Using invoices from real and false companies is a common way of being defrauded. This is why we recommend that you only use the full legal names of your Suppliers and validate them using the Government run company databases – the ‘Companies Office’ in New Zealand and ‘ASIC’ in Australia.

An ex-Mediaworks employee has been sentenced to three years in prison after stealing nearly half-a-million dollars from the company.
Rebecca Boyce invoiced the company from real and false companies between 2013 and 2015. She used the invoices to claim money from her colleagues’ credit cards, as well as one in her own name.
Boyce sobbed with her back to the public gallery as she was sentenced in the Auckland District Court on Monday. Her supporters also cried.

The court heard she spent the money on concert tickets and high-end clothing.
The total amount came to $458,094
