More than 30,000 fake vaccination cards have been seized by Customs and Border Protection officers nationally.

On Friday, the agency's Philadelphia office released an image of a counterfeit card that shipped from Bulgaria to an address in Stamford, Connecticut.

Officials say the item was hidden inside of a greeting card.

Online dealers are selling fraudulent cards for as much as $500 each.

With more and more entities requiring vaccination cards to enter public places, authorities say there appears to be a growing market for fake vaccinations cards.

Authorities say not only are they illegal, but you also risk the fake cards being intercepted by Customs and Border Patrol officer

I am glad the Customs and Border Protection service is keeping us safe from fake vax cards instead of wasting time looking for illegal aliens who may be drug smugglers or human traffickers.

What? Do the open all mail from Bulgaria? Or do they have vax card sniffing dogs?

People should get the finest quality counterfeit materials like Obama did when the guy at the storefront magic and “your name printed on a newspaper headline” place made him a great Hawaiian birth certificate from his Kenyan one. His mom showed it all over. “It looks so real.”

Image of vax card....

Thanks for taking Biden’s name off as a blur. Would have embarrassed him.

His shots given in videos almost looked real in front of the canvas backdrop behind the indoor windows made to look like a statesman’s office. They had to return it to the Midtown High School to use in school plays again.

People have to send off to Bulgaria to get one? Just take a real one, make a copy, white out the handwritten info and make as of them as you like. It is printed on light card stock and if your copy has the CDC logo on it, you are likely committing some kind of federal offense.

Shouldn’t we have the Right to declare ourselves Trans-Vaccinated??

Or crates filled with fake ballots.

I am absolutely SHOCKED since doing this at a cost of close to $0 should be with the technical capabilities of the average 8th or 9th grader. (Philadelphia public schools must be even worse than I thought.)

They could be printed on any inkjet printer.

They have no security features built in. Printable, blank examples can be found with a simple search.

Why would anyone take the trouble of smuggling them in?

If a male can identify as female, and a caucasian can identify as black, then I see no reason a pure blood can’t choose to identify as vaxxed.

That one looks good. If you’re concerned with the quality. Take a photo of it on your phone. I think you’re asking for trouble handing a fake card to a border agent. Concerts or restaurants, fine.

There are images of blank cards on the internet, so no need for the Wite-Out. The CDC card isn't wallet-sized so how many people carry the originals around with them? (People who aren't neurotic enough to be wearing 3 masks, a face shield and gloves?)

If the card-forging criminal were to take a blurry photo of the forgery, keep the photo on his/her/it's iPhone, and didn't make stupid mistakes like misspelling "Pfizer", "Moderna" or "Johnson", how could Officer Friendly know?

(Or maybe this is an IQ Test???)

Poor print quality? The originals are poor print quality. These are so basic, they could be easily counterfeited. My complaint about them from the beginning is that they’re an awkward size. They’re too big to fit into a credit card slot in my wallet and I’m afraid in with my bills, I’m accidentally going to pull it out with some cash sometime and drop it. I’ve never had to use it (and don’t plan to go anywhere where I have to show it) and it already looks well worn.

The New York “steward governor” made it a felony to have a fake one...as though that is the state’s biggest concern.

From Connecticut, huh. Same place where Obamy got one of his many social security cards.

How about the Border Protection service actually protect the border.

Where did you hear that from?   My card is four inches by three inches and fits in my wallet just fine.

Just more false information roaming the streets.   I don't understand the need to make things up.   Here in Georgia, I have never even heard of anyone being asked to show a card and it hasn't been asked of me.
