HMRC ad on cash machine screens

[ELBBUBKUNPS]

I know HMRC have advertised on Cash Mashine screens before but I got a shock when I saw there latest one. Roll up to the cash point not a care in the world, I then pop my card in and see a pair of eyes looking up at me from the cash point screen as if someone was inside it, and then the message across the screen along the lines of 'undeclared income we are looking for you', really quite menacing tbh, I got nothing to hide but still it p*ssed me off and made me want to thump the cash point

It took snapshot of your balance and also your face.

It's a weird one - it seems to react to what you're doing on the machine - looking over to the keypad as you enter your pin - eyes open wide as you pull the money out. Quite unnerving.

They must have read Thinking Fast Thinking slow. In an uni experiment they ran a "honesty box" for tea and coffee. Something like week 1 3 5 and 7 have a picture of flowers on the cupboard. Week 2, 4, 6 and 8 had a random photo of someone's eyes on the cupboard. No mention of the photos was made and there were no words implying it on the photo. In the even weeks where the eyes were there, the taking in the honesty box were a great deal higher. Implying we are preconditioned to comply with the rules when we think someone is watching.

I think Hector is on to something here - scaring people into paying their taxes. Luckily I know I'm paying mine. i.e. the ones I have to and making deductions that are legal. I do come across the odd twunt who brags about how they are claiming this that and the other and I think, it's a good job I don't dislike you ;-).
