WARNING: FakeYourID is a scam - Lost $250
I'm posting this to warn everyone about FakeYourID (fakeyourid dot com). They are 100% a scam.
**Timeline:**
- Jan 15: Placed order for 5 IDs, paid $250 via Bitcoin
- Jan 17: Received confirmation email saying "processing"
- Jan 25: Asked for update, they said "shipped, 2-3 weeks"
- Feb 10: Still nothing, asked for tracking number
- Feb 12: They gave me a fake tracking number that doesn't work
- Feb 15-20: Sent multiple emails, no response
- Feb 22: Website is now down completely
**Red flags I ignored:**
- No reviews on Reddit or anywhere else
- Suspiciously low prices
- Poor English in their emails
- Generic website template
- Only accepted Bitcoin (no refunds)
**Lesson learned:** Stick to verified vendors with good reputations. If it seems too good to be true, it is.
Don't make my mistake. Only use vendors that are consistently recommended here. I should have gone with OISF or IDGod from the start.
Has anyone else fallen for this scam?

Good idea. The BTC address was: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
If anyone else sent money there, please comment. We should report this.

Thanks for posting this. Sites like that pop up every few months, scam people, then disappear. This is exactly why we keep saying to only use trusted vendors. Sorry you lost your money.

Rule of thumb: If a vendor isn't talked about on this forum or r/fakeid, don't use them. There are maybe 5-6 legit vendors max. Everyone else is either a scam or terrible quality.

Can you post the Bitcoin address you sent money to? We can track it and see if others got scammed too. Sometimes these scammers use the same addresses.

I almost ordered from them last week! Their prices were like $40 per ID which seemed amazing. Thank god I searched Reddit first and didn't find anything. Now I know why - they're brand new scammers.
