unfortunately it's more common than you think. I know someone who bought an aircraft, and then somehow magically had 1000 hours extra in their pilots logbook using that aircraft's rego, however when the same machine was onsold sometime shortly after, the M/R only had about 250 hours or so on it.
the worst part about the whole story, the company that then employed knew about it, but still put them on purely because there was no-one else about at the time that ticked the right boxes hourswise on type as far as the contract they had required.
Who would you say is worse, the guy for bodging his logbook, or the company that knowingly turned the blind eye to it?
Pity that the said person is flying overseas now, I would've loved to have seen CASA check out their logbook.
