On a local news forum a lady has said that she doesn’t drive. Her husband had a knock in the car, the car is in for repair, and he had to apply for a hire car. In doing so the hire car firm electronically sent him an application form. When the form arrived the signature block was populated with a copy of the lady’s signature. She contacted the hire car firm and they stated that the form was sent out without a copy of her signature. She is suggesting that her signature must have been retrieved from a tablet-pad-signature device when she would have signed for a parcel etc. She is advising neighbours to sign those devices with a squiggle etc.
Another poster suggested that perhaps these tablet-pad-signature devices were actually harvesting signatures.
It’s pretty scary stuff if signatures are harvested. In this case the husband was expecting a form, but it must be for consideration that other forms could be raised – loans, opening bank accounts etc which could contain the lady’s signature without her knowledge.
How is this possible?
