Repairtel.com - Usedphones.com Sent Unsolicited Fax Advertisements disguised as Invoices Simi Valley California

We recieved a fax from this company which, resembled an invoice. Our accounts payable department was almost ready to cut a check and send in the payment when they noticed that the customer info was incorrect on the invoice.

After calling this company up and inquireing on the invoice, the company informed us that this was only an advertisment (Unsolicited Fax - FCC Violation) made to look like an invoice.

Then, on the bottom, where it says, "Total," it also reads, "Make all checks payable to:"
