Kevin tells Jean that the photo sent to him "could have been done by any five-year-old with software like Photoposh", he means that it is so simple to alter a photo with the right software, that EVEN a child could do it. There is no evidence that Vladimir has a five-year-old son.
Throughout this dialogue, Kevin warns Jean that Vladimir is planning to "rob" and "scam" him. Kevin believes that Vlad is trying to "extort" money from Jean. To extort money is to obtain it through intimidation, threats or coercion.
Kevin suggests that the photo sent by Vladimir is a "fake", then says that anyone with photo-editing software is capable of altering a photo. A "fake" is a counterfeit or false copy of something. Example: The Picasso I bought for 5 dollars in Las Vegas turned out to be a fake.
At the end of the dialogue, Kevin informs Jean that he could be held hostage by Vladimir. Jean never admits to this however. To hold someone hostage is to hold them prisoner in exchange for something.

1 bribe: To "bribe (someone)" is to pay them money to exert their influence or provide a service. Officials with important positions are generally bribed, such as policemen or judges. For example: The defendant bribed the judge in order to receive a lighter sentence. In this conversation, Kevin suggests that Vlad has bribed the airport officials to allow Jean to enter the country illegally.
2 customs: In the context of import, export and travel, "customs" refers to the inspection and taxation of certain goods or merchandise. Customs agents or officers are the people responsible for inspecting these goods. When traveling internationally, it is generally required to pass through (or to clear) customs.
3 fake: A "fake (passport)" is a passport which has been illegally copied. It is a false document. The term "fake" can be used both as a noun (as it is in this conversation) or a verb, as in the sentence "I faked sickness to avoid going to work".
4 scam: A "scam" is a fraudulent business plan or scheme designed to cheat or obtain money from an unsuspecting person. To "scam" is the act of tricking or fooling a person out of their money or valuables. Jean is being "scammed" by Vladimir who is offering him a large amount of money, but in reality it is Vladimir who hopes to make money from Jean. Example: I was scammed out of 300 dollars by someone promising to make me rich.
5 rob: To "rob" refers to the act of stealing money and valuables, often by force, whereas a "scam" is a scheme planned in advance.

fake: This is the right answer. A "bogus (name)" is "fake", "false", or "made-up". A "bogus webpage" is pretending to be something which it is not. Here's another example: "I gave the police a bogus name when they tried to arrest me. I'm a genius".
illegal: This is not the best choice here. Although the website described in the article was made to perform "illegal" activities, the term "bogus" does not share a close meaning with "illegal" or "against the law".
pornographic: This is not the best choice here. "Pornographic" websites display images and videos of a sexual nature. This does not share a similar meaning with "bogus".
broken: This is not the best choice here. If something is "broken", it doesn't work. This does not share a similar meaning with "bogus".
