Thank you VERY much for posting this Morg!!! It's become one of the most 'popular' crimes in New York State and much of the US. Locally we had a guy who 'befriended' people, and when invited into their homes he got hold of their licences and social security numbers and used them to create hundreds of bogus accounts in these people's names which he then used to purchase lots of things on the internet until he was caught and prosecuted.

Identity theft is apparently big business these days.
