0:00:02 > 0:00:07Welcome to a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Welcome to Fake Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10Police!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Police officers! Stay where you are!
0:00:22 > 0:00:23You're under arrest!
0:00:25 > 0:00:29In this series, I'm investigating the world of the criminals
0:00:29 > 0:00:31who make their money at your expense.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And I'll be showing you how not to get ripped off.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Excuse me! Don't treat me like a criminal!
0:00:37 > 0:00:42In today's programme, we meet the workers using fake IDs to get real jobs...
0:00:42 > 0:00:46There's plenty of evidence that suggests to me that this is a counterfeit document.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51We catch the Blue Badge parking fakers on London's streets...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53I'm asking you again - where is the badge holder?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And heartbreak and financial ruin...
0:00:56 > 0:00:58just some of the side effects
0:00:58 > 0:01:03of the fake soldiers targeting the bank accounts of British lonely hearts.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07He took from me...almost £10,000.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Last year 220 million people came to Britain and they all needed one of these,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21but some passports aren't quite what they seem.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25But then again, neither are the people that are using them.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29This is a West London base of the UK Border Agency,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and a large team of officers are preparing for a major operation.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37They have identified a nearby company where they believe overseas nationals
0:01:37 > 0:01:41are using fake IDs to fool the system and get work here.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46It's a UKBA-led operation to detect failed asylum seekers and against illegal working.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Time to move out.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54The scale of the problem with illegal workers in the capital
0:01:54 > 0:01:58is so big that the West London team carry out major operations every week.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Dick Stratton and his team have years of experience
0:02:07 > 0:02:09in searching for illegal identity documents.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We've just arrived at the target premises.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We've got six vans full of officers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18One van has gone round the back of the premises
0:02:18 > 0:02:22to make sure that nobody escapes from the back and to make sure that everything is safe and secure.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Immigration!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32We are going to look at your workforce
0:02:32 > 0:02:35to see if there are any immigration offenders amongst them.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39We will seek to identify as quickly as we can those who are of no interest to us.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44While most of the workers are here legitimately,
0:02:44 > 0:02:49the Border Agency suspect that a few have presented fake European Union IDs
0:02:49 > 0:02:53to fool the employer into thinking they can work in the UK legally.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01This man has presented the team with Portuguese ID which would allow him to work in the UK.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05But the Border Agency think it is fake and he's really a Brazilian.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11Your passport has been seen by a forgery expert,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and it appears it's a forgery. Someone who looks at a document...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Someone has checked it? - Someone has checked it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21It's his opinion that it may be counterfeit.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Records show he's definitely entered the UK using a Brazilian passport,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29but his job and even his bank account have been secured with a Portuguese passport.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34If the Border Agency are right and he's a Brazilian working illegally, he will be deported.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Later, we'll see how the team search for the man's real identity,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45whilst the threat of expulsion plays heavily on his mind.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Excuse me!- Listen to me now... - Excuse me! - Don't treat me like a criminal!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Sending flowers used to be the classic romantic gesture.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Nowadays, though, you're more likely to be sent an e-mail.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06However, online dating has become an incredibly popular way of trying to meet a new partner,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10but people are finding that some online Romeos
0:04:10 > 0:04:14are not just likely to break your heart, but also your bank balance.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Teaching Assistant Ilana Brown from London is no-one's idea of an easy touch.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The divorced mother-of-two is a former soldier and taekwondo expert.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27But she'd thought she'd met her match in more ways than one
0:04:27 > 0:04:31when she got talking to a handsome American soldier online.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I asked him for his name. He said, "My name is Terry".
0:04:35 > 0:04:39He introduced himself as a doctor from the American Army.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44These are the photos Terry sent Ilana, apparently of himself.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45She sent some back
0:04:45 > 0:04:49and their simple chats soon turned into an online romance.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I think I felt I'd found someone really special.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55"You are the only one that I have..."
0:04:55 > 0:05:01Soon Ilana was receiving daily romantic text messages and e-mails from Terry.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03They started making plans.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07"I can't wait to be with you and make sweet love to you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11"I love you, Ilana. I can't do any bad to you."
0:05:11 > 0:05:16He's got a big house, he's going to sell it and come and live in the UK with me.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21But it wasn't that long before Ilana's handsome soldier came to her with a problem.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23After 2 weeks he said,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26"Oh, you know, sorry I couldn't come online.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30"I've got a problem here. I'm serving in Afghanistan.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36"And one of my soldiers got shot and I'm really in trouble.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39"Sorry for not being in contact."
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And then he said, "Please, can you help me with £300?"
0:05:42 > 0:05:49And then...I sent the money. I took £300 from my account...
