The Alabama Concrete Industries Association reports more than $200,000 worth of concrete has been purchased by scammers using stolen credit cards and fake identification (ID) cards.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Alabama Concrete Industries Association is warning Alabamians looking to purchase concrete to be careful who you buy from. The latest scam to hit the state is targeting ready-mix concrete companies.
Once the victim of the stolen credit card receives notification of the purchase of the concrete on their card and reports the unauthorized purchase, the credit card company demands restitution from the concrete company. Industry leaders have now requested the help of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency State Bureau of Investigation to investigate this scam.
