Toner Pirates
are usually obscure companies that operate telemarketing units. These
Pirates call unsuspecting businesses and misrepresent themselves as
the company’s legitimate toner supplier. They usually ask to
"verify" the model of your copier, fax or printer. Once
they find the model of the machines used, they send a large quantity
of supplies and bill much higher prices. It’s not unheard of
to be billed ten times the regular price for the same product. Generally
larger organizations are more susceptible to this type of scam. To
