We have just received a letter from our settlement agent after just selling our house.
They have sent us Verification of Identity forms to be completed and taken to Australia Post for them to sign and take our photo etc..
Is anyone familiar with this? We have just looked on Auspost website and it costs $39 for them to attach a photo and sign their details. That will be $80 for two of us just to verify our identity.
Is there another way to complete this 'scam' other than going to Australia post??? Surely a settlement agent can verify your identity in a face to face meeting with documents etc???
Very annoying considering we have used this settlement agent for years and have now sold 4 houses with them....
I hate being ripped off.
