Police spies stole the identities of 80 dead babies: Birth certificates were used for fake identities |

It is one of a fraudsters best tools to wander round a cemetery and pick out a local family who have had an infant death. Spooks have also been doing it to make up legends for undercover officers.
You then go to the local registry office and ask for a duplicate birth certificate, which entitles you to get a passport. Both documents then act as proof to open bank accounts. provide proof of identity and allow the facilitation of loans and credit cards. Birth and death certificates are not cross referenced in the Uk.
Another easy way to get loans and credit cards is to simply put a couple of names onto the voters roll and wait a year or so. You don't even have to reside at the address and can redirect mail to another address or a mailbox.When a person applies for a credit card the first thing checked is the voters roll to ascertain that the name has a residence. It is all done electronically including the entry onto the roll.  It really is a joke!!
