    Close your eyes and tap your heels together three times and think to yourself There's No Place Like Home.

    I clicked every report button I could find, spam, illegal etc. It wasn't there long as it sounds like I was not alone.

    Bluebella, their is no fake passport they get your money and never deliver and the buyer can't complain to police as they were buying something illegal.

    Doh Oh I see! But MSE could pass on the contact email/number they gave in their post to the police and they could get an undercover policeman to make contact pretending they want to buy a fake passport! :j I am sure the police could track them and then catch the b u g g e r s!
