Risk is dependent on just how much info you provide.
From what I've read in the Bay Area, most orgs will allow you to blackout address and numbers.
Some will also allow you to block out the name.
This was for a DL.
Only info I've ever seen regarding paychecks being used were from punters who didn't care, so it was just a "I sent it, got verified, and paid a visit"
If you believe the orgs, they delete it once verified. I know one org that said they delete after the first appointment is done.
As for why? I have a couple of ideas. Top two being
* Gives them an idea of what to let the girl look for. If some short white guy shows up when the ID was for a black guy, don't open then the door.
* Quick check against some industry/network blacklist (I'm pretty sure these exist in some form)
There was one lady I really wanted to see purely on looks. No reports available under the name and was listed as new to the area.
Org wanted DL, but I countered with a work ID.
I sent a photo of a badge from a former employer that was just name, photo, and company logo.
Nothing else on it.
Even better, it was an older badge, as the company moved to a different system that used NFC, so that particular card was not even current.
I figured, even if LE were to get a hold of it, I can always claim someone must have taken a photo of it and been using it without my knowledge.
I even took the photo using your typical generic wood veneer office desk as the backdrop. | |
