****** funds - Builders warehouse.

We engaged a building contractor without realizing that we needed to open a builder's account. When we accompanied the contractor to Builders North Riding to buy building materials at a cost of R58723.55, we were surprised to discover that the funds had been deposited into the contractor's builder's account. Fortunately, an employee at Builders North Riding suspected irregular activities and contacted us. It turned out that the contractor had been visiting various builder stores in Johannesburg, returning items for cash. Due to security concerns as we were told, Builders was unable to block the individual's profile, at this time R38000 was gone. However a ******** case has been opened.
