Using Property for Fraudulent deliveries

[Marcia123]

 

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.

It’s just a photo of a man. I’d take it down.

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.
