AF uncover identity theft​

2 August 2013​

A group has set up a website offering to buy and sell second-hand tractors, diggers, telehandlers and dumpers using the identity of agronomy group Prime Agriculture LLP.​

The site - www.prime-agriculture.com - claims to be Prime Agriculture LLP and uses Prime Agriculture LLP's company registration number and registered address, which is the AF site at Honingham Thorpe.​

This came to light after a Norwegian farmer rang the AF office to check details prior to transferring a significant sum of money as a deposit on a purchase.​

Prime Agriculture has no knowledge of this operation and the police have been alerted. Members are being warned not to buy through this site.​

The business I work for has also had a clone business set up & someone has been trying to buy goods in our name. They have set up a website complete with an up to date (and quite accurate) blog using company details freely available from Companies House plus somehow they have found out our bank details too. One direct debit went through despite no signed mandate form & we were able to stop any more as well as get our money back.

It's quite common, apparently.

Purely by coincidence, we are members of Anglia Farmers...
