Dealers should review all invoices to make sure they're legitimate.
The Illinois Automobile Dealers Association offers these guidelines:
Check all paperwork closely, watching especially for invoices and checks from unusual places.
Scrutinize any solicitations that attempt to collect on products or services outside the scope of normal business.
Confirm orders with the firm and whomever supposedly authorized the purchase.
Avoid payment until you know the goods or services were ordered and received.
