Frank Abagnale whose life was depicted in "Catch Me if You Can" with Leonardo di Caprio, made his name by assuming other people's identities and identity fraud. He now works for the US Security Services and was here in the UK today talking about identity fraud at one of the Banks' call centres.
When interviewed by South Today, his view was that Id Cards were a wonderful idea... all the information you need about a person in one place, it'll save so much time for the fraudsters. Oh yes, he estimated it would take 6 months before the system was compromised... just like chip and pin