0:05:49 > 0:05:53and sent it to the address that he gave me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59Ilana was told the £300 she sent would help pay for treatment for the wounded soldier,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01and that the army wouldn't pay for him.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Her online lover said she was the only one he could turn to.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10She didn't know it yet, but she had taken the first step on a road to near financial ruin.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20You voluntarily hand the badge over to me.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Later in the programme, Blue Badge parking fraud in London...
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- I don't believe the badge holder's with you and I don't believe... - He's obviously not...
0:06:28 > 0:06:30And money down the drain...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32£35 for a bottle of fake champagne.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37There's no question these were being passed off as the real thing.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Terminal 1, Heathrow.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It's arrivals time for flights from Africa and Europe.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Immigration officers like Chloe check the passports of everyone landing here,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03and make the critical decision that the person standing in front of them
0:07:03 > 0:07:06is the same as the person in the passport photo.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10But sometimes they have suspicions that the person may be an impostor.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17This woman has just landed from Dakar and presented a Swedish passport.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22The problem is she looks 20 years older than the woman in her passport photo.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Right, let's have a look.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26She doesn't speak any English at all.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Look up.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34We need to take a picture.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37And there are more problems with the passport.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41It's showing up as lost or stolen on the Border Agency's database.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43OK, madam.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The officers are starting to think she's a fake.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Can you just look up?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52I'm just trying to get a photograph of this lady
0:07:52 > 0:07:58so that I can compare it to the photograph in the passport.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Deciding if somebody is an impostor or not is difficult.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04With help from forgery officer Mike,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08the new photo will be enlarged and closely compared to the passport one.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10In this one there's a fuller face.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's a much fuller face.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14This face literally comes in
0:08:14 > 0:08:15and then in again,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17where this is very, very full.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Their analysis could be the difference
0:08:19 > 0:08:23between whether this woman is granted entry into the UK or not.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Also, the bridge of the nose... - Yeah.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28You can tell, it's quite different.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33It is, it's wider, and there's less distance as well between the two eyes, I would say,
0:08:33 > 0:08:34than in the actual passport.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Every comparison they try is suggesting the woman who's just landed is an impostor.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It's time to get the interpreter in and see what the woman says.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46OK, first, we believe that this isn't her in this photograph.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49This isn't her passport. Can she confirm this isn't her?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53THEY SPEAK SOMALI
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- "This is not my passport."- OK. So she's confirming it's not her, yeah?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05The immigration officers were right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09This passport and this traveller do not belong together.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12And how did she obtain this passport?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15THEY SPEAK SOMALI
0:09:19 > 0:09:21She bought it from somebody.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- From an agent?- An agent, yeah.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And where did she buy it from, and how much?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28THEY SPEAK SOMALI
0:09:31 > 0:09:34"I paid him 4,000 US dollars."
0:09:34 > 0:09:39It turns out this woman had applied for a visa to come to the UK, but had been turned down,
0:09:39 > 0:09:45so had paid an illicit agent 4,000 for what she thought was a British passport.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48She thought she had a British passport, where, in fact, it was actually Swedish.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52But where she's illiterate, the agent's preyed upon that and said to her that this is a British passport.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55"This will help facilitate your entry," where, in fact, it was a Swedish passport.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57She should never have got the passport,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01she should never have arrived in the UK in the first place. She should have been stopped at the airport.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05She subsequently claimed asylum and is awaiting a decision on her case.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10But an impostor with someone else's passport
0:10:10 > 0:10:15is just one of the many unusual things immigration officers at Heathrow encounter.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Some passports they've seized have been far stranger than that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24These are some of the documents which we have been presented with.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26This one is issued by the British West Indies.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28According to this, though, he's a national of Barbados.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Again these are key giveaways on the passport.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You're from a country, Barbados.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Barbados has a recognised government, it has a recognised passport, why a British West Indies passport?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43I think the key giveaway is the laminate on this one.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47The actual key shape on the laminate which has no meaning,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49so why you think they would put that on a laminate...
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Why any country, if it was genuine, why a country would put a picture of a key on the laminate...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57They do actually make you laugh some of the features that are inside them
0:10:57 > 0:11:04when they try to replicate laminates and produce their own type... It just makes no sense.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06None of the security features actually make sense.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Not sure if you've ever heard of the Hutt River Principality.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12But it's in the western part of Australia...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16but again we've been told it moves around.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's one of them islands that move around!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Maybe next week we'll get it in America somewhere.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26One thing is for sure. It's not a country and can't issue passports.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32None of these documents are acceptable for travel, none of them are issued by any governments.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Next, please.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36We've got a World Serviceman's passport. However...
