Has personality written article for London newspaper on fraudulent practice? (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
identity theft
'fraudulent practice?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'has personality written article for london newspaper' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'personality' could be 'identity' (identity is a kind of personality) and 'identity' is present in the answer.
'article' could be 'the' (the definite article) and 'the' is found in the answer.
'newspaper' could be 'ft' (Financial Times newspaper) and 'ft' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for identity theft that I've seen before include "Type of fraud" , "fraudulent practice" , "Form of fraud" , "A crime of personal fraud" .)
