Fake ID - The Real Truth About Fake ID
Last Update Jan 2, 2012
Can fake
ID be used as a foundation for a new identity?
No, it can't! At first
glance it all seems simple enough. You go out on the Internet, buy a fake id
in your new name - usually a fake drivers license - and build a new life
around that single document. If only it were that simple!
Today using
a fake id can be dangerous - it can be a passport to disaster. These days
online verification terminals are popping up all over the place. Back in the
1990s the police were the only ones who had ready access to online drivers
license verification - but now just handing a fake ID to a bar bouncer could
land you in jail!
Pay attention as what I'm about to tell you can
save
you a lot of time, trouble - and a whole lot of cash!
The most
important thing you have to know about fake ID is that
you'll have an very hard
time actually getting your hands on
really high-quality fake id.
If you're lucky enough to know someone who's in the fake id business you
might be able to convince them to make one up for you. Even then you'd both
be taking a very big legal risk.
But what
about all those great-looking fake id sites on the internet? It's like a
supermarket of fake id out there! The bad news is that with rare exception -
they're all total rip-offs!
They'll promise you the moon but when it comes time to deliver, you get
little or nothing. They just take your money and run.
If you
complain to them - they'll threaten to put your picture out on the web as a
known child molester! Or if they do bother to send you something, you
can bet it will be so low quality it wouldn't fool anybody. (some fake id
sites guarantee to deliver fake drivers licenses, but when your license
arrives it's a worthless go-kart license!)
And don't
fall into the common trap of thinking that just because a site includes an
email address and/or a phone number - that makes them reliable. Email
messages and phone calls from irate suckers can be easily ignored.
Another
common belief is that if you order your fake ID from a source that's located
overseas (Usually in
England
or Sweden), you're more likely to get good-quality ID. NOT TRUE!
Foreign governments under pressure from the
U.S.
are going after these overseas suppliers.
Many of
these outfits set up phony "fake ID review" sites where they praise the
exceptional quality of their own products. It's all lies. Or the
really clever ones launch sites that state that they are trying to shut down
the fake ID industry by publishing the URLs of the very best,
highest-quality fake ID sites. (So you can avoid doing business with them)
It's all just a scam to make you think that their site is the very best -
then they take your money and run.
Never, ever,
under any circumstances send cash through the mail or by FedEx. If you do,
be sure to kiss your money goodbye before you send it off!
If any
particular fake id site catches your eye, try doing a Google search on their
business name or URL (In quotation marks) and I'll bet you'll find a ton of
complaints from irate ripped-off victims.
Here's an
actual case history which is, in our experience rather typical. A girl we
know named Susan wanted a fake id. She went out on the web in search of a
good deal. First she sent off an order to two fake ID sites that featured
slick looking fake drivers licenses on their web sites. The samples on their
sites looked really good. Two months later she was still waiting!
(despite having paid extra for "express overnight" priority service) Result:
over $200 down the drain!
These scam
artists know they can rip people off because
it's highly unlikely their victims will ever complain.
Exactly who would they complain to?
On a later attempt Susie finally got something for her money. But what was
advertised as a state-of-the-art fake drivers license arrived without the
words "drivers license" on the front. The font and the colors were all wrong
- in short - the thing looked terrible. It was a worthless piece of junk.
Another firm
gave claimed to provide "express service" but upon close examination the
photo and font looked a bit fuzzy. Not bad, it might even be useful under
some circumstances. At least that's what she thought until she flipped it
over and read the back. Across the back in bold red ink was stamped "Not a
Government Document - Novelty Document Only". She kept looking.
Her next
drivers license took over two months to arrive but was clearly the best of
the lot. Though the hologram was not quite right, she managed to use it
several times during the first few weeks. At last Susie was a happy camper.
Unfortunately several months later she read in the newspaper that the outfit
that had created her best fake id had been busted. The police announced they
had seized the firm's records and
would be investigating
all past customers! Oh No! She had no choice but
to burn the damned thing!
So what's
the moral of our sad little story? Total spent - over $650 and nothing to
show for it!

Now tell me - do you really want
to hand this guy your fake id?
Over the
years we've seen it happen so many times. Someone will purchase fake ID
documents and attempt to use them as the foundation of an entirely new
identity. No matter how you plan to live your new life, eventually one or
more of your identity documents will come under close scrutiny.
It might
happen when you apply for an apartment lease, when you attempt to open a
bank account, when you apply for insurance or when you buy a car. Then there
are the police. What will you do when a cop pulls you over out on the
highway?
However it
happens, you can be sure that someday someone is going to take a long and
careful look at your identity documents. And when the chips are down,
your fake id
can only get you into trouble - big trouble.
