Some channel names on encrypted messaging service Telegram were more subtle than others—“Fraud Market” and “Fraud University” being among the most brazen.

“I will do everything for you to make money,” one user wrote on a page for the group “FAKE ID SHOP”.

In the last few years, there has been a surge in discussions on encrypted messaging apps about bypassing ID checks, a key step in stealing cryptocurrencies or money laundering via digital assets.

Some scammers post price lists for different services or fraudulent documents, such as scannable passports, Social Security cards, birth certificates or pay stubs. Others even offer to create a digital face rendering that could help an individual bypass more intensive crypto exchange ID checks.
