On the outside deposits and sending a valid ID are both good ideas . . .
HOWEVER, deposit scams have become what I highly suspect in many or most cases are off shore organized, criminal operations!!!
One example . . . go to either call escort or Listcrawler or both, enter “mom” as a search and watch what happens! Do the same with “divorced” and “sexy girl” and a host of others.
Within the last 60 days or so lots and lots of “Latinas” are passing through Lenexa and surrounding areas! AND many ads are listing snapchat as the only way to contact!! If these two markers don’t excite anybody’s spidey senses . . .
In this town some of us are HIGHLY reluctant to send “full name”, “employer” info, etc. Unmasked/unedited government IDs is dangerous and stupid!
As I continually preach to the newbie, read carefully, every sentence, scammers will usually ID themselves by what and how they write most of the time!!
End rant!
