 Identity Fraud - mobile phones - Paul Robinson
Nasty shock in the post today - a batch of letter for my daughter about 4 mobile phone contracts taken out in her name. She's not lived with us for most of last year as she and her boyfriend have been living with a member of his family who has health problems, but as this was supposed to be temporary she is still on the electoral register at our address.

Some of the documents include bank details that thankfully are not her's.

Has anyone else had this problem?

No, not happened to anyone I know personally.

One thing to be careful of is sharing your date of birth too publicly - I mean 'social media' of course.. Name, address, and date of birth of somebody creditworthy is all you really need to commit impersonation fraud.
