illegal passport biz in Ukraine??

[RSM13]

My friend lost her passport and told me she was going to an illegal document office that might have her passport. She told me that, in the past, when she needed money, she sold her passport to this office and someone used her passport. Has any one ever heard of this type of business in Ukraine??

I knew a taxi driver in Moscow that was into this. He was driving me around to do errands (for my little scammer) and had to make a stop at a flooring store. He comes out with a stack of about 20 (intl) passports and takes them to an office building where we later pick them up and redistribute.

I played dumb but I can only imagine the trouble that I would have been in if we had been stopped and searched by the police.

Just come across the southern unsupervised border of the US along with the other million or so yearly "undocumented" aliens from Mexico, Carribean, China, etc. They will all be given amnisty soon by the government and have offical status then.

and that may even explain why my wife and her mother had "lost" their passport.
