Fake invoices have been around forever. In the last century, entrepreneurs were bombarded with invoices for the listing of fax numbers. Then came fake Chamber of Commerce companies offering trade name registrations, and since this century we have been spammed with fake invoices relating to trademark applications or renewals. The crooks — or rather, fraudsters — are becoming increasingly brazen. Whereas the invoices were initially still sent by companies with names that closely resembled those of the official trademark authorities, such as EUIPA instead of EUIPO, nowadays they are taking things a step further.
