A company impersonating the legitimate business LAING O'ROURKE PLC has been involved in a fraudulent scheme under the guise of Laing O'Rourke Engineering Limited.
Using the name Robert Turner and the email address info@laingorourkeengineering.co.uk, the imposters have deceived individuals by promising the delivery of shipping containers, which were never provided. Victims were tricked into making payments with an invoice that falsely used Laing O'Rourke's address and phone number. A company was notably defrauded of £1,600, a sum they believed they could reclaim as VAT.
Laing O'Rourke Engineering Limited is falsely registered to an Adam Richard Redit at 9 Mytchett Place Road, Mytchett, Camberley, England, GU16 6DF.
It is crucial to remain vigilant about such fraudulent activities and report any suspicions to the police immediately.
