Red Corner: Fake Vacations, Russian Style
.jpg)
Interested in sneaking away with your mistress for the weekend but can't figure out how to lie to the wife? How about a fake business trip?
We here at Gadling certainly don't advocate such infidelity, but as a service to our readers who do (shame on you!) there is a company in Moscow that specializes in fake vacations.
For just a few hundred dollars, Persey Tours will provide ticket stubs, fake hotel receipts, souvenirs, doctored photos of the philanderer at a distant location (see promotional photo above), and even a cell phone with the appropriate area code. Even the most suspicious of spouses will be fooled by such a detailed web of deception--as will friends or co-workers you want to impress with your "exotic" travel.
The LA Times article from which this story comes also covers the rash of other forgery services available in Russia. Although not really travel related, the remainder of the article is well worth a read. Who knows, one day you may suddenly need a fake diploma from the Russian State Medical University. Now you know where to get it.

This sounds like one of the sub-plots of the short story and the movie, Total Recall, with the Governator. You take a virtual vacation and they provide you with real documents to prove that you were there.
