"The Home Office has gone that extra mile to prove the true costs of identity fraud to us all - it's been conned, big-time. Confronted with a fake doctor one would ideally stride smartly off in the other direction, but in the case of fraudster Barian Baluchi the Home Office opted for funding his clinic, using him as an asylum-seeker health policy adviser and letting him be an expert witness in 1,500 immigration appeals tribunal cases.
Baluchi's earnings from his imaginative career in medicine are reported to be in the region of ?1.5 million, and of course (you can almost hear the Home Office saying this) it couldn't have happened if we'd had ID cards. "
