Would you be happy to give the following over standard email?
Full name, address, DOB, NI number, driving licence details, full credit card details, copies of proof of address (through bills, bank statments) etc?
A legit UK holiday car hire company has requested this from me.
Have said I'd give my name and address and last 8 digits of licence along with the code for them to do the DL check on gov.uk website and would pay a deposit via BT or paypal. The rest they can see on the day.
Doesn't sound unfair does it?
Fraudsters dream getting hold of such an email IMO.
OK, they can get info regardless but why make it so easy for someone or is it just me flapping?
I don't know much about email encryption btw!
