A resident recently made us aware of a scam which is targeting blocks of flats. Intruders are pretending to be delivery drivers or other services to gain unauthorised access to these buildings.

Their primary objective is to collect personal information using the post left in letter boxes, potentially facilitating further fraudulent activities.

Usually, they will use this information to set up credit cards in that person’s name, without them knowing, and will collect it from the address once it’s been delivered.

Please be extra vigilant when granting people access to your building. Our staff and contractors will always have ID, so if they haven’t got any, or if it doesn’t look real, then please don’t let them in. If you’re unsure please contact us and we will be able to confirm it for you.
