I do a lot of competitions. Online/magazines and postcards.
Just wondering what happens to the magazine entry forms and postcards, when the comp is finished. Wonder if they shred them or put them in an incinerater, to try and prevent ID fraud.

oo i dunno, i've never really thought about it.

Online wise, i guess they keep your info on file (not sure how safely) as for postcards i guess they should shred, dunno if they do though.

Can ID fraud be committed just with your name and address then?

YES definitely, it was all they needed to hit me as the rest of the information they need can easily be got from places like the electoral register

Many of these competitions are funded by selling-on your details to databases all over the world.

  If you don't want crooks to target you, then don't be thick, and don't give your real details away AT ALL, on the 'net.
