. Fake IDs scams going around
This one works best in busy cities, but is devilishly effective and almost cost free. Make a color scan of your passport; get your local Photoshop nerd to edit the birthday - then print! Just carry this copy in your wallet and get ready to put on your best fake accent as you explain “The hotel told me to keep my passport in the Hotel, so I only have a copy of it”. Works well, and the best part is, its bouncer proof. Oh no, you encountered a bouncer who took the paper away, or even worse, shredded it in front of you? BOO-HOO. Stop home and click print!
