Further info: we don't send "fake" passports to the lads -they tend to reuse them on REAL victims.

Irish has given you a good option. Here are a few more:

(a) My passport is attached to this e-mail (attach nothing)

(b) I don't have a scanner -can I mail you a photocopy?

(c) It is attached (attach a COPY of a large dll file from your computer, renamed as passport.jpg)

(d) It is encrypted for security reasons. (attach a copy of a DLL - provide instructions in detail on how to decode it)

(e) I loaned it to my identical twin for his trip to Nepal. He will be back in 4-6 weeks (this allows an opportunity to introduce a second character, the twin, writing from a remote internet cafe in Nepal which, regrettably, has no scanner).

I've mentioned before that I use a renamed .dll file as a passport. On a PC (Not sure about Macs, though you could download one off the net for sure), do a search in all files and folders for a .dll file. Find one JUST under the attachment limit for your email provider and make a copy of the file. Stick it somewhere you can find easily and rename it passport.jpg

It won't do anything (like open for example), causing endless annoyance to our lad. And it has the added bonus of allowing you to slap him. I routinely tell lads I've sent them a naked photo of myself and they can't be bothered to open it. Then you can blame the version of windows they're using: "you're using VISTA??? No wonder it doesn't work, upgrade to windows 7, it's fine in that Wink

You can always generate an unopenable file with this. http://www.xnet.se/fd/

As mentioned by Bruin, we don't send things to lads that can be reused.... Nothing at all! Wink

one modality that works surprisingly well is to give them a random passport number and tell them that your country's embassy can verify it. Sending passport scans is illegal and you could get into a lot of trouble (that's what you tell them anyhow). Thanks to Dr Mike for that one.

The Unix equivalent of a DLL file is a file whose name begins with "lib" and contains ".so" near the end. This may be true on Mac as well, since it's based on Unix.

I take a valid jpeg or png file and change a few bytes with a hex editor. I have done the same with a pdf, but I only partly messed it up.

Passports aren't a big deal in my baits. I usually just flat out ignore the request. You'd be surprised how many lads drop it when they get tired of asking for it. Or, ignore it for a couple of weeks, then if he asks again pretend you already sent it.

But, all of the techniques suggested here are good. In an absolute last resort, and I do mean last, use a writejunk file. Most of the time they don't even open attachments you send them.

A DLL file is a good choice but the real smart lad (and there are not many) may try and open it in a text editor and see some plain text indicating it's origins - or at least that it isn't really a graphics file.

My own choice is to encrypt a file using something like AXCrypt or even Winzip and then rename the resultant encrypted file with a .JPG extension and send that to him. There will be no text and the lad will not be able to do anything useful with the file.

This is usually good for a bit of lad frustration:
