You can purchase an official ID under $10. Many Indian marketing firms use them.
It opened my eyes to how far scam can go. A billion dollar valuation or millions of likes says nothing.

If you made this transaction with your credit card, you could call up your bank two weeks later and get your $2k back that day.
BitCoin? Kiss that virtual fool's gold goodbye.

I'm mostly infuriated at Facebook for not validating the company name or doing anything resembling protecting their audience. I lent them too much credibility because it looked like they were ads from the real company's page, and so I let down my guard elsewhere.
I've never otherwise been hacked or scammed, and I know allllll of the basics to look out for, but this one still infuriates me for making a fool of myself.
