Dunkield Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Has anyone with a fairly new FAC tried scanning it or copying it with a colour photocopier? I just took a copy of mine, which was issued in February of this year and it has what looks like 'fraud' printed as a watermark The old one certainly didn't do that. The certificate is genuine by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Yep mines the same Stu. I found out when I sent my tickets back for a change of address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macperc Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Mine doesn't have this problem and its only a few month old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Yep, its a couple of months old and does indeed say "FRAUD" at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Mine says FRAUD in great big letter where the firearms posessed section is. You can't do Money either, it just comes out black. Strangely enough though the Essex Police Badge comes out perfectly, just right for a fake warrant card.

scout Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Mine was issued in July this year and shows no marks to suggests it's a fraud on the copy I took. You'd think they'd standardise on the paperwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me and my lad Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 loads of stuff does this when copied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think it depends on the colour photocopier. The one at work wont copy money, when you try you just get a yellow page out. The copier is PC based and it has these types of images stored in the memory when it sees you trying to copy one of them it registers as fraud and in our case only printed yellow pages. On a low tech copier it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 The Nigerian fella who I bought my certificate from did warn me about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 My most recent one was ok (a couple of months ago). I'll give my new one a try when I get it back from the variation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
