BOLTON businesses are being warned to beware of a traditional scam.
A major Bolton company said this week that it had received an invoice for £417.10 from IT & T international business directories based in Zug, Switzerland.
Kay Gregson, director of customer services with Bolton and Bury Chamber, said they had received a similar communication from IT & T about nine months ago and there had been complaints from a number of members.
She said the danger was that accounts of this nature by-passed the usual channels and were paid without proper scrutiny. "This is an old chestnut," she said. "It must work because it is still going. We always warn members to be vigilant and look out for these things."
