I ordered a catapult from someone on Instagram that lives in Indonesia. He is asking for a copy of my license because he says it’s the rules from customs to ship something to the USA. Is this legit? I don’t feel comfortable sending my info to someone I really don’t know. Anyone here from Indonesia?
That’s ridiculous. Do not do it. Maybe a translation issue? In any case, if they really want your ID, it sounds like attempted identity theft.
NO WAY….
"He is asking for a copy of my license because he says it’s the rules from customs to ship something to the USA."
I bought stuff from Indonesia repeatedly between about 1999 and 2006.
It was always from the same seller, but he didn't ask for a copy of my license.
I've also never heard of this "rule" before, so I wouldn't send the guy a copy of my license.
Asked my friend from Indonesia, he said it’s most likely a scam. He sells items online and there is no such rule.
Do not give your license.
That’s what I figured. Thanks for all ya’s help. Very much appreciated
