postie just tried to delivery a signed for letter  from an insurance company with an obviously made up name

"Mr B Gul"

with my address perfectly written (which is good going as almost everyone gets it wrong) i rejected it , the postie agreed it sounded like a scam and I've spoken to the company involved who say its already in their fraud squads investigations - that's why it was a recorded letter that was sent.  - although I've had no previous correspondence this is the first I've seen.

What advantage to them is there to have insurance set up at my address ? i guess they can go around crashing away and handing over that policy details and be "legal" but not tracable ?

anyone had this before ?

equally given my locale i thought "MR C Gul" would have been funnier 😀

might be this . infact highly likely to be this.

company have been told to get my address off of it as its nothing to do with me or this address - they did start down the line of it may be a previous occupant ..... nope I've been here a while and i know the previous occupant of the previous 50 years - and before that some chickens lived here .... but no beagles.

I've had that, more oddly it was after my mum had moved into sheltered housing, and there would be letters giving approval for motor insurance was clearly her address. I handed them back to the postie if I saw him, contacted the insurance company, and eventually handed them to the police...

There was even a V5C document once, though that was just the wrong number of house 😉
