These notices are deliberately designed to fool the recipient into paying for something they don’t need, doesn’t bring any benefit, or doesn’t even exist.
No matter what the invoice says, always check with your website services provider before paying anything you receive online, through email, by mail, or fax.
If you paid an invoice like this, contact your credit card company and let them know you fell victim to a scam.