0:11:36 > 0:11:40this is almost a make-believe organisation that's been created,
0:11:40 > 0:11:45and allegedly the officials of this organisation are handed World Sevice Authority passports.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49And they are OK to travel on, so they think.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Morning.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57What is quite shocking though is when you look through the documents
0:11:57 > 0:12:01and you see how many places these documents have actually been accepted.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06You'll get visas inside them issued by various countries.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You get stamps inside them, entry and exit stamps.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Thankfully, none of these counterfeits made it past staff at the border
0:12:13 > 0:12:15and on to the streets of Britain.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Staff at Heathrow have hung on to them purely for training purposes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Here in Britain we like our bubbly.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32In fact, we drink more of it than any other nation, which makes it big business.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37However, I've found out that some champagnes like this one are fake.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41And if you buy one you could end up feeling flat!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Trading Standards teams across Britain protect us consumers
0:12:46 > 0:12:49from buying goods that might be fake or even dangerous.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Today, in Bromley, Kent, officer Rob Vale
0:12:53 > 0:12:57is following up reports that fake champagne is being sold on his patch.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58If members of the public
0:12:58 > 0:13:00don't spot that it's a fake,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02then they're going to be paying top dollar
0:13:02 > 0:13:08for what is basically a £3 or £4 bottle of very low alcohol wine.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Intelligence suggests that a man in a white van
0:13:11 > 0:13:15has sold various bottles of the bogus bubbly to small shops in the area.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19All right there? I'm from Trading Standards.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23We had an incident of some fake Bollinger being sold in the area recently.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27So I'm just looking at a few shops in the area to check the stock.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Do you have any Bollinger on your shelves?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The storekeeper has one bottle of Bollinger left.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Where do you get your stock from? - BLEEP
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Same place all the time?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Yeah, OK.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- And how long have you had this? - It's been there long.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- A long time?- Yes. - How many have you got?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- It's the only one left. I don't buy too many. Nobody buys it.- OK.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Cos that's actually a fake bottle! - This one?- Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58If you look at the label, you'll see that it's a very smooth finish...
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- They keep changing them. - Yeah, but this is a laser copy.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- I don't really know...- Do you remember where you got it from?- Yes.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07BLEEP
0:14:07 > 0:14:12As the bottle is a fake, Rob is suspicious that it could have come from the white-van man
0:14:12 > 0:14:14who's been selling counterfeits in this area.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And so he's going to seize it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20You taking my property from me without paying me? It don't make sense.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm seizing it cos it's a fake item.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28- You're telling me...?- It's illegal for you to have it on your shelf.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32You came in here and you only found one thing and you're telling me it's illegal.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- There's thousands of other items! - I'm not saying you done this on purpose.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- I don't want to lose my money. - How much are you selling it for?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Bollinger's £34.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- I have to change it.- No! I'm not letting you have the bottle.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- I've got to take the bottle. - This is...
0:14:47 > 0:14:53If you tell me... Go and get your records, who you bought it from, OK? And I'll ring them.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I told you, a long time ago. All the records, I can't go and check them.
0:14:57 > 0:15:03The shopkeeper's not happy to lose stock, but Rob is definitely sending this bottle for analysis.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Thank you for your cooperation. - Have a nice one. - It makes it a lot easier. OK?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10There is no suggestion the shopkeeper had any idea it was a fake.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16The main indicator is this very cheap-looking label.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21This bottle was sent back to the manufacturer who confirmed it was counterfeit.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Getting it off the shelves will have saved one shopper from wasting £30,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28but across the country fake champagne is big business.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Later, we'll see the West London storeroom full of fake champagne,
0:15:33 > 0:15:39and see the British single left devastated after meeting a fake soldier.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I was crying a lot. I couldn't sleep.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47I was upset of what I did to myself.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58The UK Border agency are on an operation looking for fake workers.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01They've raided a food production company in West London,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03and found photocopies of all the staff's passports.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06They think as many as eight of them are fakes,
0:16:06 > 0:16:12and they've been presented to the company by people who have no right to work here.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I am therefore arresting you and you are liable to be detained.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18This man has definitely aroused suspicion.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23He entered the UK on a Brazilian passport, which would mean he's not entitled to get a job here.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28But his company records show that he presented a Portuguese passport to get his job,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31so the officers think it must be a fake.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Stand up, leave your bag there. Unzip...unzip.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Have you got anything sharp in your pockets?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I'll be with you in a minute, OK?
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- This is my job to do that. - Excuse me...excuse me.- Listen... - Don't treat me like a criminal!
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I told you three or four times. I'll walk to...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I have to hold your hand just in case you may fall.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59You're coming behind me... How many people are here?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- He has a legal obligation, sir. - Don't treat me like a criminal!'
