Did anyone who received welfare checks send their ID/Identification to IC?

I'm sorry to everyone that had to go through this. Personally I spent the whole afternoon paranoid about this after learning about it. Personally I didnt send an ID and didn't receive a police knock (yet). I would like to know about the experiences of others if possible. Thank you!


By the way, im referring to the line that asked people who ordered to send a copy of their ID to the stated email on the IC website

Sent my ID (passport so no address), haven't received a welfare check as of yet. I assume they're using the shipping details rather than the ID though as these will be more readily available/easily obtained from the merchant.

The shipping address is what they use. I know this because they referenced the shipping address even though I had since moved. Name and address is enough to find someone at the end of the day.

They don't need to. Your payment information was revealed, then they contact the relevant authorities. In the UK if you are on electoral register they come knocking, or based on banking details.
