It's just the tip of the iceberg anyway. According to a friend of mine who was flying in West Africa - he said he'd flown with people who hadn't a clue. Not the locals mind, but nationals from the Asian sub continent and former Eastern Bloc countries. Fictional logbooks of course are already "de riguer", so the license is logical next step. Take people who have lost the licenses for various reasons, new ID, new license, still can walk the walk and talk the talk. Money buys you anything, if you can get a vitually perfect forged passport why not a license?
