It’s not a good idea take your photo, signature, birthdate, full name, eye color and address, send it off to oblivion and carry on without concern. Of course, the thing they’re probably not worried about (and should be) is what happens to their personal information after the company manufactures their fake IDs. The site advertises IDs with security features like holograms and scannable barcodes, making them more attractive to teens afraid of getting caught. Buyers share their legitimate driver’s licenses with the ID seller, pay hundreds of dollars and, in about a week, have a fraudulent duplicate of their license, showing their age as 21. It’s a matter of concern, according to a news report out of DePere, Wisconsin, where police have noticed the trend of college students buying fake IDs from China-based ID Chief. Sure, anything can be compromised, but asking a stranger in a foreign country to manufacture an identifying document for you opens the door to someone stealing your identity. However, sending your personal information to a fake ID business isn’t exactly the same thing as entering your credit card information on a reputable merchant’s website. To no one’s surprise, the industry has moved online, with young Americans ordering fake IDs much the same way they would buy red plastic cups in bulk off : fill out a form and click to buy - done. Many entrepreneurs have stories of creating a successful fake-ID business on college campuses (it’s illegal, but it’s lucrative), because as long as there have been rules, there have been people looking to break them. The fake ID has been a popular purchase for decades among Americans younger than the drinking age.
