Am I liable for a Lien Claim in this (below described) situation?

North CarolinaMechanics Lien

I own property and have contracted Concrete work which is now happening. Yesterday a Concrete Truck (from "RC") showed up at my house, (with my address on the order) and was refused by my Contractor, who claimed it was ordered by a different person / company. (yes, it's fishy.) The Concrete truck returned to the RC lot. RC have told me that the order was placed by a different person (with different company name) from my contractor. My contractor claims to not know who ordered it. Now RC says they have been advised by their legal counsel to "inform me that they intend to file a lien on my property for payment of the Concrete delivery", which I did not authorize, or order. Do they have grounds for a lien? It seems to me this would be a Fraudulent Lien since they have no contract with me (the property owner, or interested party) and I did not authorize the delivery, or commit to making payment. Thanks in advance for any advice!
