Was I wrong to ...

Received today an unsolicited message for a guy who attached a face pic photo which was his (public sector) works ID card. I could see it was current and all the details clearly. I sent a polite message suggesting that he should not send an image of this card to strangers he did not know well and I was just concerned for his safety and privacy.

Was I wrong to do so and what would you do?

You were right to point it out but I'm afraid he probably won't thank you for it

He hasn't responded but very silly of him in my view.

You did right. We had one a while back and a quick Google search matched with his linkdin profile with all his personal details, turns out he was an actor! I let him know and he vanished!

the right frame of mind -London

Ask for a copy of his bank statement and a recent utility bill too

You did the right thing.

Although does his other pics match the id?

I'd be concerned that he could be a victim of an elaborate set up. Someone sends a pic of his ID to you, you respond, messages start getting racy, he gets outed maliciously etc...

Not saying it is wrong to message a TV/TS, but if the ID owner has no idea this is going on...

Not worth it as I know he doesn't earn a lot in his position

You did the right thing - there are too many unscrupulous people on this site that would possibly use the information against him.

Who can tell? I was very polite so no harm can come from my response

But did anyone feel sorry for you and pay some money in?

Very sensible response, one would hope he would pay heed
