Fake Accounts made to address; Criminal Activity?

[JadenClarkJC]

Hi,

I've lived in a shared accommodation for 10 months and been the sole tenant for most of that time. Of the 4 rooms, 2 are vacant always.

There has been an influx of post coming for specific people from banks, council, credit companies and phone contracts.

The specific floor of flats I live in used to be used as a brothel and criminal activity.

I've been liaising with the property manager to clear up the place of materials and report all names on the letters. We believe that the accounts are made to build up a credit score and take out larger loans from banks.

The most recent letter is for a £35 Sim Unlimited contract for 24 months from someone who has never lived in the building. Another letter has come from BT to the same person with a Sim Contract this month.

Please advise me on what to do and how to stop this continuing.

Regards

@JadenClarkJC : If you think it's criminal activity, report it to Police.

How do you know they are fake a/c's? Why not just someone who has given the wrong addy or the supplier writing down the wrong addy? It does happen. I get newspaper circulars for someone living 3 doors away. No criminal activity involved!

Hi @JadenClarkJC,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Are you returning the post to sender when it arrives?
