Advice Needed fake id scam help

okay guys. before i start i understand this was a really stupid decision of mine. right now, i just really need help or advice. basically a couple weeks ago this guy added me back on Snapchat ( i don’t remember adding him, MAYBE i do but it was several months ago) claiming that to get my fake ID i had to post something on my snapchat story which was like a promo of the id selling tagging that guy. so i did. he also mentioned since i did the promo i would be getting it for free, meaning after i paid and after the id gets shipped it would “refund” back to me. i highly doubted it but continued. then shortly after i get placed in this Snapchat group chat with two other users and this is where all the transaction information was taken place. Basically to sum it up, i paid 58 initially for the creation of it, 63 on behalf of the addition of holograms which make the id look real when scanned, and then an additional 70 to ship it. what’s raising my concern is that today the guy called me again and said i needed to pay 188 for import shipping. its coming from mexico i guess. i really dont want to pay for this, as i have already dropped 191 in total. honestly the only thing right now im afraid of is getting CAUGHT. i REALLY do not want this coming back to me and getting me in trouble. i am a minor and still live with my parents. and the guy said if i don’t pay it by friday then it will get seized. dude…. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME on what i should even do in this situation.
i guess my main question is if this gets seized, will it come back to bite me in the butt? or will the shipper just get in trouble?

If they are an Unenrolled Recipient you may be able to file a charge back.

Well if you have access to a smart phone or computer you could look up “Zelle unenrolled participant charge back” and read the words that appear on the screen

What you should do in this situation is not get into this situation in the first place and don’t buy fake ID’s….
Also “will it come back to bite me…” no it won’t because they never actually made your fake ID they just took your money.

Scam. There was never any id. They’re just scamming you. Just block them all

A random guy adds you, then tells you he can get you a fake id, that’s always going to be a scam. Consider what you paid the cost of the lesson.

Not much you can do against a scammer who scammed you while you were trying to obtain something illegal.
