Sure, anything can be compromised, but asking a stranger in a foreign country to manufacture an identifying document for you opens the door to someone stealing your identity.

However, sending your personal information to a fake ID business isn’t exactly the same thing as entering your credit card information on a reputable merchant’s website. To no one’s surprise, the industry has moved online, with young Americans ordering fake IDs much the same way they would buy red plastic cups in bulk off : fill out a form and click to buy - done. Many entrepreneurs have stories of creating a successful fake-ID business on college campuses (it’s illegal, but it’s lucrative), because as long as there have been rules, there have been people looking to break them. The fake ID has been a popular purchase for decades among Americans younger than the drinking age.
