honestly i wonder how many corpos you could just send an invoice to the right email and it would get paid no questions asked
@alice Heard stories about it being actually not that uncommon but I think the risk of getting a sentence if you're discovered is maybe too high
@Nocta_Senestra yea but for what. sending an invoice? if you're not like out right lying on the invoice you can't even be blamed for anything
@alice Hmmm I'm pretty sure if you're billing a service that doesn't exist it's still considered fraud
@Nocta_Senestra service: security consultant
description (not on invoice): i have investigated invoicing practices. bad.
cost: 5000 euros, vat exempt

@alice @Nocta_Senestra please don't do that

but also it would be funny

@Claire @Nocta_Senestra genuine question what's the worst that could happen?
i dont think its breaking any law? at worst someone emails you within 14 days asking for a refund and then you're obligated to do it unless they signed it away separately.

im not doing it because it would be more accounting burden than i'd ever want (and you definitely want some starting capital for a dedicated bank account/corp) but it seems fully legal as long as you dont lie about entirely fake services or previous agreements
@alice @Claire I'm pretty sure you don't want to go to court to check out if it is, but as long as you're not too greedy/diversify the companies I guess it won't be worth it for each one individually to bring you in court
