Hi, I just received a very sketchy offer from a potential client in my DMs. They want me to log into their second trading account and verify it with my government ID, I could seemingly change the email and password later on. 

He asks me to log in and "record his trades" aka write an excel sheet with who he invested in and how much, and he would pay me 40 dollars per trade, around 10 a day, so 400 a day for this simple task?? 

Obviously a little sketchy. 

Now I am curious how that scam works? What do they try to get from me? Steal my government ID details? Or use the account as a money mule? Anyone know? 

Sketchy buyer but not sure what the scam is?
