Provider asking for selfie with your ID?

[Ghadd]

A new provider in my area, PapaLobo, is asking clients to provide a selfie with their ID, as a countermeasure to scammers. He's a hairy beast that ticks a lot of my boxes, but that requirement is a huge turnoff...

What do you guys think? Red flag or prudent business?

[peter831]

No way would I do that. Can you spell identity theft?

[HoseMaster]

Do NOT do it. There is absolutely no reason for that.

[BuffaloKyle]

Yeah, that is a horrible horrible idea. Who would ever let a provider know their full name, address, and date of birth. If he asked me for that I'd say show me yours first! 🤣

This request is not reasonable. In almost every way the client is taking a much bigger risk meeting a provider than the provider is meeting the client.

I don’t care how hot he is . NO 

[Rod Hagen]

Oh fuck him, seriously.

Personally, I only accept previous-year tax statements and pictures of your current pets.

I had a provider ask me to take a picture of my driver's license and text him the photo 

I promptly replied sorry not happening and I am no longer interested in meeting with you 

Then blocked him on RM and my phone

You should ask him for his ID to prove that he is really 31. 

[+ JEC]

Never.

[+ DrownedBoy]

Absolutely not.

I just read a profile for a visiting provider. In his ad, he announced he was very "selective" about who he met with, and required a full-body photo. I just blocked his ad as a precaution....

He should rebrand himself PapaLoco. 

I was gonna say no way in Spanish, but I'd get a timeout.

Who falls for scammers these days anyways? Do not send anything @Ghadd. Just the fact that he created his RM profile 2 days ago is enough red flag to not trust.

[Ghadd]

Thanks everyone. Wasn't going to contact him, but I thought maybe I was overreacting. Good to know I'm not paranoid!

I guess you haven't received a call from the Donald.

[BaronArtz]

He is a newbie who joined RM on September 19.  Inexperienced?  Or law enforcement?

Whatever it is - no way!

I'm not at liberty to say.

I don't care how cuddly he looks, no way.

[Epigonos]

It would be a VERY cold day in hell when I send what he is requesting.  ABSURD REQUEST!!!

You got me there.  I always opt for the male pat down at security.  God Bless America

It's blessed me with quite a few good memories
