Bogus firm scammers swindle rebar suppliers

Scammers are targeting rebar suppliers to order deliveries in the name of bogus or cloned firms that vanish without paying.
The sudden outbreak of orders from bogus and cloned firms has caused the industry trade body to raise the alarm about the swindle.
More than £112,000 of mesh has been reported to have gone missing in the last week alone.But the British Association of Reinforcement believes the full extent of the scam has not fully come to light and could run into millions of pounds.
