Makes a change from finding out I have the chance to to make some money from some poor soul in Nigeria. Anyone seen any other poor attempts at phishing.
Surely, all the ads on all the websites like this are just to try and tout you for CV’s full of your personal data, only for no job to ever materialise?
Once your data is out there… It’s out there.
I tried sending a special edited-down CV once that only had details of where I’d worked, qualifications etc, and only data that would be relevant to a proper employer… Of course, I got asked to supply the “missing data” which comprised of Former addresses, bank account numbers, payscales at previous empoyers, and of course my NI number and address of my GP!
None of this latter stuff is relevant until being offered the job in my opinion. Then you’d need to give it as part of the payroll entry - Not before.
You’ll find that even agecies will ask you to stick down your bank account number on the sign-up forms, BUT they still won’t be asking for the 3 digit number on the back of your card, and even then I still would not trust all the paperwork to be sent via email, leaving me wide open to identity theft and bank acccount enstripment should that data find itself “misappropriated”.
Old scam! you send your licence details and picture for a job on good pay.Not the original just a photocopy and your picture.About three months later the scammer writes to the DVLA and tells them you changed your address and gets your licence but with a different address.
Odds are you will look like somebody they know so they send you in on agency work.
Don’t see that personally. Too many firms using trackers nowdays.
More likely, they’ll get the licence the same way you described, then using that licence at new address, apply for a re-mortgage in your name, and then get loads of other loans secured on both the new house, and any other assets held.
THe end bit is the same though. Some bailiff kicking in your door, whilst you try and prove that you are not the “you” that has defrauded them, and even if cleaned up, getting fined for “not informing DVLA of a correct change of address”… You can’t win!
I see a lot of billboard posters around here offering to “buy your house guaranteed offer” that is aimed at people on the verge of re-possession, who are unable to sell the house for enough to redeem the mortgage outstanding upon it.
How the hell is someone going to offer a better deal without offering the more money required to redeem the mortgage?
THey don’t I suspect. You sell the house to them at a loss, the bank then chases you for the deficit, and the new “Owner” evicts you first chance they get.
Job done, losses fully taken by former householder, bank loses out, because you default, and new buyer got a house on the cheap, maybe £50k under par.
