Don't let the ID fraudsters win

 Back to list

    Look out for ID fraudsters - that's the message being given to companies and individuals alike in the wake of a startling case in which a man who claimed to be an aristocrat was jailed for passing himself off under the name of a dead baby.
    After Edward Buckingham was sentenced to 21 months in jail after deceiving friends, family and police for 23 years, people have been reminded that 70,000 cases of deceased fraud were recorded in 2004 - making it the fastest-growing type of identity theft crime in the UK. British firms lose millions of pounds each year in dismissing staff who turn out to be fraudsters, and fraud prevention firm Halo urged them to be vigilant as a result.
    Karen Webster, Halo's product director, told Growing Business: "Applicants may be trading under a false name to cover up a criminal past, avoid detection for future criminal activity or simply assume the experience and qualifications of someone who has died. "The cost of employing someone who turns out to be a fraudster, dismissing them and re-appointing someone else, far outweighs the cost of carrying out a check on every candidate." The British Security Industry Association said last month that the UK loses £1.3 billion each year due to people faking personal information.
