What Happens If You Try To Buy FAKE ID On The Internet?

This is the true story of an 18 year old victim who got scammed trying to buy fake ID from a website (Old Iron Sides Fakes) that appeared to have lots of very favourable reviews and recommendations.

*Afterthoughts & Addenda*
*DO NOT RECOMMEND 'LEGIT' FAKE ID SERVICES IN THE COMMENTS* - we are *not doing that* here.
*EDIT: OK, comments are disabled now, because people wouldn't comply with the above*
Also, one thing I forgot to mention in this video is another, related category of scam. If you see glowing endorsements for people who can supposedly get your money back after you have been scammed, the people offering that service are scammers.

Dear blesseds, I have am buying Atomic Shrimp's delicious cupcakes for the third time on the occasion of my beloved mother's funeral. I cannot song the praises to the Heavens high enough of how tasty these cupcakes are. May the gods bestriken me down if I am not saying but the truth. Gladdened is my heart peace be with you.

Thanks and waiting.

One thing I really appreciate with this channel is the empathy you show scam victims and the simple and clear information you share with us and also use of humor. Victims often feel embarrassed and I've no doubt you've helped people feel better. So thanks for all you've done so far and what you'll do in the future.

"It definitely is a shop, I can tell from the pixels." Wow, that is an old meme that blasted me backwards in time a ways.

"Be rest assured" is an absolutely iconic phrase.

The empathy and care you show for scam victims is nothing short of beautiful. In a world where you can choose to be anything, you choose to be kind, and that in itself is something to be applauded. Even when dealing with the scammers personally, you don't choose to be high and mighty - you recognise why they might have got into this scenario, and that in itself is extremely noble. Keep it up, Mr Shrimp!

A bloke I worked with 25 years ago used to advertise VHS videos of 'woman with dog' in the back of porn mags. He was selling home footage of his wife walking the dog. No one ever tried to get their money back!

"be rest assured"
Me, having watched all of his scam baiting videos "thas a scam"

Fun fact: in 2019 and 2020, several illegal dumpling manufactories were busted in Vienna, Austria. A large number of dumplings had been produced in living quarters under insanitary conditions and sold to various restaurants. Not exactly illegal cupcakes, but pretty close.

That whole part about the fake logistics company is actually a bit concerning. Usually scam sites are extremely obvious to anyone familiar with the internet. However, that one was pretty damn convincing. These scammers are a cut above the rest, and that's not good at all.

Unlike all those other YouTubers, Atomic Shrimp is guaranteed to give me an informative video with NO clickbait! Highly recommended, 10/10 I'll be watching again

No legitimate customer of an illegal service is ever gonna leave a review. "Oh yes, I'm a regular customer of this drug dealer and I'd highly recommend them."

OFF TOPIC: What a cute puppy!!!! As a pet owner, I always appreciate when channels share either pics of their pets or the pets of family, friends, or simply animals that the hosts/narrators come across in their lives. It's such a treat.

I've been having fun rewording the scam emails and using my own butchered sentences to humorous effect as they confusingly try to understand what I said before accusing me of being a scam artist

[undetestable]

When I was a youth folks that wanted a fake ID would just find someone who looks vaguely like them who is 21 or older and use thier old or out of date ID. Much easier...definitely not something I did, I was a good kid.

"Be rest assured"
Oh OK. I'm rest assured now.

The best way to know that something is a scam is if you're getting told "it's definitely not a scam" before you even ask.

I saw right through those IDs as soon as I noticed they were not glarded
