Nah just invoice for printer ink, and there is a good chance someone pays it.
Like when that guy scammed google out of 120mil with fake invoices
That's impressive. Usually the target organizations with a lot of autonomy, but poor payment controls. Like school districts... the schools usually have the autonomy to enter into their own small contracts, but a central office has no idea what invoices are legitimate without calling every school for each invoice.
So, would that even be a crime as long as you sent them the ink with a 10000% markup?
Depends on how contract savvy you are... if you word it as a service contract where acceptance is payment, you can sometimes get away with not sending them anything.
But generally yes, that's what you would do. Often times it's ink for a discontinued machine that nobody uses before. The ink itself is probably recalled.
