Very disturbed by an post, Big brother is watching

Nick Guats

I already posted this thread in politics but it got closed, maybe the labour party are in charge of boards.ie too. I was in the post office this morning and a teenage girl was going to send an international parcel, The woman in the post office wanted the girls pps number to send the parcel, When the girl didnt have her pps number the woman gave her back the parcel, She was not collecting a welfare payment, she has a girl about 15 years old in a school uniform

I've sent parcels a fair bit internationally recently and I've never once been asked for my PPS. That doesn't sound right to me.

Maybe she was looking for her peeps' number, to arrange a rad party or something?

Ah, but I bet you never posted those parcels as a 15 year old girl in a school uniform. Go back and try it like that and let us know how you get on.

damn that libertarian labour party

Last week I went into a bank to change coins to the value of €120. I was asked for my bank card although I didn't lodge the money, just wanted it changed into paper money. They said they could not change the money for me unless I had a bank card.


Yesterday I went to cash a postal order in my name at the post office and was asked for my PPS number. The value was €50 and I am not in receipt of SW payments.

WTF?

I think you may have misheard the conversation.
Sounds like she was trying to pay for posting a parcel using a welfare transfer payment she was due to collect.

If she was not in school on a Friday morning, perhaps she is in receipt of some social welfare income.

I'm more concerned about why someone in a school uniform wasn't in school. Which Big Brother style, totalitarian, overlord body do I report this to?

That sounds perfectly reasonable, factual, and likely.

In other words; wrong forum .

The Department of Dirty Naughty Girls.

I'm Chief Inspector, I'll take a look into it for you. We'll be in contact.

No doubt the postal order thing is to see if people on the dole are getting extra money selling stuff on ebay

There's a lovely lad who will deliver anything under 3KG for 1Euro 67cents to anywhere in the world for me. He just requires my bank account details sir!

What area was the post office in?

Worth considering could undercover Garda been in the post office and told the cashiers to be on the look out for a certain individual - the only way of the cashier doing this would be with a pps number (the Garda wouldn't come out and blow their cover in case it wasnt the right person)

Exactly how weird in a 'conspiracy Theories' forum?

Weird would be if you read this post and then the next page in the book said that this post would be here, written in automatic writing channelling George Orwell. That could be classed as weird.

At the time, the thread was in After Hours, so by that measure it was slightly weird. ish.

64 state / semi state departments can request your PPS number. An Post is one of them.

I have my doubts about this one!
Close to where i live there is an automated macine for sending international parcels, it weighs them for you, you tell it what country and it tells you how much postage you need, you give it money it - it gives you stamps then you stick your parcel in the post box.
At no stage does it ask you for id or dna or fingerprints or anything like that.
Just money for stamps, that seems to be all it cares about to be quite honest!
