Love & Money
Source: Printing Industry Credit Bureau, February 5, 2025
There is a resurgence of an old scam in which a supposed customer requests a quote, sends payment, and the unsuspecting recipient fulfills the order—only to later discover that the payment was either fraudulent or altered. By that time, the victim has already invested in materials, postage, and labor, making it too late to recover the losses.
The only way to stop these criminals is to raise awareness.
PICB shared the following cautionary poem for Valentine's Day:
When it’s love at first sight, risky behavior might take a bite!
Trusting customers who are not yet known
may result in slow-pays, no-pays, and recovering your money may be a fight!
But with PICB as Cupid on your side, your profits may yet be sewn
because those non-paying swine can’t take flight
when PICB’s due diligence reveals their truth and their con is blown
your profits are saved which is our delight!
Whether you need training in credit granting procedures, assistance and tools for risk analysis, or professional debt collection of your delinquent accounts, PICB's staff of dedicated managers pledge to provide you superior service at affordable rates.
