Scam Warning from Trading Standards - Fake Invoices

Norfolk County Council Trading Standards service has received information from schools that have been sent invoices for items which have not been ordered. These invoices can be for a variety of resources including DVDs, text books, software and reference material. The invoices are often for small amounts, usually £30 or below.

Trading Standards would like to remind all Norfolk schools to take care when paying invoices and ensure they are for items which have actually been ordered. If you need further information on this, or your school has received invoices for items not ordered please contact Trading Standards on 0344 800 8013 or trading.standards@norfolk.gov.uk.
