PLEASE DON’T BUY FAKE IDS IN THE AMERICAS, THIS IS NOT SAFE
McALLEN — A pair of Mexican nationals each pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges for their role in a scheme to provide fake identification documents in exchange for cash, court documents show. Standing before U.S. District Judge Micaela Alvarez, Aidee Elizabeth Vazquez-Gomez and Jesus Manuel Renteria-Zavala each pleaded guilty to one count of fraud with identification documents in connection with a federal investigation that led to the arrest of the pair from Mexico. A month after they each pleaded not guilty to the fraud charges, Vazquez-Gomez and Renteria-Zavala agreed to reverse course and plead true to their respective charge in exchange for a reduced offense level at sentencing, court records show. On March 6, an undercover agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations negotiated with Vazquez-Gomez to pay $160 for a set of fake identification documents, a Texas ID card and a social security card, according to the complaint filed against the pair.
