    I have just searched for fake payslips on google, interesting to note that on this site it has a visitor counter. Not sure how long that counter has been going for, but 660,000+ visitors.

    And this is what ou can buy:

    The 660k visitors just to this site shows it's a "required" service.

    It even has a salary counter in which you can play around with figures to come up with the required wage you need.

    Another brilliant thing about high prices I guess.

    From the article:
    A £750 printer was withdrawn from sale at PC World after detectives revealed it could even produce replicas of the proposed new ID card and EU driving licences.

    A USA friend of mine told me that the self cert thing out there was out of hand and lie to buy was extremely common. She was a mortgage broker but has been out of business since the crunch.

    The massive house price inflation of the last 10 years could not have happened without them.

  • It never ceases to amaze me that people will lie to take on debt, to pay for something that is way over-valued.

    Never underestimate the stupidity of people.

    To make the site look popular.

    Only amatuer type sites use visable counters as it makes them look good, so mike is actually right, it means nothing!
