Fake marina invoice?

[ashtead]

Has anyone ever been sent an invoice by email from a marina they visited 2 years ago but just for electricity charges? I won't name the marina as am investigating but I just thought it worth sharing as the amounts involved are small but multiplied by number of visitors could rake in a tidy sum . I am just wondering if I ignore or contact local police though? The invoice looks genuine but a number of features look odd not least as I have the receipt and have checked the rates applying in 2016 .

Yes. I was surprised to see the invoice in my emails, but on opening it was for £0.00. Electric use in Jersey Marina from 2 years ago .

Two years, Ignore it. Bit of a cheek really.

Drop them an email and ask for proof of use.

I have sent an email off today using the address as per the website of the Port as opposed to one on email and await a response. I feel I should set the record straight if they really are pursuing a debt as I might revisit . In the meantime have scanned my card receipt in case needed but I wonder what evidence they have to show I didn't pay ?

Is this a Sage online invoice by any chance? If so it’s almost certainly another example of the sophisticated Sage scam that doing the rounds.

It's not immediately obvious it's Sage produced but the comment above from John about an invoice for£ 0.00 from Jersey indicates some issue exists with marina system and controls on electronic invoicing and data retention.

OK. Not the same thing, the Sage scam is branded Sage all over, it's very convincing. I'll bail out here. Sorry for any confusion
