Long ago I had asked for a .07 loan although i got a little flamed fr being a newb 1 guy contacted me r u ready to send ID ?

I sent him ID of my passport along with me holding n utility bill.

He then goes on to say the copy of me holding my passport is not crystal clear. He demands of crystal clear copies of me holding my ID proof and address proof !I wldnt knw why he would need this unless he scam n run away to invest in some jam ?

SO I told him come to skype ill show u my passport u can see for urself n everything else no reply after that :D

SO everyone BEcareful before giviing your IDS out !!!!!

Hi,
Never show your personal information to people you do not trust! I was working in a bank for 2 years as a retail manager and it was too easy if you want to scam people. Only a valid copy of your ID card is enough to get a 20000$ loan. It was to easy to scam the system. There is a lot online loan companies in my country which gives you about up to 3000$ only with a valid copy of your ID card. So be very careful when you give your details about you.

I agree that was a clear attempt at trying to scam you

Obvious attempt at a full on identity hijacking imho.  Good that you posted this thread, this I think will be all to common and people need to be made aware of this crap!

Either use a escrow or only trust the person if that person is reputable and trusted among the community. I believe this type of scam is quite commonly seen.

What was his name?
