I live in a house containing 2 flats..
Flat A is an empty property...
It seems like opportunist theives are targeting empty properties and sending items fraudulently to these addresses.
This man came to pick up a parcel sent to  the empty property. Royal mail left the parcel there. They tracked it. Saw it was  delivered and came the next day..
When questioned that no- one lives at flat A ( you can see it's empty), he stated that he was  moving in on the road. Then ask him what address.. he quoted the postcode, then  suddenly remembered the number of the house..
He was shaking whilst being questioned.  Then he said ok I will leave it." Why would you leave something you paid and ordered.
This is clearly fraud.
This is the photo of the man.. which in my mind was sent to pick up the parcel.
He learnt the postcode and some phoney excuse if anyone asked him.

Removed photo. This should be given to the police.

If you know who owns the flat you should tell them and if you can see which company is sending the parcels tell the owner and the owner can deal with it.

It can be quite difficult to convince companies that an address is being used fraudulently and that they should stop sending stuff. But it is a problem when the invoices are linked to that address and go unpaid in terms of credit ratings, bailiffs etc so the flat owner definitely needs to know.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
