder, it is a good business practice to require purchase orders for all purchase and to refuse payment without a purchase order.