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Come on.- I'm not going nowhere.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11The team will have to go to the man's house
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and search for any clues as to his real identity,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and look for the suspected fake Portuguese passport.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And he's not happy about it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Let's go. - I have something in my locker.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- I've asked you...- I have personal things in my locker. Excuse me.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Yes, I know. We will get somebody to get the stuff from your locker. We'll get your stuff.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- What's your locker number? - I don't remember.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36You are not making things any easier helping by being difficult.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Do you believe in God?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41For all things you do down here, you pay.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48The other workers will also have their home addresses searched for the fake passports they presented.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The team think they are heading for the worker's home to check his documents,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54but he's got a surprise in store for them.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00His keys don't fit the front door.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Did you gave me a false address?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04No, it's not false.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06You gave me an old address, then?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- This house...- Your previous address? - But now it's my new address, just to make sure...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12'And it turns out'
0:18:12 > 0:18:13the address he's given us is an old one.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Now, he claims he just gave it to us because he was nervous and confused.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I think it's more likely he was trying to mislead us, but he's given us another address,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and we'll go on to that address to pick up his papers.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28This time there's no mistake,
0:18:28 > 0:18:32and the team carry out a full search of the man's room.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Bingo! This is what the man didn't want them to find.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51We've got his Brazilian passport,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54which obviously shows his true nationality.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00It was hidden along with a counterfeit National Insurance card in amongst his Bible.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01There we go!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03And that's not the only revelation.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06That's the counterfeit Portuguese passport.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We have the document,
0:19:08 > 0:19:13and from what I can see here there's plenty of evidence
0:19:13 > 0:19:15that suggests to me that this is a counterfeit document,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18which all adds to what we found with his Brazilian documents.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24He won't have much choice. We'll be looking to return him to Brazil as soon as we can.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26By you having this, you could potentially go to prison.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31The man wasn't jailed, but he was sent back to Brazil a few weeks later.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36And later on, we'll see how the team have to deal with some unexpected finds
0:19:36 > 0:19:39as they continue their home searches.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42So you came four years ago, hidden in a lorry...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And more from the world of fake champagne.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47But it looks like the party's over for the counterfeiters.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Having one of these Blue Badges allows a person with a disability
0:19:58 > 0:20:01to park for free close to where they need to be.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05That means it could save somebody thousands of pounds a year in parking costs,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10and for some people that's irresistible, even if they're not entitled to it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15This is Harrow town centre,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18and, as with most London boroughs, parking is at a premium.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22But if you're the holder of a Blue Badge, as issued to disabled road users,
0:20:22 > 0:20:27you can park for free, and also use spaces reserved for those with problems moving around.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32You can even park on double yellow lines.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34But there's one simple condition...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37whoever the Blue Badge was issued to must be with you.
0:20:38 > 0:20:44Across the country, councils believe that half of the Blue Badges are being fraudulently used
0:20:44 > 0:20:47by friends and family of the person with a disability.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53But in Harrow town centre, the council's counter-fraud team are patrolling the streets
0:20:53 > 0:20:58to make sure the badges are being used to help the people they were issued to.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01We're just checking to see what cars have what badges,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04just so we can keep an eye on them.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08It's not long before Sonia spots a car displaying a Blue Badge,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11but there's no sign of a disabled person in the vehicle.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Is this your daughter?- My daughter. - Where is your daughter at the moment?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- In the shopping centre.- Because obviously I've just pulled up
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and I need to be able to see the badge holder.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24But I need to obviously verify that the badge holder's with you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28And at the moment, all I've seen is you... Can we go and see if we can find...?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I don't know where she could be in the shopping centre...
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Have you not got a contact number for the carer... that we can just phone?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Because obviously you need to have the badge holder with you.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43The couple in the car insist they have just dropped their disabled daughter off, but Sonia wants proof.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47If you had your disabled daughter with you'd want to park nearer to the thing.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49This is where the parking is.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- But the parking's over there, did you try?- Yes, we did.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58You just said maybe it was full, so it's either one or the other.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02The counter-fraud team have plainclothes police officers on hand to assist.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06They claim that they've dropped the daughter off at the cinema with her carer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Now the story's gone from gone to the cinema
0:22:08 > 0:22:11to "Let me go and find her in the cinema,"
0:22:11 > 0:22:13to "She might have gone into the shops".
