Royal Norwegian military runs ID fraud off unsuspecting teenagers

60.000 teenagers in the kingdom of Norway experienced a bit of a wake up call on Monday, when it was revealed that the royal Norwegian military is criminally involved in ID fraud by using stolen copies of Facebook profiles and duplicating them into the military's own "Futurebook" military social media, where the military have used the profiles, which include real names, birth dates and other personal data, to create fake personal messages between profiles.


Other examples of constructed social interaction between profiles, can be seen in the picture of the topless girl below (image has been covered up by admin of this blog):


The fake conversation is constructed in this way:

"Line: A Little unsure what country that uniform belongs to.
Marie: Have seen that uniform in Spain.
Torleif: Not many workplaces where you'll find as many girls laying in bikinis everywhere, as you do with us in the military."

This is not that first time that the military has used the "sex sells" concept of the advertising industry. But it should be fairly obvious that when you sign up for war in Afghanistan, you are not going to see that many topless girls.

The background for the identity theft is that the military wants more attention for the sake of recruitment of more professional killers for the kingdoms military.
The royal Norwegian military killed a civilian in Afghanistan earlier this year, and despite not losing any popularity over it the propaganda offices has together with the advertising's industry decided to "cool up" the image of the military in the wake of this regular event.

President of the United States, Barack Obama is due for the Norwegian kingdom in 9 days to receive the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
