18 charged in US credit card fraud ring

PressTV - 18 charged in US credit card fraud ring

In the Uk, credit cards are simple to get. All one needs to do is put several names on the Voters Roll at an address. This can be done on the Internet with no proof required!!! Then apply for cards at the address after a year or so.As the fictitious names have no credit problems the cards just flow through the letter box.Very rarely the company phones to check residence but who are they talking to ????
This same scam can be used to claim multiply occupancy bed and breakfast benefits. A room, in a house, can be used by three people and if a breakfast is provided, then a weekly benefit, of over £70 per person, is sent out to the landlord. A three apartment can generate up to 12 names. they never stay there and should an inspector ever turn up they can be told that the folk are working casual or signing on or just out!! There is no obligation to inform anyone that a real person has moved out and benefits are continued. Should, by some rare miracle, a landlord be caught, he/she just repays the money and says that they did not realise the position.
These scams have been used for many years.
