Hi folks

I have been thinking here: when they ask you for your docs, how do they know if you are sending a duplicate document? Well, since there are thousands of limited accounts and thousands of uploaded docs there must be some kind of software that performs some kind of analysis and 'recognition'.

I thought about 2 possibilities:
1) software scans for metadata and header/binary code within the file. It will
find some matches and then the PPal supervisor will check and decide.
In this case if you erase metadata and change the file structure (a bigger or a smaller image) would be decent to avoid being caught


2) Perhaps they use some million-worth-software, something similar to TV-show CSI to perform analysis of face and present the supervisor with some 'suspects'.
In this case I see no other option but to use diferent pictures from diferent persons. When your 'stock' of persons end you will be doomed.

what u think?

in my opinion this is how i think it works

some random guy looks at the docs. not very closely as he has just smoked a **** load of weed. once he has looked at the name and other stuff he scans it and puts it on the computer. saves the file under that persons name. and then goes for another spliff.

i dont think they use software to scan anything!

I don't think the faxed documents will any metadata

the only thing that has metadata is a photo taken on a camera and uploaded, so unless you took a pic of the doc then it is ok.....

use an online meta or exif viewer, to see what I mean...
