I'll read the whole thing when I get time - because that kind of testimony fascinates me! However, you may not be aware that the hearings are only scratching the surface. There are, according to FBI studies, over 300 web sites that will sell you fraudulent and phony information, documents, diplomas, identification items, etc. 300! As soon as they shut one down, as they just did by prosecuting less than a dozen people - only five of whom got prison time - it seems that ten more open up! Our only defense in the banking industry is to train our people to examine documents and question information supplied if there is any possibility of false representation.
Keep investigating. It will only help if we are more aware of what is out there.

I did a quick search using AltaVista and the search term "Fake ID" - was taken to dozens of sites. Seems that the term "Novelty ID" will bring even more. Its a scary world.

I agree totally with you ,That's why it is Our duty to be On alert 24/7 to combat such criminal actions through training and awarness to Both clients ( so they won't be victims for ID theft ) and to bank employees ( so they won't be abused by criminals ) & in Both cases we provide some positive effort combat such crimes.

Thanks for the reminder. I've recommended the I.D. Checking Guide since 1971. There are several versions, including an international I.D. one -- and the products are relatively inexpensive.

Those folks who use them typically keep them in the Operations Officer's desk, along with a magnifying glass and a flashlight with a Halogen bulb (MagLite). Each of these tools can come in very handy.

Dana,

I understand the magnifying glass but I have to ask, what do you use the flashlight for?
