A couple were nearly bankrupted by scammers who applied for five different credit cards in their name after stealing a single driving licence.
Sandy and Simon, from Melbourne, were close to losing $160,000 after a tech-savvy thief stole person details from their mailbox.
Simon’s licence was taken from the couple’s mailbox and used to apply for five credit cards at five different banks, all with between $30,000 and $60,000 credit.
