Beware: "FastFakeIDs" Taking Orders But Not Delivering
Yeah I nearly fell for a similar one last year. The fake reviews were the thing that got me close too — all posted within like a two-day window, same phrasing. That plus a copycat domain that was just one letter off from a legit-seeming name. My rule now is if they push crypto only and won't answer a simple email question before payment, it's a pass.
Man, that site is a honeypot if I ever saw one. Glad you dodged it — the copycat domain alone should've been enough, but those fake reviews really sealed it for me. I almost got caught in the same trap last month with a similar setup; it took my money and ran before I even realized the "tracking" link was a phishing website. These guys specialize in selective scamming too, so even legit-looking orders get ghosted. Keep spreading the word here, it's honestly the best warning system we have.
Yeah, that whole thing screams scammer alert — even the so-called proof looks lifted. The copycat domain plus all those fake reviews are classic tells. I almost got burned by a similar honeypot last month, so I feel you. As someone else already said, stick to the trusted list no matter how tempting the deal looks. That's exactly how these people operate — they set up shop, take payments, and duck out before anyone realizes it's stolen money. Saved me from flushing cash down the drain.
Direct Bitcoin address. No payment processor, which should have been another red flag. Once it's sent there's no way to get it back.
This is why the trusted vendor list exists. If they're not on the list, don't order. Period.
Adding this to the scam database. Did you pay directly to a Bitcoin address or through a payment processor?
Thanks for posting this. I saw that same "FastFakeIDs" site advertised on Reddit last week, and honestly it looked way too good to be true — cheap, quick turnaround, and glowing testimonials that were almost definitely copy-pasted. I was like a click away from ordering when my gut told me to check here first, and I'm glad I did. This community has saved me a few hundred bucks and a lot of headache.
For anyone else who sees these pop up, here are the red flags that should've been obvious from the start:
First, the domain was brand new — registered like maybe a month ago. These guys rely on mass upvotes on sketchy subreddits or paid Reddit ads, then they disappear as soon as the complaints start rolling in. It's a classic exit scam pattern: take a bunch of orders, promise 2-week delivery, then ghost everyone once the Bitcoin hits their wallet. The "processing" emails seem legit for a week or two, then crickets.
Another big signal? Zero community review history. With established vendors you'll find at least some veteran users posting scans or giving feedback over months. This place had nothing except a few "I just ordered, will update" threads that never got updated. Also, watch out for vendors who only accept irreversible payment like cryptocurrency or gift cards — that's scam 101. A halfway legit op will at least offer some buyer protection or escrow if they've been around for a minute.
How do you protect yourself from falling for this? Always search the vendor name here with their URL and any payment method they use. Ask for a sample photo that includes a handwritten note with today's date — scammers can't fake that quickly. Never order from a vendor who's been active less than a couple months unless you see multiple trustable reviews from long-time members. And if the price is way below market average, it's likely a bait-and-switch. Stay safe and keep posting these warnings — it really does stop people from getting burned.
Yeah they're advertising everywhere. It's designed to catch people who don't know better. Spread the word!
Adding another scam site to the list so others don't get burned.
Site: FastFakeIDs(dot)net
What happened:
Ordered 3 weeks ago, paid $180 via Bitcoin. Site showed "Processing" for 10 days, then status changed to "Shipped" with a tracking number that doesn't exist.
Tried contacting them multiple times:
Red flags I should have noticed:
Learn from my mistake - stick to verified vendors only. Don't let a "good deal" cost you $180 like it did me.
