The problem with accepting id over the net

I have been running a small business online now for some time and it does very well. I have ever increasingly been getting a number of orders from the same part of the world. Now i didn't think much of it at the time but it does all seem a bit weird. I get paid ok and on time but something just doesn't ring true for me. One very bizarre case had a chap with a foreign sounding name using a card in a none foreign name and then a shipping address of nigeria which started alarm bells ringing. I have started now for some orders asking for proof of id so i can ensure i am posting to the right person. This was fine until someone sent me a fake uk driving licence as proof but was an obvious fake, made me think how many fakes i had missed before now! It makes me wonder though that how can anything be safe anymore, it used to be a case of sending id over to confirm who you are.
