Vitaliy, you're just not getting it.

I'm not talking about LEGITIMATE bills, I'm talking about bills
companies send that you have NO obligation to pay, in the hope that you
pay it without realizing you had no obligation to pay.

We here at work once received a bill. Doesn't sound too unusual, and
most companies would quickly look at it and since it was from a supplier
we regularly use, would just pay it.

What that company DIDN'T know is my group in this very large company is
very small and we are VERY careful with every single bill we get.

We looked at it and it was clear that something was wrong. I can't get
into the details but suffice it to say the motives were clear: the
company that was SUPPOSED to pay this bill didn't, and since we were on
the other end they sent us the bill, hoping we'd just pay it.

We didn't. Most companies probably do.
