Fortunately, this story is false, so the government won't have to worry about that kind of thing.

You are right, however, that a student would not divulge information on those close to them. The 15-year old because they know it's not appropriate/smart, the younger ones(which this module isn't for) won't know what it is anyway.

If I asked the question "do you know of any tax evasion/fraud here in your local area" to a class after discussing tax evasion, I would expect the following answers:

- some stories about how carpenters and such do work on the side
- a local celebrity/businessman/whatever who had been charged with tax evasion in the past, given the existance of such a figure
- a case widely reported in the national media in the past few weeks. Again given the existance of such a case
- local folklore about the dealings of some minor local business(kebab shop, pub, etc)
- one "wild card answer"
