Bad Company
A sign of a truly fucked company
I got this invoice in my email today. It was from a company that we never did business with. Never even talked to. It was a huge bill that going all the way back to December.
I wish I thought of this, just send random people invoices and maybe some will pay!
Why are they fucked?
1. Ever hear of a customer database? They apparently got my name from a domain name that listed me as the Administrative contact. That means they don't even have a contact database or a billing contact. That is fuck one.
2. Why are they invoicing 9 months late? If you can't keep your bills straight, you are truly fucked.
3. Reference an account, invoice, something!
