British architects targeted by Chinese fraudsters

摘要

British architects have been targeted by Chinese imposters who have stolen their identities, cloned their websites and submitted bids using their names. Broadway Malyan has had its website cloned and a fake project pitch submitted, while Aedas had to close down a company that had registered in the UK under its name and was bidding for work with the Chinese government. A source close to Broadway Malyan said that suspicions had been raised in the last couple of weeks when a client contacted the company to ask whether it had put in a bid for a Chinese contract.
