I'm working with a new lad who is promising me quite the fortune. 50 million, and all I have to do is provide identification!

I have never actually created a photo ID before. Does anyone have tips, or a good template? For a photo I am thinking I will use Tom Cruise or Adam Lambert.

Take a large file (around ~5MB works well). Rename as "PhotoID.jpg" or w/e. Haven't had any lads reject this ID.

Think its a general rule around here not to send IDs that could possibly be used against real victims.

Good luck.

Don't send an ID. Even though you may think it looks fake, real victims may not.

Come up with an excuse of why you can't send an ID. For example:

1) You don't have a scanner
2) You lost your driver's license and you need to go to the department of motor vehicles to get a new one
3) Send him junk file (DLL).
4) Tell him it's illegal to scan IDs.

Both great ideas, thanks! I think I will rename a 5 megabyte video of my cats.

You don't need a fake ID to bait. Just ignore the request and he probably won't notice.

We discourage the use of ID as the scammers reuse it to fool victims. If the ID is good enough to fool a scammer, it's good enough to fool a vic.

If your lad really makes a fuss. Send him one of the thousand alternatives.

Good luck with your bait

Edit: stupid slow fingers. ^all good ideas^

One very simple and ingenious method is this

These days I like to send a scan that's either blurred, over-contrasted, or otherwise so distorted that you can't read it.

You can make these yourself in photoshop, or some are ready-made here:

If he complains, tell him that it says on the passport that it has new security features that make it impossible to scan or photocopy.

That way, he can't get his passport, but it doesn't look suspicious if you later send him a scan of some other document such as a WU receipt.

Hey, I was inspired.

Hope you find this useful Smile

^^^ Nice

I was baiting once as a Scandanavian porn starlet and made one up with various coats of arms of Sweden, Denmark, etc. The text though was the "Bork Bork Bork" song that the Swedish Chef off the Muppet Show used to sing.

Lad didn't notice Laughing

I use THIS TOOL to create a 5 to 8 MB "zip" file that is broken. The "image" in it is named passport.jpg or .bmp. I have never had a lad ask for another ID nor say the zip is broken. My guess is they see the large file size and don't even bother downloading it.

You could just say you have recently sent your docs away for renewal. They are bound to get lost, delayed etc. When you eventually get them back, say they have sent you someone else's by mistake so you have to send them back again. Can take months.

If they ask for your phone number. Say you dropped your mobile down the toilet and don't fancy the idea of putting your hand in to get it back. You can't wear rubber gloves because they bring you out in hives. Ask them for solutions and suggestions on how to retrieve the phone without touching it. Wink

I'm new, but already of the opinion that actually sending any bits purporting to be a document should be a last resort, never the first. Only after you've delayed him for a week or more should you think about sending him the first corrupted dll or whatnot, and only after another week should you think about the blurry scan. And of course, at no point should any even somewhat convincingly recyclable documents be given.

Sure, the lad may well drop you. But if you're still at this stage, it's not like either of you have invested much. You can always get him again from another account, or even pick up where you left off later on using a halfway plausible excuse. And if you put in enough enticements, even after he drops you he'll still wonder whether it was a mistake to be so impatient. I think this is a much better outcome than ceding to his demands immediately via any sending of a document.

Asking "how do I mock up this document?" versus "how do I avoid sending this document now, if ever?" seems to always mean making the lad's job easier and less stressful.

Note: I may be biased because I am currently restricting myself to a handful of straightbaits the goal of which is to not use a single technical modality whatsoever for at least the first few months. No GV phonecalls, not a single document sent. So obviously I would like to believe that it is possible to delay the production of a Magic Document indefinitely.

Relax, you're over thinking it. Send this...
