Nah just invoice for printer ink, and there is a good chance someone pays it.
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.
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.
