    Most corporates now want proof of your account details, all tax compliance etc etc before approving you as a supplier. Even THEN the funds get paid into someone elses account and nobody fixes the problem. I have simply walked away slightly poorer and highly irritated with a corporate who I refuse to supply. So yup Dave it is a new excuse for late payment in the making.

    It's happening, folks. Be careful. I got an email notice today from a company we do business with advising that their bank details had not changed. Attached was a copy of one of the fraudulent letters that had been sent.

    Looking at it, it just has to be an inside job. If I had got that notice, I would have been none the wiser. It even quoted the contract number!
