Fraudulent invoices have been detected in the international Peppol network. The invoices have been framed as offers presented in the form of invoices. Invoices have also been sent to Finnish companies. The content of the invoices has been in English.
The Peppol network only transmits invoices between companies, not to private individuals. If your company has received a fraudulent invoice, it should not be paid. Reject the invoice and notify your Peppol service provider. Also note that an attempt at fraud is a crime and should be reported to the police.
As Finland’s Peppol authority, the State Treasury is investigating the matter together with OpenPeppol, relevant Peppol authorities in other countries, and Peppol service providers. Finland’s Peppol authority has also contacted Finnish Peppol service providers.
