I was done - they tried to - in no particular order - 1. Get Credit Cards in my name (Manchester Address) 2. Loans in my name (Manchester address) 3. They actually got services supplied to a property in Manchester from BT (this was only discovered a while later 4. Tried to get a laptop from Dell 5. Took out warranties in my name As I had an address (luckily one of the companies supplied this to me) I went to the police station with the information. The officer on the desk went - "well they only tried...." to which I responded "OK - I will go home and try to kill my wife - its alright as long as I only try" - got a lot of laughs from the people queuing behind me. I believe that it was at a petrol station in Manchester that my card got skimmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats societies fault for not providing enough benefits for these people to have a decent standard of living, so they've probably had to supplement their income, you surely can't blame them for that? I do hope they didn't get in trouble for it, although I do hope they were traced so they could go on a rehabilitation course and be given more money so they don't go hungry anymore. I know you'll feel the same 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, they should be given a free fishing rod to, that will help stop fishing emails and allow them to feed their families. Remember, give a person a fish and they will eat for a day, but give them a rod and they'll feed themselves instead of robbing everyone else 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
