    Very quick google suggests this is an invoice scam.Once you agree they will chase you for the money mercilessly,according to a warning by ASA.Another poster on a forum suggests not to agree as they record your conversation and use this as part of the contract.Cant comment on that but,this particular company was not mentioned but a different one.Hope this little bit of info helps. look at the site called workplace law and search on fake invoice scam.Sounds like several similar companies doing this scam have been closed down-may be worth contacting the pc mentioned in the article to see who is currently dealing with these type of scammers.
