is this a con

[lameduck]

I cannot see this now

but there was a thread on here this morning showing you can buy a fake driving licence for ?300

I looked at website, as you do.

It looks as though thread has been removed.

dont know if website is still there.

Would like to know what the scam or con is, Surely there is not a site offering this.

It's a real thing but the licences are fake as are any of the documents they can provide

Don't fall for it

have had my licence for 50 years

lameduck, you're an innocent though, as far as these things go. They've been around for many years. You can also get ones touting other stuff, such as dodgy pharmaceuticals.

I assume it was similar to the attached example. That was from Usenet, which uses a posting protocol more like email. Ideally it might have been automatically detected and removed by whoever ran the news server, before anyone was able to download it. Monitoring of forums and messageboards isn't usually so nifty.

I've had my licence for 50 years as well (yikes!) and I'm pretty sure women drivers weren't rare 😂

I suggest not to click on dodgy website links in future to avoid risk of computer viruses.
