They ask for your NHS number (hahaha) and to check your ID ask for your mother's maiden name. Hmmm...I wonder why. Now comes the sucker punch - they will charge you only 10p!!! Wow!! A real bargain! Can't be wrong can it, or they'd ask for the contents of your bank account?
Now I have been a bad boy. Because I told you what I received, this action is illegal and I may be subject to prosecution. I am worried of course.
Oh...I am not allowed to reply to them except via the form. I see. So I sent a terse email back and suggested they go boil their silly heads! Yes...it was simply terse and contained no bad language. But I did enjoy breaking their rules!!!
Stay safe!
