Scam alert! Fraudsters continue to use BMRA members' details.

4th August 2010

Earlier this year we advised that a BMRA member's company details had been used in attempts to conduct fraudulent activity. We have now been made aware of another similar scam, in which a member's details were used to seek advance payments for scrap to be exported to India.

There is little that members can do to stop the scams apart from keeping an eye out for internet links to their company names using popular internet search engines to check whether their details are being misused to conduct fraudulent activity. If any member discovers material on the Internet that suggests their company details could be at risk they should report the matter to the police immediately. Companies can also contact the Office of Fair Trading (08454 040506).
