Why we’ve published this
Fake IDs and deepfakes are now cheaper and easier to get than ever before. While we need advanced tech to fight serious fraud, this report shows the funny side: awkward verification attempts that made us laugh.
Some of these silly attempts might just be people experimenting rather than trying to commit crimes, but they still break the rules. Amusing examples are rare—most fraudsters we catch are much more careful and skilled in their deception.