0:22:13 > 0:22:18The Blue Badge will be seized if the team think the couple never had their daughter with them.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- This is one of the policemen.- Hello.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22That's fine.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Why don't we come to the cinema with you and let's see if we can find her?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Why don't we do that?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30We will do that if you give me some time.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'll come with you. It'll shorten the time.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- I don't know where- BLEEP - is right now. I'm trying to get hold of her.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- You said- BLEEP- is going to the cinema.- She is going to the cinema.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41I've dropped her here. If she's popped into a few shops, it's not going to be five minutes.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Have you got the carer's number? - No, I'm not going to give you the carer's number.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- I don't have to do that, do I? - Well, it would help.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52When Sonia finally gets the carer's number, nobody is answering,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55but Sonia has an ace up her sleeve.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58We have CCTV cameras down here. What time did you pull up?
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Despite all her protests, this woman later accepted a caution for misuse of her badge
0:23:04 > 0:23:07and was given a parking ticket.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12The people hit hardest by Blue Badge abuse are of course those who need it the most.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17But road users like Helen Dolphin say it's never been harder to get around.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20It's got so difficult to use my Blue Badge now
0:23:20 > 0:23:22that I actually rarely go into my city centre,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25because all the parking bays are just taken up.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Now, whether they're taken up by people who shouldn't be using those badges
0:23:29 > 0:23:31or whether they're fakes, I don't know.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36I don't think these kind of people do really appreciate the kind of difficulties
0:23:36 > 0:23:39that their...basically, their selfishness is causing.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The team out on the streets of Harrow are trying to make life easier for people like Helen,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46but they've found another case.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- I've come to collect them if they were here.- Right.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53- I've just explained to your colleague that I was running late...- Yeah.- So I'm hoping they're still in Harrow.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58- Right, OK.- And if they're not... I've just tried to ring them, it's going into voicemail.- Right.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Do you have a contact number?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I don't need to give you that.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07There's a Blue Badge in the front windscreen of the car, but no sign of the child it was issued to.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I don't believe the badge holder's with you and I don't believe...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Well, he's obviously not with him. - Let me finish, please,- BLEEP.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- ..or that you've come to collect him.- Right.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19So I'm asking you again, where is the badge holder?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I've told you he should be in Harrow.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26OK. If you can find them, please bring them back and obviously we will be able to verify that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- OK, then, I'll go and look for him. So can I leave my car here?- Yes.
0:24:29 > 0:24:35- I won't get a ticket?- I'll instruct the parking attendant not to give a ticket for the next ten minutes.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37My ten minutes start from when I start walking, yeah?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Mr- BLEEP,- may I suggest you go and try to find the badge holder and your wife?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- You're going to be here? - Yeah, I'm not moving from here.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48The man's got 10 minutes to prove he's telling the truth.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's been 15 minutes, we'll give him benefit of the doubt,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and maybe give him another 5, 10 minutes to return.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09If he does return with the badge holder, all well and good.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12If not, he will be given a parking ticket,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16and he will be asked to attend an interview at some point in the near future.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Hi.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- She's gone home.- She's gone home, has she?- I phoned home and she's had to catch the bus.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26Finally, he's back, but on his own, and that means another revoked badge.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30You're taking the badge cos you think I've been abusing it?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Yes. I'm intrigued. Where's the car seat...?- Sorry?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38For the child? If you were coming to pick up your child, where's the car seat?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- My wife's got the car seat. - Your wife's got the car seat?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Because it's easier for her to carry in a car seat than in a pram. - Right, OK.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- I have cautioned you. - I'm going to speak to my solicitor. - That's fine, not a problem.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Do I need to be here?- Yes, you do need to be here, Mr- BLEEP.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54But nothing with this man is straightforward.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Are you living at- BLEEP? - I could be.- Right.- But might not be.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Is that a threat Mr- BLEEP? - You took it as a threat!
0:26:02 > 0:26:07I haven't said anything. I said I'm sure I'll be seeing you somewhere. You take it however you want.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I'm sure our paths will cross.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14But with the Blue Badge now definitely seized this driver's heard enough.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19At the end of a busy day, the Harrow counter-fraud team have seized 16 badges,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22all found being used fraudulently.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Good news for badge holders like Helen Dolphin.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I completely support the work of the Blue Badge investigation teams.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Something has to be done to stop this abuse because it's stopping a lot of disabled people from getting about
0:26:34 > 0:26:37and doing everything that they need to do.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48British consumers are being sold cheap sparkling wine and even fruit juice,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52badged up as expensive famous-brand champagne.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54But Trading Standards in Wandsworth, SW London,
0:26:54 > 0:26:59have saved local residents hundreds of pounds by seizing all these fakes.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Here in Wandsworth we've seized
0:27:00 > 0:27:02bottles of counterfeit Bollinger
0:27:02 > 0:27:07that we found in various off-licences in the borough.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10We've submitted them to the agents acting for Bollinger,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12and they've identified them as cheap sparkling wine.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21These were being sold at or very close to the correct price you'd expect to pay.
