Diplomats turn up at man's house after he jokingly lists it as Moldovan Embassy

A man listed his home as the Moldovan embassy online for a joke - and claims confused citizens would call up asking for advice. Hughie Shepherd-Cross, 24, put up a plaque and claims he uploaded his his home in Fulham, south-west London, address to Google Maps in a mischievous plot, last year.

But he has since apologised for any confusion and offence his antics may have caused. Hughie said: "I received multiple phone calls from confused Moldovan citizens from where I'd listed my number online to make the address look more real.

"Two foreign diplomats even turned up looking for the embassy and I answered the door with my housemate. Passers-by and neighbours were very confused from both the plaque and the fake address popping up on the road.
