  • Possible fraud, LTD company using my address for employee

    Dear All,

    1. Where should one report a possible fraudulent LTD company employing bogus employees {person I never heard of in 17 years owning house} with bogus home addresses {in this case my house address}?
    Why I ask? Objective, report the LTD company, if indeed they employee fictitious employees we may prevent fraud and better the world.

    A bit of back ground.
    Received a letter today "Enhanced certificate" at my house from dbs.gov.uk. This for say person JohnX SmithY. Own house for 17 years, never heard of this person in my life.

    I rang the DBS and report this as fraud. DBS did not even take my contact details.
    Since this appear suspicious I looked at the LTD company.
    - LTD company looked suspicious as they are use Regus office address and registered 2019.
    Rang this LTD company mentioning I am about to report this to police.
    It was clear they tried to prevent me doing this, in the end smirked and wish me good luck reporting this.

    => This LTD company rang me back +- 40 minutes later with some human error as explanation. Person lied in this second call as they now claimed the the postcode is exactly the same and they got the house number wrong. In the call earlier he used a different post code {per my call recording}.

    Thank you.

    You report it via Action Fraud.

    They could be claiming Government 'subsidies' etc.

        All I am seeing here is that a company submitted a DBS application for an employee which had an error in the address. Whilst that is pretty careless of them - they are supposed to check and verify the address given by the employee - I can't see how it is evidence of fraud or a fictitious employee.

        Nor can I see how having your Registered Office at a location rented from Regus is suspicious in itself. And what is suspicious about having been registered in 2019?

        If that is all there is don't expect any official organisation to do anything with your reports.

          Did you report it to the police, as per your threat?

            There appears to be more then one fact which doesn't add up. Plus the OP's telephone conversation,

            'This LTD company rang me back +- 40 minutes later with some human error as explanation. Person lied in this second call as they now claimed the the postcode is exactly the same and they got the house number wrong. In the call earlier he used a different post code {per my call recording}'.

            Sounds like a 'fraudulent' recruitment agency,

              Sorry but I stand by my view on this Echatt11. OP seems to think that anyone who calls back with a clarification that is different from what they initially said is a liar. I don't agree.

              The premise that ap fraudulent employer would submit a DBS application with a fake address makes no sense to me at all. What would be the point? Admin error is far more plausible.

                Hopefully, we'll get an update and the OP can confirm that I've made a good call!!

                  Dear All,

                  One is obliged to give feedback, sorry for the delay.

                  Just reported this at
                  A. "actionfraud.police.uk", thank you ECHAT11.
                  {Prior to posting in this forum I did try and report it at "actionfraud.police.uk" since I reported one other issue in the past. The options at actionfraud did not easily match this DBS fraud. }

                  B. Complain about a limited company - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) Thank you R0B.

                  The probability of this being an innocent accident is small. It is not so much what persons say as the manner they say it. {Related to the phone calls to this LTD company}

                  Case not reported to the police, I find it very difficult to report anything to the police. If persons here indicate it is my duty to report this to the police I will persist.

                  So hard in the online world to state your credibility with compromising anonymity. Only through many forum posts can one establish your credibility. In this forum I am novice, the legal field is not my forte.

                  No idea if really helps to report these matters.

                  I will give feedback here if any is received.

                  Your guidance and replies are much appreciated.

                    Thanks for the update, continue to update.

                    The thing is that not enough people report their suspicions then criminality thrives.

                    People get away with stuff, other people see people getting away with stuff, they start doing it, it keeps snowballing.

                    Total lawlessness, everyone goes around saying isn't crime bad, the police are overwhelmed as crime rises.