0:27:21 > 0:27:29I think the smaller bottles were £35, and the bigger bottles, the big 1.5 litre bottles were £80.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33There's no question that these were being passed off as the real thing.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38If you bought a few bottles of this stuff, you'd be seriously out of pocket.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41But there are a few pointers on what to watch out for.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43This is a genuine one.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47As you can see, the price it was sold for, 34.99,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51which is about the same price as the counterfeit ones we've seized.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56If you compare the genuine one here to the counterfeit one...
0:27:56 > 0:28:00if you look very closely, you can actually see the difference.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02The labels at the top here...
0:28:02 > 0:28:06the Bollinger is embossed, slightly embossed on the genuine one,
0:28:06 > 0:28:11as is the red label, Bollinger's embossed on there, where it's all flat.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I suspect the average purchaser wouldn't notice.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19But the fakers haven't even stopped at making famous name brands.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24Even the bargain end of the market is getting hit by counterfeiters who want your cash.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Have you ever tried Donmonay or Raymond Vadim Champagne?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Well, I hope not!
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Because these cheeky little numbers have been fooling customers in shops and even restaurants across the UK.
0:28:39 > 0:28:46But Linda Plested of Mid Surrey Trading Standards has been seizing them by the trolley load.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49The names just sound like a champagne name,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Donmonay and Raymond Vadim.
0:28:51 > 0:28:57I mean, they both sound very genuine, really, don't they? They're completely fake.
0:28:57 > 0:29:05These particular brands don't actually exist, they're not champagne that's listed in France at all.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07This was being sold for £20,
0:29:07 > 0:29:13but we do know that the chap that bought it, the owner of the shop,
0:29:13 > 0:29:14actually bought them for £10 each,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17and he bought them from a white-van man.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22And for that sort of money, what do you get to wet your whistle with?
0:29:23 > 0:29:24There we go.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Quite acidic.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Nice?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33No, not at all.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36No, it's...horrible.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41I would suggest it is some sort of cheap wine. It's got a lot of sulphur dioxide in it.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Catches you at the back of your throat...
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Worth £20?
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Oh, no!
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Definitely not, no.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58David, you're from Trading Standards.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Fake champagne, is nothing safe any more?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Well, I think where there's a market for it,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04and where the products can sell at a reasonable price,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06counterfeiters will have a go at it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Because if there are people willing to buy it, then they'll make it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12You've hit the nail on the head there. It's the market, it's the money.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Absolutely. And what counterfeiters will do is move around from product to product.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20It could be champagne this year, could be wine, could be vodka the following year.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23They're aiming this sort of product at people who aren't connoisseurs, aren't they?
0:30:23 > 0:30:29Well, I think it's aimed at the person who occasionally buys champagne,
0:30:29 > 0:30:35and perhaps will go to somewhere and think, "I just need the champagne, that looks OK, I'll buy that."
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Give me the common denominators, the things you should look out for.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43You know, where are you buying it from? If you're buying it from a smaller corner shop,
0:30:43 > 0:30:50then if the name doesn't look familiar or the label looks a bit dodgy, then I'd say don't buy it,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52and call your Trading Standards office.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Thousands of people across Britain have found love online.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Teaching Assistant Ilana Brown thought she had too,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08with a handsome American soldier who was serving in Iraq.
0:31:08 > 0:31:16So when he asked her for £300 to help out a fellow soldier who'd been shot, Ilana sent him the money.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21He got the money, he said, "Thank you very much for your help. Thank you for what you done for me today."
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Sent me more messages of love.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I was a bit happy cos maybe I helped someone.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34What Ilana didn't realise was that she wasn't talking to an American serviceman.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38She was talking to a conman, falsely claiming he was a soldier,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42whilst really he was targeting her to get at her cash.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43After two weeks,
0:31:43 > 0:31:48he said, "Oh, please, I really need some help again with money.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54"If you give me £1,000, I'll give you 1,600."
0:31:57 > 0:31:59And like all good fraudsters,
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Ilana's fake soldier knew a little romance would make her drop her guard.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08"I've sent you this message and a letter of love from me to you."
