According to the Alabama Concrete Industries Association, concrete companies are being targeted by “an unknown source” who is purchasing concrete using stolen credit cards and fake identification cards.
Concrete companies in Alabama are falling victim to a scam that started popping up late last year.
Association President John S. Sorrell said the fraud was reported in Tennessee a few years ago, but has been reported this year in Birmingham, Dothan, Anniston, Tuscaloosa and Guntersville.According to the association, concrete companies are being targeted by “an unknown source” who is purchasing concrete using stolen credit cards and fake identification cards.
Homeowners who answer the ad place the order with the unknown source, which then orders the concrete from a reputable concrete company. The source pays for the concrete, using a stolen credit card and a false ID, such as an altered driver license, to match the credit card owner.
