We have vendors using squareup and a few people use their work account as personal so I can't block their domain entirely. Squareup has been unresponsive on killing a scammer's account I just ended up blocking squareup completely for that user. I've been finding fraudulent Paypal, squareup, and intuit/quickbook invoices straight from those services and random takeover accounts/domains not part of those systems. They raised a real invoice for $500 and in the information where you're supposed to put details about the invoice they had just put 'This money will be invoiced immediately, If you wish to contact us about this charge, please phone xxx xxxx xxx', at which point you end up with a scam call centre who will work you through some sort of banking refund scam like you see on Kitboga, Jim Browning and Mark Rober et al.īut for all intents and purposes, this looks like a real email that has genuinely come from PayPal, because it really has genuinely come from PayPal. PayPal lets you use them for invoicing, if you have a PayPal business account (or more likely if scammers have access to a compromised PayPal business account) you can go 'Create me an invoice, send it to this email address, with this information in it' It was then I realised what the scammers had done. Now I obviously this tripped my scam senses, but it had made it to my inbox through google's spam stuff and I couldn't immediately work out how it was a scam, the email appeared genuine, it did actually come from PayPal, it had passed SPF, DKIM etc, all links went to genuine PayPal URLs. You will still be able to purchase Glendon Place designs in your local needlework shops if they carry my line.I thought you folks might be interested in an email scam I received yesterday an email that said I had an outstanding invoice that needed to be paid from PayPal.

NOTE: Businesses are exempt for VAT, but will be required to provide a valid VRN at the time of purchase. The truth of the matter is that the quantity and dollar amount of sales I make to these 28 countries on an annual basis simply does not justify what it would take to make my website VAT Tax compliant. Businesses that choose to continue to sell in these European countries would have to register for a VAT number, set up their websites to charge this VAT tax and remit those taxes to each individual member country on a quarterly basis.Īfter much thought and consideration, I have made the decision to no longer sell in the countries residing in the European Union to include:Īustria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Crotia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithunia, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. VAT is a consumption tax that applies to all goods and services, whether physical or digital, can range from 17% to 27% of the total sale depending on the country, and must be assessed by the seller of the goods and services, regardless of whether the business resides within the European Union or is a non-European Union business, such as Glendon Place. Starting July 1st, 2021, sales made to consumers residing in member countries within the European Union (EU) will be required to charge consumers a “Value-Added Tax” or “VAT tax,” which will have to be paid by the consumer receiving the goods, or optionally by the shipper or by the marketplace the sale happened on. Attention All Retail Customers Residing In The European Union (EU)
