Sixteen people were arrested by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and Secret Service in what they're calling Operation Card Shark. Card Shark seeks to break up false document schemes.

In its latest bust, authorities seized a large quantity of counterfeit Social Security cards, other fake IDs, and equipment for making the false identity documents.

Next time you're opening an account or making a loan using some sort of ID as verification of identity conjure up a mental image of this picture in your mind and let it motivate you to examine it just a bit more closely so that you're sure who you're really dealing with.
