Teenagers could pay a high price for a beer Authorities say 14 arrested over fake licenses at risk of ID theft By Bryan Fitzgerald Published 11:16 p.m., Tuesday, April 3, 2012
SARATOGA SPRINGS — It seemed like a harmless way to score some beer.
But prosecutors say city teens who handed over their names, birth dates, pictures and signatures to a China-based company in exchange for sophisticated fake IDs are in for a lifetime of debt.
City police announced Tuesday the arrests of 14 teenagers, most of them Saratoga Springs High School students, who purchased phony IDs through the now-defunct website ID Chief.
Along with a money order for $75, police said, the teens wired personal information overseas to people in the business of stealing identities.
In return, the kids got a driver's license that officials say can fool border patrol and airport security, let alone Caroline Street bouncers.
