Facebook Marketplace: Medical Certificates for Sale in Chile

Medical Certificates Sold on Facebook Marketplace in Chile Santiago, Chile – A recent broadcast by Chilean radio show "Ingobernables" revealed a shocking trend: the sale of fraudulent medical certificates on Facebook Marketplace. Hosts expressed outrage at the ease with which these certificates, offering durations from one to 30 days, could be purchased using WebPay. One host stated, "It's a scandal! This is a problem, a scandal!" The listings, easily found by searching "licencias medicas" (medical certificates), highlight a significant loophole in the system. The show's discussion underscores the potential for abuse, particularly by those seeking to avoid work or other obligations. The accessibility of WebPay as a payment method further exacerbates the issue. Authorities are yet to comment on this developing situation, but the broadcast has sparked widespread public concern and calls for increased oversight of online marketplaces. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance against online fraud and the potential for misuse of digital platforms.
