Criminals sell fake UK passports on TikTok for £3,500 | Daily Mail undercover reporter

EXPOSED: Daily Mail reporter poses as client to buy fake UK passport on TikTok. Crooks are selling sophisticated fake UK passports online for £3,500, the Daily Mail can reveal. The racket boasts a 'super price and super-fast' service. Gangs use pictures of the Queen and Buckingham Palace on social media to advertise passports which include 'high quality' bio- metric chips needed to pass UK border controls. Forgeries feature watermarks, holograms and fluorescent security features visible only under ultraviolet lights during checks at airport scanners. The UK-based agent for one gang offered a Mail undercover reporter a counterfeit British passport for £3,500 and an EU passport - which could also be used for illegal entry here - for £2,000. He said: 'A lot of people came this way. Whatever you like. You like French? You like British? You like Italian? Everything.'

The fake passports can avoid detection when swiped at immigration because it is believed they are not automatically checked against a database of genuine passports.

Scary, but still doesn't scare me as much as the government.

It's like gun licenses. Completely pointless. Criminals aren't going to bother with gun license to get a gun are they? Same thing.

[julezpanda]

Omg.. No wonder we're over run, they're coming from all directions

[lucastaylor]

Is this exclusive to the UK (being rubbish at everything).. ?

[veronicafremlin]

that's because our passports are printed in France not in our own country where thay should be

[shawnyafrosamurai]

aiming for 2nd passport in these times is a must

[edix]

More brexit winning?? Why the new passports? Why not the old EU ones?

[leonardbenzies]

What do you expect when UK Passports are MADE in France ?

[antivaccineproimmunity]

Better roll out those digital IDs then eh 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[solarhead]

The chip also has an identification number added to it when you get a passport. So the counterfeit ones don't work.

Or Just get a dinghy and they'll then be put in 4* hotels with free food, money, clothes, phones with extra help to move to thier preferred place to get a flat etc, and if they're not happy with that, will then have the opportunity to just get up and leave and go wherever they want most without being processed, properly vetted so we have no idea who or where they're from.
