Bank Accounts In London

"No wonder there is so much fraud in this country if it is that easy. Now lets see how easy it is to knock up a letter head or ask somebody to give you one."

...obviously I had to do this along with supplying my UK passport and my Australian passport.

I love the idea that people assume that with just a letter the bank will not do any other checks and open the account.

Its pretty easy to do the checks by ringing up the company and speaking to HR department as well as what #10 said in photocopying passports.
