Yeterday and today I've responded to roles, one sent direct to me via email and one off a job board and the agent has got back to me and asked for items of Personal Identifiable Data to be used with the application.
Yesterday it was my day and month of birth, but not the year.... used an obvious work around for this one.
Today its NI number and passport expiry date?
I haven't heard of either of the agencies before.
I am getting worried about dribbling out bits of my identifiable data to different agencies and ending up being the victim of identity fraud, maybe I'm paranoid, but I wonder what if someone out there is pretending to be different agencies and collecting these details?
Is anyone else noticing this going on? I queried the first agent and was told that the online portal they were using required the details before my application could be uploaded.
