    To the OP - you're not a journalist trying to make up, sorry - research and write, a story on peoples fear of identity theft are you?

    Cynical, moi?

    Lol, I'd have to admit this post really made me smile - I have been called many things, but a journalist? :p
    I don't know how I could convince you that I'm not...
    All I can say is I'm not!

    I suppose I could ask you to look out for newspaper articles about ID fraud?

    Hi there,

    I wouldn't worry about ID fraud, but I would contact your old employer & ask for a copy of your P45 (or a copy of your last wage slip) as you will need the figures from there when you start a new job!

    Nah your passport and driving license are more useful to an ID fraudster.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    (If a link I give opens pop ups I won't know I don't use windows)
