From the department of the completely obvious

Buried in the article about how you can get fake ids that will fool even the experts was the revelation that many buyers of these ids have found themselves the victims of identity theft.

I mean, really. You provide your personal information to a company that specializes in creating fake ids, and you're surprised to find yourself ripped off?

And it gets better-- law enforcement knows about these people being ripped off because they report the crime. "Hey, I bought an illegal id from this company in X, and then they used my information to get bogus credit cards and drain my debit account..."

Kind of like the guy who called 911 to report that his drugs had been stolen. Appears that the clue bus drove right by these people without stopping.