0:32:08 > 0:32:12I've got an overdraft that I could take out some more money.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17I took £1,600 and sent it to him.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23I know that someone will hear it and can say that I might be stupid to do that,
0:32:23 > 0:32:29but when you are inside this situation, you think you're helping someone,
0:32:29 > 0:32:34and you don't think that this person is going to trick you and lie to you.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38But the longer they kept talking, the more Terry kept asking for money.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41He told Ilana he was due to leave the army soon,
0:32:41 > 0:32:45and would be due a large payment which he would give to her as a gift.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48He even sent her the paperwork to prove it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Ilana didn't realise it, but this was a classic scam.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57The paperwork said that to receive Terry's huge payment from the army
0:32:57 > 0:33:01all Ilana had to do was pay the Army's administration fees.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04But the fees cost far more money than she had.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07He sent a letter that is from the American Army,
0:33:07 > 0:33:12saying that I need to pay £4,225
0:33:12 > 0:33:19in order for me to get his fund which is 300,000 to my account.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25Then my bank manager said to me... I showed this to him and I said, "Can I have a loan?"
0:33:26 > 0:33:34He said, "I think you might be dealing with someone who is trying to trick you,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37"and he might be false and a fraud."
0:33:37 > 0:33:41And so I said, "OK, I'm not sending it if it's like that."
0:33:41 > 0:33:48I went home, I sent this criminal a text message
0:33:48 > 0:33:52saying, "You are a bad man. You're trying to trick me."
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Then that day he rang me,
0:33:55 > 0:34:01and he said, "You know I'm never going to hurt you.
0:34:01 > 0:34:08"Your bank manager is just trying to break between me and you.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13"And it's not true. I like you and I'm never going to hurt you."
0:34:13 > 0:34:17So therefore the day after I sent this money.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Suddenly the romance seemed to go cold.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24He's not replying to my messages any more, he stopped...
0:34:26 > 0:34:32In truth, there was no Terry from the US Army. He was a fake soldier
0:34:32 > 0:34:34and had printed out the letters himself.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Even the photos he sent were of someone else.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Once he had her money, he had no reason to keep chatting.
0:34:42 > 0:34:49He took...by that time he took from me almost £10,000.
0:34:49 > 0:34:56And now, because I took a loan of £4,200,
0:34:56 > 0:35:01the interest on that will make it much more than £10,000.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04And I have to face it and pay it now.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Ilana didn't listen to her bank manager,
0:35:07 > 0:35:12but had she called the American Embassy in London they would have told her there was no soldier
0:35:12 > 0:35:15and no lump sum payment coming her way.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Staff here often receive a call after a scammer has tricked someone out of their savings
0:35:21 > 0:35:23by pretending to be an American soldier.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Did they ask you for money?
0:35:25 > 0:35:26How do you know the person?
0:35:26 > 0:35:30We generally get about a thousand calls during the year,
0:35:30 > 0:35:36maybe 4,000 to 5,000 e-mail inquiries about these kinds of scams.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38They've existed for many, many years,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40but we do see an uptick
0:35:40 > 0:35:45in the last year or two in the number of calls that we're getting.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47These scammers now are going out...
0:35:47 > 0:35:52very easy to go on to Facebook, to get in on blogs or Twitter accounts,
0:35:52 > 0:35:56and to target people who might be vulnerable,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58and so it's very easy for them to...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00they just have to cast their net,
0:36:00 > 0:36:07and they can bring in just dozens, hundreds, probably, thousands of victims.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I was crying a lot, I couldn't sleep.
0:36:09 > 0:36:16I was upset of what I did to myself by giving my money,
0:36:16 > 0:36:20the money that some of them I saved for my children,
0:36:20 > 0:36:24for them for education,
0:36:24 > 0:36:30and some money I wanted to buy a little car for myself,
0:36:30 > 0:36:37and I just gave it away to those kind of people who do not deserve even a penny.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Bernard, you work with the National Fraud Authority
0:36:45 > 0:36:48and deal a lot with romance scams. What sort of people are you up against?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Well, this is an example of organised crime.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54These are professional criminals who are looking for different ways to take money off their victims.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57And romance fraud is just one of a number of things they may be doing.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02They may also be engaged in drug trafficking, people trafficking, all kinds of other organised crime.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04And this may be funding their enterprise.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Probably a lot of people don't come forward and report this.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08No, people don't report.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12We've had a few hundred reports in the last couple of months,
0:37:12 > 0:37:16and the total value of those reports, the money lost, is about three million pounds,
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- Just for this country.- These are people in our country calling our own actual fraud reporting centre.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25And we really would encourage people to report because it's only by doing that that we'll know about it
0:37:25 > 0:37:28and be able to catch these criminals by linking the different cases,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31cos they'll be running tens or even hundreds of these cases in parallel.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Are there common denominators that these criminals use to try and get the money out you,
0:37:35 > 0:37:37things that to us are warning signs?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40I think there's always this question of urgency, it's usually desperate,
0:37:40 > 0:37:43it's usually got to be done within 24 hours, some kind of crisis has arisen,
0:37:43 > 0:37:47so it doesn't give you time to think rationally and think can this be true?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Why would this have happened so suddenly?
