Is it safe to sell your id card photo to buyer?

[hedwigstudio]

So, I have this buyer. He want me to deliver photo of my id card for ‘verifying game account’. Is this safe? Thanks!

The buyer is trying to pose as you. Are you comfortable with that? Therein lies your answer.

If you’re questioning if it’s safe and has a funny feeling about it…trust your instincts.

Yes, thanks very much! I’ve cancelled his order

Lol. FRAGGLESROCK NO!

Confusing - I don’t see anything you’re selling that is “game account” related?



WHY would a buyer be asking you that anyway LOL!



Good on you for canceling!

I would never do this! It does not sound safe at all!

Reply to @solidslick: Yes. First, I’m sorry if my English is not that good. This buyer is from a certain country. He ordered my hold your sign gig (kimono one) and asked me to replace the sign with my ID Card. So, I did it. But he rejected my delivery because the ID Card’s detail wasn’t that clear. I had this bad feeling about this buyer earlier (he constantly sent me a message demanded me to reply it asap), so I requested a cancellation of his order. He rejected my request, and instead, asked me to send my ID Card photo, which is suspicious.



Recently, I got a message from a buyer (same country with this buyer earlier) about same gig, and he attached this zip file (he said that this file contains a ‘colourful text file’ he wants me to hold). But, when I extracted it, it contains an exe format file. Which is also very suspicious. Lol.



I love fiverr so much.

Hmmmmmmmm …



That’s back to basic internet safety.



Don’t EVER give your personal details to anyone unless there is a clear and VALID reason. There was NOT one in this case.



Anyway glad it worked out.
