I don't know the details but what the article is reporting seems pretty bad. Why did that person receive an invoice from your partners' business book, if he was not signed up for it?

Or are going to say that it was not really an invoice, but an advertisement? In my opinion small business owners do not usually confuse an advertisement with an invoice, or otherwise they would not stay in business for long.

So if that person says it was an invoice, it probably looked like one.

The prosecution was asked to provide evidence that people received an invoice that had not signed up for the service. They were asked to provide a list of the businesses that complained and/or claimed fraud. They did not produce either. They just kept throwing out the same few numbers but never provided anything of substance to back up the numbers they claimed.
