Real ID cheated target applicants as deadline hits – this is a red flag to take care of

True id, real deceptions.

Artists have been aimed at Americans overwhelmed by today’s deadline for a true ID.

The improved identification form will be required to fly domestically, enter federal buildings and enter safe environments with phonetic websites that promise accelerated processing, for Better Business Bureau.

However, the only way to get a real ID is by visiting DMV personally – a fact that fraudsters are using, said Pamela Hernandez, BBB Springfield Regional Director, according to KSNF JOPLIN.â

â € œMsomething that we see that are similar passports and passport renovations, ”Hernandez said.

“People hurry because they have a journey by going out, and they start looking online on how to accelerate it, and fraudsters create websites to take advantage of it and confused consumers.

Amie Mitchell, General Director of Better Business Bureau of Eastern Oklahoma, said fraudsters are creating fake websites that claim to offer real online IDs, luring to frantic customers who are desperate to meet the deadline, reports Fox News 23.

â € œ you have to be careful with real ID, “Mitchell warned.” The scams we’ve seen online are you can get your real ID completely online. If you are seeing it, this is false. You have to go to the local DMV to do it and there are only certain DMVs in the city that are actually doing this.â €

Bao Vang with Better Business Bureau echoes those concerns, encouraging people to avoid the introduction of personal or financial information into any unwanted message or pages claiming to provide true IDs.

“If you are required to provide additional information, such as bank account information or credit card numbers, probably a red flag of a fraud,” Vang told CBS News.

True ID is an identification form improved by security that includes a gold star in the upper corner.

To get one, applicants must provide some forms of documentation, including a birth certificate, social security card and residence test – all main objectives for identity thieves.

Mitchell emphasized that as the deadline has arrived, customers with a valuable passport can still fly without a real id, providing a breathing room to avoid acceleration – and fraudsters.

Conconsummers need to know that there are all kinds of fake websites there that will say they can do it all for you and I know we have a timeline, but you can’t just do it online. You should go to DMV, ”she told she fox news 23,

The BBB advises consumers to report suspected fraud to their local BBB office and the FTC.GOV Federal Commission.
