Six men have been handed jail sentences in Britain for running a website that earned millions of pounds by selling fake documents and coaching fraudsters in how to conduct successful scams. Two masterminds ran the site from villas in Alicante in Spain while associates in Britain created fake documents including bank statements, payslips, driving licences and bills, police said after Friday's judgement.
The site's 11,000 clients could buy a full credit profile - often with an identity stolen from an unsuspecting member of the public - including a postal address, for pound 5,500 ($8,500, 6,800 euros). They were graded using nautical terms which rose from "Skylarker" through "Shore Patrol" to "Ship's Surgeon", police said.
