multipul names going to same address

Post by Hammer59 »

I have noticed a lot of different surnames going to an address. Is there anything that I should do in case it is a scam ?

The easiest thing to do is to flag it up, if the DOM says it looks sus then he can pass it on to the next line of contact. I have recently stumbled across a scam concerning suspect mail being posted in pillar boxes. Showed the mail to DOM who forwarded it onto Revenue Protection who subsequently forwarded it onto the Security team.

because it maybe some elderly people getting scammed, takes no time to flag it up if there's a pattern if you definitely know who lives there

Come on, now. It's not a lapsed walk. Some semblance of service is still due.

I wouldn't get involved unless maybe you see a lot of those DHSS credit envelopes with the green and white stripes round the edges. It could be one of the those houses where people sleep in shifts in multiple bunk beds.

Used to see this a lot, especially with those brown benefit envelopes. Wasnt unusual to see half a dozen names to same address. Don't see them so much now.
