Prologue Accounts Payable Departments, how may I help you? Hi, this is N.O. Pence from FraudFighters. Calling about invoice FF001of EUR 100,-. We did not receive a payment yet, can you check why? According to the system, we have paid the invoice in amount of EUR 250,- on June 12th. We didn’t receive any payment. Which bank account did you pay in to? Did you say EUR 250,-? The invoice is only EUR 100,-?