0:37:49 > 0:37:53How could this person have had a fourth catastrophe in a matter of days and needing yet more money?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Then how they ask for the money. It's unlikely they're going to give you details of their bank accounts.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01It's more likely they'll ask you to send money through Western Union or MoneyGram, these transfer agencies,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04it's a bit anonymous, more difficult to track.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05So all these are things to look out for,
0:38:05 > 0:38:09but, above all, don't send money to people you don't know, it's as basic as that.
0:38:14 > 0:38:20Earlier, the UK Border Agency raided a food production company in West London.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Illegal working costs the country billions of pounds in tax each year.
0:38:24 > 0:38:31But today, the Border Agency have arrested eight men on suspicion of using fake IDs to get a job.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Now the hunt is on for proof, and that means checking the workers' home addresses
0:38:35 > 0:38:38to try and find the fake documents.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- Any ID?- No.- You must have something, my friend. How long have you been in the country?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46One of the workers from the factory lives here,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49but UK Border Agency staff have found two other men inside.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53They suspect they've arrested this one before.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54Where do you live now, sir?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Now, on Rayners Lane.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00The man's admitted that he was recently caught working illegally
0:39:00 > 0:39:03and should be regularly signing in with the Border Agency.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- We have no record.- No, OK.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08But he never turned up to sign in.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13Now he'll be arrested again whilst the Border Agency try to deport him.
0:39:13 > 0:39:19- Since you've been in the UK, have you ever been stopped by the police or Immigration?- No.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21But this man's got a confession.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23From which country?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25France to here.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- You came from France, hidden in a container, in a lorry?- In a lorry.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34So you came four years ago, hidden in a lorry, from France to the UK?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Questioning this man could take a while,
0:39:38 > 0:39:43so the rest of the team carry out a search for any identity documents
0:39:43 > 0:39:47belonging to the man at the factory who also lives here.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52The search has revealed how the man has been able to stay in the UK and get work.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55They've found his fake passport with a fake work visa.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58There's certainly large portions of this which are faked.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Counterfeit bio-data page. It's pretty poor quality.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05It's certainly worse than the things we were seeing earlier at the workplace.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08So I can't imagine that he's used this for that much,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10but then again he's got bank cards and bank statements,
0:40:10 > 0:40:16so it's quite likely that this document has been used to get the low-level documentary evidence
0:40:16 > 0:40:19to build his identity in the UK.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22So starting with a forged document, making his way on to bank cards
0:40:22 > 0:40:24and so on and so forth, until the identity is established,
0:40:24 > 0:40:29meaning that he then can operate in this identity as opposed to his real identity,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31for which we've found next to no paperwork so far.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34And moments later they find another passport.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39These are both forged documents, this one is much closer to what you'd expect.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43So he's probably paid more for that than for this one
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Where did you obtain this passport from?
0:40:50 > 0:40:55You can be prosecuted for possession of this document.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56That's a criminal offence.
0:40:56 > 0:41:02And typically they would attract a prison, a custodial sentence of 6-12 months.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06We want your original passport. We want your real passport.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11The officers need his real passport to quickly return him to his home country.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15They believe that he is Indian, but need his genuine passport to prove it,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18so continue searching in case it's here,
0:41:18 > 0:41:23but there's no sign of a genuine passport, so the man will be arrested.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27He's got a counterfeit passport, found in his belongings,
0:41:27 > 0:41:31and we believe he's an illegal entrant and we're going to detain him
0:41:31 > 0:41:35to see if we can make inquiries to establish his real identity and get him a passport.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39The man insists he cannot produce his genuine passport.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44And as neither of the men are supposed to be in the country, they are taken into custody.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49Although they didn't find any identity documents belonging to the man from the factory,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51it's proved a worthwhile visit.
0:41:52 > 0:41:59The men were both later released, but required to report in regularly to the UK Border Agency.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04The man on the right followed his instructions and will be supplied with a passport to get him home.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08But since being arrested this man has absconded.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Over in Mid Surrey,
0:42:16 > 0:42:20the Trading Standards team have found the perfect solution for their fake champagne.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24As well as prosecuting shopkeepers for selling it,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27they've got a bring-a-bottle party planned
0:42:27 > 0:42:29with the stock they've seized.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35The venue is the local recycling plant.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Just be glad it's not your throat it's being poured down!
0:42:42 > 0:42:46I hereby name this champagne... completely fake!
0:42:54 > 0:42:57That's all from Fake Britain today. Bye for now.
