I just got this address from a fine barrister who will be happy to receive my money there. Do any of you UK blokes know if this is a real address, and if so, what it is?

There's probably no chance that LE would be able to get involved, but I'd still like to know what the address is.

Thanks for the info.

PS, If anyone can take pics of the place or give me any details, I might be able to work it into the bait and mess with his head a little more. Any thoughts or assistance would be welcome.

There is only one address listed for that postcode on the Royal mail website, and it's a different number, which is:

It's a law firm:

Thanks for the quick reply, SP. Does that mean he's just fiddled a real address a little?

I wonder if that law firm would be interested to know about my barrister?

They just invent addresses, or use ones that they have found elsewhere. If ever they ask you for an address you can always feed them a little mis-information by making it something that no real native of the country you are supposed to be writing from would believe. Smile

Hi Pug, yes, the lads will take a real address and change it slightly, that address has been used in other scams, for example:

Long Link

If you Google "Mitre House, Aldersgate Street, London" and go to "images", you will see numerous fake sites listed selling phones and electronic good, some for number 77 and others using the real address at 160.

Thanks again. I s'pose I shoulda googled the address myself, but, oh well . . .

Interesting all the wonderful electronic goods that are "sold" from that location. Some of the websites that are linked to are truly pathetic. Amond the most illiterate that I've seen.

Gotta love it!

It is probably an address used by a phone scammer.

I found this:
