The FBI and Dutch police today said that they seized two domains and a blog tied to VerifTools, an international criminal marketplace that sold identity documents for as little as $9.

VerifTools was one of the largest online shops for fake driver's licenses, passports, and other forms of ID. With these documents, criminals can assume new identities, get hired by tech companies in fake IT worker scams , or pull off digital identity and bank help-desk fraud. Teens can also use fake IDs to trick sales clerks into selling them alcohol, we're told.

On August 27, the Rotterdam Police Cybercrime Team seized data from the VerifTools website's servers at a data center in Amsterdam, according to the Dutch police, while the FBI pulled the platform offline.
