It's possible this has already been reported to the police, but we all know they don;t tend to move to fast on things like this, and it's likely Deliveroo doesn't want to risk hurting it's own reputation by shutting out restaurants it suspects are taking part in this scam without enough solid proof that they are definitely in on it

I mean if they keep using the same exact "restaurant" whose address ends up being an Apartment... It would be really suspect. Not saying this is the case, but it'd be more obvious if it were.
If they put the FSA "Scores on the Doors" (and local council) food standards ratings on, the act of looking up the address would tell them something was up.

"Address given is not registered as a restaurant or food outlet" (aka: they're not registered with the local council).

I've gotten into the habit of checking 'Scores, just because of the sheer number of poor quality food places on Deliveroo, Just Eat and so on.
