I get that people need to be safe and have screening procedures but a picture of my passport? Linked in profile? This sounds like a blackmail scam to me. Thoughts?

Heck no! No amount of pussy or how good it might seem worth giving out Passport info!

I have no problem sending her a picture of my passport.

Not sure if the universe is infinite, but people's stupidity can be pretty close.
Thing is this is an ask for people who can work a computer/tablet/phone and the internet. And if that ad was up, you can bet someone out there complied. Put the ad or similar world wide and there will be more than a few replying. Willingly giving up their identity.

For THIS person? No, I wouldn't even contact her without those requirements. This is a scam artist.

For many established SW's, yes. Zero problem providing deposit/personal info to established, known providers. It provides them re-assurance of their safety and holds me accountable in the event I'm not being 100% serious at that time.

Same answer here - NO WAY!

Ok that's enough. Clearly sending a pic of your passport is ill advised.
