I would suggest that if your "friend" paid "someone" for an ID card, that it is likely fake.
I don't live in Portugal, but I suspect that even in Portugal, the government issues their National ID card directly. In my mind, going to "someone" other than the government authority would be a dead giveaway that the ID is not authentic.
The issuing body, be it a government agency or other private organization, would also be the people to contact to validate the ID card. If this card is issued by the Government of Portugal, contacting the consulate (if you are not in Portugal) is a good starting point.
