The best tip is:

never send a lad something that they can use on another victim

Smile

We never send them fake ID, or scans of passports, or anything that could ever make their lives easier.

Best thing to do is send him an MP3 file that you have renamed: "passport_Scan.JPG"... or send him this:

That's an actually scan of a passport I played around with, so it does look like a genuine scrambled or corrupted file.

Please feel free to ask anything, to any of us, if you ever need help. Smile

May I ask where you got the scanned passport from?
Was it sent to you, and is it obvious that it is a fake, or are you unsure?

If you are in doubt, feel free to post it up here and we can have a look at it.
If you do this, please edit the passport with the word "Fake", or something similar over the top, so that it cannot be re-used.

We don't use fake passports here. Although we did indeed do so in the past, we soon caught on that scammers could be recycling these IDs to help their scams on real victims.

Here are some suggestions that have been tried and tested before:

1- Ignore any requests for ID (surprisingly effective)

2- Tell them you can't/won't send it. Perhaps you don't have a passport or scanner, your scanner is broken, or sending IDs over the internet is illegal where you live.

Sometimes I say my passport isn't around, but I'll send them my photo instead (there's no problem sending fake photos as they are no more or less convincing to a real victim than anything the scammers already have).

3- Send a blurred or otherwise unreadable scan that can't be reused. You can find plenty of those here:

4- Send the front cover of the passport book

5- Send an image saying that the FBI detected an illegal image of a passport scan and refused it.

6- Rename a random mp3 or dll file as "passport.jpg" and send that. It won't open on their computer (We can provide you with one of these if you'd like)

7- Send an image of a purported "error message" saying that you need to upgrade to Windows Vista to open the image- again, I can give you one of these if you want.

My current modality is to send a blurred or over-contrasted unreadable image, and if he complains, I say that modern passports now have security features that prevent them being scanned or photocopied. That way they can't get a copy of my passport, but I scan still send dodgy scans of WU receipts and other documents later in the bait.

EDIT: Looks like the sheep beat me to it!

Anything is an obvious fake if you know what you are looking for Wink

Any time a lad asks me for a passport or id, I just send this

Surprisingly, they never complain or question it Confused

Recently I told a lad who asked for identification, that (since my character is 71 yrs old) that I did not drive anymore (no drivers license), that I did not travel internationally anymore (due to age and widowed) so no passport, that everywhere I went in my small hometown everyone knew me, so I only had a library card. And I asked if that would suffice? I am waiting to hear since I only just sent a response email to the lad.

I also told the lad that "I knew who I was so didn't need much identification" Very Happy

Make a fake jpeg that he can't open. Make him install muay updates and codecs, etc. Read the stickies in the help forum, lots of funny info on what to do there.

I have sent a trash file 5 MB ID and they've responded by telling me its acceptable.

I think they just want to test your compliance with instructions.

That is exactly it.

They don't need your ID for the documents for the lawyer for the bank for the inheritance, because there is no documents, no lawyer, no bank and no millions.

If they think you honestly tried to send them your passport, that is good enough.

Love the pic of the cover only. That is funny.

No pics of PPs just junk pdf files that are large dlls renamed. They can download Acrobat Reader as many times as you tell them it's their computer that is not carrying the right version. You can't help it their country is not allowed the most cutting edge technology.

One very simple and ingenious method is this

Frustrates mugu trying to open it, which is always his fault of course... Laughing

Simba, you beat me to the punch. That is always my favorite!

Method Man, when it doesn't open, tell them they need to install Windows Vista to open it, or reinstall their OS. If they already have Windows, tel them, didn't they know Windows Vista is buggier that a $5 a night whorehouse bed? Tell them to install Mac OS....
