Haha! That gave me a chuckle.


Roll on ID cards! Then the government can lose EVERYONES personal information, including biometrics.

lol i have a very good feeling thats fake thats on eBay though, but what i dont udnerstand is where people are bidding, are they stupid or somthing?

the goverment will probley rade the house now or illegal stuff like fake credit cards or fake passports etc.. as only people like that would want data like that.

Yea think about it. If its on eBay they have all your addresses and emails and everything and that includes anyone who decides to 'bid'.

Fraudsters aren't that dumb - hence why their called fraudsters,

I had a temp job for the DTi a while ago. This kind of thing is suprisingly easy to do.

Yeah, but the thing that is ridiculous is that the system is in place so that 25million names can be contained on a coupla discs, and that there are no checks in place to ensure something like this doesnt happen!

thats why thicko Brown has ordered a security check on everything.

Yeah they've been gone for a while. They just didnt tell anyone about it till now!

I really think that this should just be the end of this government.

What about when ID cards become compulsory?!!!

ID card data blunders will mean DNA stealing and crime fraud carried out by cloning cells using "dolly the sheep" technology. These cloned cells will be used to cover up crime scenes and make you the guilty one. (Far fetched I know but not impossible!!!) :D

Even the postal clerk at the place I worked at could have done this.
