On Friday, February 13, TikTok was flooded with recordings and comments claiming that OldIron, makingafakeid.com, and IDGod’s id card fakes were “no longer scanned.” Customers post recordings and comments on the app, notifying their peers and devotees in advance.

“I used to go to bars like this and my ID was fake and it was taken.”

“My old beer shop took my fake and called the police.”

“I downloaded the ID check app from the app store and it filtered my best fake id before, now it says it’s most likely fake.”

On TikTok, Group Interviews, and Snapchat, those remarks and recordings have turned into Gen Z discussions.

If you open another tab and seek “why no more scanning fake ids?” nothing modern or relevant will appear. If fundamentally all fake IDs are not substantive at the moment, then why isn’t there an article about it?

Who solved the case? How long has this exam been taken? How to filter yesterday’s id card fake, but not today? While it’s no joke, the media doesn’t discuss it. Why is this happening?

There are many inquiries, but there are several responses. I spent hours looking for a response. I found someone posting on reddit. I would peruse the local area, save the URL and come back to the page in a few hours, so I can’t find the page.

An article by Bill Helzel that I found in the Westchester and Fairfield Area Business Journal states: “The examiner found an ID card printer, 3,000 clear ID cards, 11 clad pressure sleeves, three Fake government-run retirement cards, over 100 fake id cards, many fake OSHA cards and visas held in other people’s names.” Although this article was published on January 25, does this data correlate with “the 1920s?” the initial economic crisis”?

Mackenzie Moore of The Day to day Cardinal said: “The typical GPA for the fall 2021 semester was just under 3.4, while assignments submitted since last Thursday raised the school’s normal GPA to 3.8. Again, after the fake id embarrassment, participating 20% more classes on Friday.”

Then I found a Facebook page with no name associated with the page. The title of the page is @securelicense on Facebook and the title of the page is “Keep Your Role Secure”. There are a lot of posts on the page, but it doesn’t say that the data is pretty much all IDs that don’t really matter at the moment.

“In criminal proceedings in U.S. District Court in Kaifeng, two men have long been in the business of selling different kinds of id card fakes […] Michael Kruise Williams, 30, from Mamaroneck, 28, from the Bronx. Pedro “Pesos” Whitefields’ Vasquez describes a scheme to manufacture and sell counterfeit OSHA security cards, driver’s licenses, government-managed retirement cards and birth certificates.”

“In July 2021, the National Security Inspection (HSI) obtained data from customs and airline security officers at the Kennedy Post Office in a data package located in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, NJ, and Connecticut, NJ, and contained data with Multidimensional image overlay. Also, Florida.”

Since February 13, I’ve seen TikTok kids use their scannable fake ids to say they can work anyway.

I don’t know what to think. Is this just a conversation that Gen Z started and spread?

Regardless, make sure you’re protected outside, students!
