The Law Pages in today's London Times profiles www.fakealibi.co.uk,
bizarrely promoted as "the World's Only Legitimate Alibi Service"
and " the only website that gives you assistance, in whatever
you are doing" ...
With the pressures of modern life many of us have occasion
to stray from our long term partners and dally with a brief
sexual or emotional relationship with a third party, this
is often a short term affair, inconsequential to our long
term plans and relationships, but with modern communications,
and media, it has become increasingly difficult to be able
to carry on such a temporary dalliance, without risk of detection,
Any chance of such a relationship becoming public knowledge
in any way whatsoever can put an incredible strain on all
parties concerned.
Family life, the home, business and children's welfare can
all be put on the line for what may indeed have been a totally
inconsequential short term flurry of sexual or emotional feelings.
We have been established to provide a way out of this situation,
we offer a Service which can help to protect your loved ones
from undue anxiety, and help to ensure the stability of a
long term relationship and financial security, by offering
secure and professional handling of "Alibi's" for you.
The service supposedly claims to have over 21,000 satisfied
customers who use it to provide cover for extramarital liaisons
(including fake invites to conferences, provision of false accommodation
info and misleading phone calls to a client’s partner). Judging
by its site it also offers private investigation services in
the US, UK, Belgium and Australia.
If you are a wannabe Danger Mouse FakeAlibi asks
Have you ever dreamed of living an alternative, secret life?
The majority of our agents are normal people living ordinary
lives, some are bankers, teachers even TV presenters - but
when they receive the call from us - they know an exciting
adventure is about to begin.
Although most of our agents work part time and whenever the
need arises for their help they always free their time for
us, but some are now working full time - they are our "Special
Agents"
As of two months ago we now have a structure of command for
our organisation ... F.A Commander - Joint Commander - Diamond
Agent - Special Agent- Secret Agent - Agent - Trainee/Administration
Perhaps someone has been watching too many Schwarzenegger movies
before writing copy (or creating a spoof).
Arguably the service, if it is indeed for real, is legally and
ethically problematical. A FakeAlibi rep reportedly commented
that “We have a solicitor who advises us and if we have a job
that we feel is a bit too edgy, we consult him”. There is no
indication of what happens if it is misled.
The service is of course using its powers for good, rather than
for evil:
The people who come to us are already having affairs. In some
cases we are helping to save marriages. People having affairs
are often not doing so because they want to destroy everything
but because of any number of other reasons. They might be
frustrated because of the long-term illness of their spouse
or lonely because their partner is always away. They want
to preserve their marriages and there might be children involved.
People could get hurt if everything came out, and by helping
to conceal the affair or fling we are actually assisting the
stability of family life.
Uh huh.
