Jin wen ping elaborate fake id site offers enticing scam hai kou city

I originally arrived at app-id.com through its positive reviews on underground-review.com (a site I believe they operate as well). I am 22 but my girlfriend is 20 and I wanted to get her a fake driver's license so we could go to bars and clubs together. The site sold fake IDs for any state for $100 with free standard shipping included. Throw in the "Fall Special" of two IDs for the price of one, and I was sold.

So, like an idiot, I followed the instructions and mailed $140 in cash to the address provided ($100 for two IDs plus $40 for rush shipping). The site seemed so well designed, with pictures of the "products, " customer reviews, and detailed instructions on their policies and procedures. The idea of mailing cash to a foreign country made me uneasy, but given the illicit nature of their business it made sense to me. I wouldn't want something like that on my credit card anyway. I have seen plenty of scams on the internet and have never fallen for any of them but this one got me. Be warned, this site looks very real. THEY ARE EXTREMELY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO: RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!!!

Once I placed my order, I received the following e-mail:

This e-mail was the last correspondence I ever had with them. I followed all the directions including mailing my payment and confirming it via the link. I checked the USPS website about a week later which confirmed that my money had arrived. They claimed that they would e-mail a proof of my product once payment was received, but that never happened. I have e-mailed them literally hundreds of times since, but with no response.

It has been several months now, and I know I will not get my money back. I only hope that you don't make the same mistake I did. App-id.com or any other website that asks you to send money to the address above IS A SCAM!!!
